Obviously not the most glorious of executions, but fuck, at least its an execution. Eye for an Eye bitches. Im consistently baffled by the justice system handing out life sentences to murders and rapists. WTF mate. These people fucked up, lets just put them down and move on. If we stoned them, at least its some form of retribution for the effected... however I would be willing to just execute them quick and painless (relatively as I guess there is a millisecond or so of intense pain). Instead we feed and house these fuckers forever and ever... Do we not have enough good people that kicking a few bad ones to the curb could go unnoticed... I think if you knew that killing someone was going to mean you would be dying as well you would do us all a favor and just commit suicide. Ive got to hand it to Iran, there is certainly no fucking around. 

Officials say two men in Iran have been stoned to death for adultery and murder, while another escaped death by digging his way out of the hole where he was buried to face a similar fate, according to media reports.

The sentences follow sharp criticism by human rights groups of Iran's use of such punishments.

Judiciary spokesman Alireza Jamshidi on Tuesday told reporters about the stonings, which took place in the northeastern city of Mashhad about 20 days ago, the reports said.

According to the Mashhad prosecutor, the men committed various crimes, including adultery and murder, Jamshidi said.

In the practice, the men are buried up to their chests and people pelt them with stones until they die.
