8 Year Old Iranian Boy Caught Stealing Bread : Justice, Iranian style.
2005-11-01
Just a forum thread, with pics of what the MM do to children who steal. Warning, pics are not bloody, but they are quite shocking.

#10  It's not a 'punishment' or anything like that. If it was a punishment they wouldn't put the soft thing under the boy's arm.

Try crap like that in any * CIVILIZED * country and see how long a sentence you get for child abuse. The Iranian Mullocracy is * SCUM * as is anyone who supports or excuses them.

And don't post such things which are to make hate in the hearts of the people rather than sympathy.


There's the nub of it -- "Don't show people what beasts we are."

#8  It seems plausible.

wow! What does that mean, that "it seems plausible"? It "seems plausible" that this was a street performance that everyone just stood around and watched? Yeah, that would happen in a civilized country, we'd all just stand around, watch and throw a few coins in a jar.

It's not a 'punishment' or anything like that. If it was a punishment they wouldn't put the soft thing under the boy's arm.

Ooookaaay. So from that comment we can assume that we know that this is "an act" because they put a soft cloth under his arm and they would not have done that if it were to be a punishment.

Do you know how CRAZY that sounds to a civilized ear? Don't get so upset, everyone knows that when you really want to punish a child you don't put the soft cloth down.

Seen it before without the cloth, have you?

Barbarians. In case you haven't noticed, it hasn't been the 7th Century for quite some time.

#7  Re Penguin's comment: I've certainly heard of more depraved things being done to kids by parents to earn money. If fake, the kid sure does a great job emoting abject terror.

#6  One guy commented on the photos as a street performance by Dad and kid to get money from the crowd. It seems plausible.

What the guy commented:

I'm an Iranian and I've seen these pictures in a report in a local newspaper before.
It's not a 'punishment' or anything like that. If it was a punishment they wouldn't put the soft thing under the boy's arm.

The man in the picture is a poor father making a show of his son's abilities just to make money from the people standing there. This is their everyday activity. Very Very sorrowing.

Please be careful not to post anything that you don't have enough information about.
And don't post such things which are to make hate in the hearts of the people rather than sympathy.
