"Hahaha, this guy died and it's funny!"

You're all displaying prime examples of sociopathic behavior in gun owners. Congratulations.

And you're way over the top. Sociopathic behavior? Seriously? I guess gun owners can't laugh at the Darwin Awards anymore?

The tragic bit in the OP is not that some drug cartel middle-management got head-chopped, but that it is occurring on our soil.

Criminals will always kill other criminals in large numbers, but when they spill out of the cesspool in which they swim to mess up and stink up respectable folks & their domains, it merits notice.

Also, if it is natural and right to have sympathy & sorrow for someone good an innocent who is murdered, is it not also natural to express some satisfaction when someone evil and corrupt gets theirs?

Besides, I thought all this head-chopping was unpossible on American soil, that we could have an open border and the crime and human effluvia would stay on the southern side fo the border.

Sociopathic?

Now who's losing his head?

This thread ought to have it's own theme song . . . it's not a precise match with the topic of Mexican drug cartel gang wars, but hey, it's not a bad song. (Graphics are a bit corny on this version.)

Well, if this is okay as long as it is someone we don't like then can I interest any of you in some jokes about Abu Ghraib? The one where the guy gets electrocuted through his testicles is a hoot!

Malum In Se. In deference to Mister Shaw in whom I usually give much credence, I sincerely doubt he was speaking about torture, murder and graphic intentional destruction of human remains with the intent to instill fear in others. It does not matter who did this act or to whom it was done, certain things remain vile and abhorrent from any and all quarters. That any of you would find the act amusing or tolerable as long as it is directed at persons you dislike is absolutely sociopathic.

It all depends on the circumstances. If the electrical current had run back into that little pecker-wood girl from W. Virginia ...now that would have been funny.

When the U.S. liberated Dachau, at first the camp guards were allowed to surrender.

After the extent of what has occurred there has become clear, witnesses state an American machinegunner fed a belt into his gun, looked at the Nazis standing next to the camp fence, and said, very calmly "I think they are trying to run away."

I can only define that phrase and what occurred next as freaking hilarious.

If the man in question was not himself an associate of a brutal, foreign drug cartel I might feel more sympathy. The only reason he was executed on our soil is that he knew he was on the hot list in Mexico so he bugged out across the border. It's not like the cartel just picked a name at random out of the Phoenix phone book and sent the goons to wipe out the person to whom the name belonged.

No one's asking anyone to feel sympathy, empathy or any-thy.
That's a poor straw-man argument and you know it.

All we're asking is for folks not to act like a bunch of middle-schoolers that just stole an older kid's copy of cannibal corpse.

Even a strawman argument is better than an ad hominem. By your logic, if I have a picture of patton or another great figure, I am to be listened to? Fantastic.

By the way, so you don't come up with more brilliant strawman arguments, I'm not saying you're sociopaths. What I am saying is that you certainly aren't acting like respectable gentlemen.

In this case it is; it implies that I am unqualified, in some form or another, to make the statements I'm making.

Sure. Then again, I'm a bit callous toward inept drug runners and therefore lack a social conscience.
