Just two beheadings so far...

Yes, it does, REALLY, happen!

When I saw this over coffee this morning, I kind of went, “Huh, I haven’t seen too many of these recently… Wonder if they just aren’t publishing them any more.” Well, the statistics shown answered my “huh,” for me. We’ve only had two beheadings so far this year as compared to eighty-three last year.

So, it’s no wonder then, that about once a week last year, these little blurbs would be in the paper – with eighty-three beheadings – that comes out to be 1.596 per week, or one one week, and two the next…

And yes, as I would see these published this past year – the paper would actually tell how many total executions had taken place to date – again, I remember kind of going, “Huh, I don’t remember seeing so many of these for last year.” And, that’s because there were only thirty-five beheadings in 2004 – that comes out to be only two-thirds of a person per week…
