Executions on the Rise under Saudi Ruler MBS

This is Biden's friend, and Trump. Just like Putin and Netanyahu, Mohammed Bin Salman has no respect or fear of the occupant of the White House. This is giving the Saudi ruler a green light to increase his barbarous rule:

Brutal executions are on the rise in Saudi Arabia under the reign of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with human rights activists calling the score of beheadings and crucifixions a 'relentless killing spree'.

The Saudi authorities have killed hundreds in capital punishments since the Crown Prince's tenure started in 2015, hitting a new milestone that Amnesty International said reveals the kingdom's 'chilling disregard for the right to life'. 

Despite bin Salman promising he would limit the use of capital punishments, the number nearly doubled since he took the throne, according to NGO Reprieve. From 2010 to 2014 there was an average of 70.8 executions per year but from 2015 to 2022 there was an average of 129.5 executions per year – a rise of 82 per cent.

Oil is thicker than blood. And the U.S. government won't do anything to prevent the free flow of Saudi crude. Human life be damned. 

 

The son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid got his prison time reduced for a DWI crash that left a child with a brain injury

It's good to have connections in high places. And if you are the son of one of the most famous people in Missouri you get a out of jail free card:

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Friday shortened the prison sentence of former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid for a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a 5-year-old girl.

Parson's commutation converted the remainder of Reid's three-year prison sentence to house arrest, subject to several conditions. Reid had been sentenced in November 2022 after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury. He is the son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid.

Doesn't matter the sentence for driving drunk and almost killing a child gets 3 years is outrageous. 

Oh, this is the same governor who pardoned a couple that pointed guns at peaceful protestors. Parsons, a Republican, who is a former Sheriff, you would think he'd be a law and order guy. That's only for show, obviously. GOP hypocrisy is built in with the job. Especially after Trump became president.
