The amphitheatre in Palmyra

A Roman-built ampitheatre has been used for the public execution of captured prisoners of war before an audience for the first time in perhaps 1,500 years, after ISIS forces captured the classical ruins at Palmyra last week.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports twenty prisoners, thought to be captured Syrian soldiers who had attempted to defend the ancient city from the Islamic State, were put to death before an audience of militants and locals. The observatory reports the ampitheatre dead were just a few of the near-70 executed in the area so far, on suspicion of being enemy forces, or giving them shelter, reports The Independent.
The 2,000 year-old ampitheatre is just one building in a captured city of ancient ruins, which are considered some of the best preserved in the world.

More JV antics.
The Syrians must have done something to make them mad. Islam is a religion of peace.
Everything old is new again.
Sounds like they need jobs. I heard that would solve this pesky problem. /s
As long as they’re not waterboarding, the libs shouldn’t have a problem with it.

Good one.
Verily, there’s not much new under the sun.
Every member of IS that we can catch should also be publicly executed.
Including those that try and return . No mercy , no quarter , no exceptions
Wow global climate change really is serious.

Its my own suspicion (doesn’t make it true) that the same demon that was in Saddam Hussein is whats empowering ISIS, now its just been set loose to rampage about with great wrath, demons are very territorial and its reclaiming what was scattered about, was even expecting it before ISIS showed up on the radar, didn’t know what form it would take, only what its brutish tactics look like,
Since they are JV executions they really don’t count on the overall big picture of His Arrogance.
I shouldn’t laugh but I did.
A nice photo of it, luckily a "before" shot.
Sounds about right. After all, these savages participate in a cult that worships the devil.
