Li Peiying was executed this week in China for financial corruption charges in which he grabbed about million from his job running a few airports. It took only a few months from guilty to the executioner’s bullet. Fast and Furious! Former Beijing airport chief executed for corruption
With nothing much changing in American financial oversight, with complicated SEC rules and legislation our high end gangstas learn to get around things even before they are passed. Perhaps this simple Chinese solution would help AIG, Goldman and our endless stream of Bernie Madoffs’ take a little notice before the fact. After all, my American friends tell me the purpose of capital punishment is that it is a deterrent.
A simple federal bill which includes the Republican desire to not only expand executions, hurry them up with none of that appeals and Miranda crap, and put a mandatory sentencing clause into it is a sure win in Congress. Even Democrats suck up votes for crime fighting!
Jite Bill #666b – Any person found guilty of theft, robbery, fraud or monetary corruption shall receive a mandatory sentence of one year in general population prison for every $1000 taken. If the tally adds up to more years than is possible to survive, an automatic execution date will be set within one week of conviction with no appeal.
What’s to not like about this! After all this is the most Christian nation on Earth, founded on the blood of the lamb and what Jesus would do! As you will remember, Mr Christ was also executed and his last words were… "Go out and found a religion based on executions in my name!" Ecrapacle 12:6
