Crowd Burns "WITCH" Papua New Guinea; NO ARRESTS

Is she a "witch" because she can cast a spell on their husband's hearts and make them want to have sex with her?

I do not think that part is the heart Danno . Lol

This is a perfect modern example of a society that is not even minutely educated in secularism. Travel back in time to America's birth and you will find the same. Superstitious barbarians.

During many ages there were witches. The Bible said so. the Bible commanded that they should not be allowed to live. Therefore the Church, after eight hundred years, gathered up its halters, thumb-screws, and firebrands, and set about its holy work in earnest. She worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there was no such thing as witches, and never had been. One does not know whether to laugh or to cry. Who discovered that there was no such thing as a witch—the priest, the parson? No, these never discover anything. … There are no witches. The witch text remains; only the practice has changed. Hell fire is gone, but the text remains. Infant damnation is gone, but the text remains. More than two hundred death penalties are gone from the law books, but the texts that authorized them remain.

The text remains; only the practice has changed.

I have never been to Australia, but have seen many smaller Islands

The constant with all the other former colonies is that they are modern and don't have the same problems as PNG and many parts of Africa.

You do not have to worry about that if you are armed , witch killers are cowardly and cannot do math, or maybe they can , but a simple revolver and serious intent to use it sends them scurrying like mice.

I would not have confronted them with anything less than a beta mag. A revolver against a mob like that is pointless. Precisely why we need 'large capacity' magazines.

Sad, but someone like Rubio would see it as a reason to send more money there to democratize these primitives.

This whole incident sounds pretty democratic to me. If you had elections, I'm pretty sure they still would have voted to burn the witch.

Not that many years ago, 1995, a native Canadian killed someone whom he believed was "bear-walking" him (casting evil spells on him). During the trial, he argued self-defense and it was accepted.

Jacko was charged after Thompson's half-naked, battered body was found the evening of June 30, 1995 face down in a blood-spattered clearing outside a truck camper behind Jacko's house. He had been beaten to death inside the camper with a 45 cm-(18 inch) long, 7 cm-(three inch) wide walrus baculum or penis bone found in the drive-way of Jacko's home.

I know this is tasteless now, but I can't resist...

Heh, no.

I was just responding to the poster before me who suggested that no one at the scene could have possibly been horrified by these events because no one did anything to stop it.

All I am saying is that I would have been too afraid to try and stop this insane mob if I was there.

fair point, my mistake. You don't want to get between a mob and it's victim unless you have a gun. Sad but true.
