Those Overzealous Turks

filed under: Stuff to laugh at

For would-be Turkish suicide bombers, even death is not a refuge from justice:

He was dead and they shot him anyway. Now that's thorough.

(From yahoo news - Reuters)

UPDATE: Joking aside, now that I've read the actual article, I can report that the scene was actually pretty brutal.

Police grabbed him after he apparently set off a detonator but failed to explode his main device. He escaped into the street where police shot him first in the leg and then in the head, the witnesses said.

I have to say: I'm a liberal and all? But if a guy's trying to blow himself up on a public street, yes, please, Officer, shoot him right in the head. Yes, even if you already got him in the leg. I'm totally fine with that. No problems here.
