The Klown LOVES this punishment

TEHRAN -- Ameneh Bahrami once enjoyed photography and mountain vistas. Her work for a medical equipment company gave her financial independence. Several men had asked for her hand in marriage, but the hazel-eyed electrical technician had refused them all. "I wanted to get married, but only to the man I really loved," she said.

Four years ago, a spurned suitor poured a bucket of sulfuric acid over her head, leaving her blind and disfigured.

Late last month, an Iranian court ordered that five drops of the same chemical be placed in each of her attacker's eyes, acceding to Bahrami's demand that he be punished according to a principle in Islamic jurisprudence that allows a victim to seek retribution for a crime. The sentence has not yet been carried out.

Nay, quothe the Klown. After the "droplets" he should also get the acid all over his face, like he did to her. Then they'll ALMOST be even. Except for the fact that this dipshit INITIATED the crime against her. So something WORSE needs to happen to him to provide a real deterrent. The Klown votes for needles in the eardrums until he passes out.

Some officials also said the punishment would be a deterrent.

"If propaganda is carried out on how acid attackers are punished, it will prevent such crimes in the future," Mahmoud Salarkia, deputy attorney general of Tehran, told reporters after the court issued its ruling.

Yes, the Klown agrees with that. If they think they are going to get acid in the face, they probably will NOT throw acid in someone else's face. Of course, leave it to an idiot lib to be unencumbered with logic.

Tehran journalist Asieh Amini, who writes about human rights and opposes the sentence, said protest has been muted because people have been moved by Bahrami's story. "It's hard not to get emotional over what has happened to her," Amini said.

Amini said she doubted that the sentence against Bahrami's attacker would reverse the trend. "Social violence will not be cured with more violence," she said.

Courts usually order families of the accused to pay "blood money" for the crimes. But Bahrami insisted on the punishment. Holy smoke -- they can charge your FAMILY for your crime. If this were the case in the US, I think a lot of criminals would mysteriously vanish ... capisce?

The reporter then tells the story of how it happened - this is an excerpt.

Three days later, on a cold, clear autumn afternoon, Bahrami was walking home through one of Tehran's busy city parks when someone tapped her on the shoulder. As she turned around, a burning fluid splashed onto her face.
