Brian David Mitchell and 1.3 Billion

Each time, major US media makes the reference that China
has the most executions in the world, the implicit or explicit
tone is that there's no human rights in China.
Let me tell you one of the benefits of most executions, is that
Brian David Mitchell will have been executed one month after
arrest. Yeah, remember that guy?
The news is that the hearing is delayed again and there's a
distinct possibility that he might even be deemed insane and
imcompetent for trial. That's real great for a country full of
human rights. Now there's something more that annoys
the talking heads is that Ed Smart, the father of the victim,
wants a plea bargain. Ok, had it been China, even the father
wants a plea, the court will accept nothing but execution.
Now that's instant justice and human rights for the victim.

On related news, Chinese population has reached 1.3 billion,
also see here. Geez, isn't normal that the country with most
population will have most executions?
Now the one child policy is another evidence of human rights
problems in China. My feeling is US will better understand
the issue when its population reaches 0.5 billion. And hey,
US is not that far behind China. US is now in fifth place
worldwide for the total number of executions annually,
trailing only China, Turkmenistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Keep up the good job.
