Gaddhafi Killers Are Just As Evil As Him
Like everyone else that day I turned on the news to see that Gaddhafi had been caught and killed. I followed the story, read with horror as witness reports flashed across the screen. I watched in disbelief as he was dragged barely conscious through the streets, bloodied and beaten, begging for his life and pleading for mercy.
His pleas fell on deaf ears. His words made no difference.
He was shot in the head like a dog in the street. His dead, battered, blood soaked corpse was then paraded around until finally being thrown into a corner for days, where people would pay to see him dead.
It was clear. Gaddhafi was a monster.
In life he was a sadistic tyrant who was responsible for more deaths, tortures, brutality than anyone can hold him accountable for. He was cruel, hard, reviled and abhorrent in actions and words. The world was definitely better with him dead.
Everyone hoped that as his life ended Libya could raise from its oppressed knees and stand tall, no longer pushed to the brink by a mad man. Everyone celebrated freedom. But the world should have been sad.
You see the capture of Gaddhafi brought upon the Libyans a moment, where just for that time, the world’s eyes were upon them. His people. Eyes that watched him beg for his life. Holding our breaths, as second by second ticked by, we watched him stripped of his clothes, his dignity and his power. When people who had suffered at his hand or instruction had the chance to show him what a human being is capable of.
In the cold light of day they had the chance to show the monster the human traits he didn’t’ possess humility, grace and compassion. And instead they took that moment to honour him by acting just like him. They hurt him, hated him and showed him nothing but anger. Let him die frightened like most of his victims. All the things they hated him for poured into them and they couldn’t stop, suddenly bloody thirsty and wild.
The reality is that he deserved to die.
But it was a disgusting, degrading death where he had no human rights- if indeed he ever was human? But by killing him and parading him they showed the world that his revenge is a bitter pill to swallow. By acting as he would have done, they showed the world they are no better than him. And while he’s laughing in his grave now it’s put the world to shame. He was condemned for being a cruel heartless monster, just like his killers.
About The Real Supermum
This blog post is a very strong post. However I do agree that they are as bad as him for doing that to him and parading him around like a piece of dirt .. agree entirely x
Completely agree. Fair enough he was a monster in life had he did deserve to die. How ever the ppl that killed him turned to animals and is was horrific to see
Iv got to say I disagree. I think he got nowhere near as bad a death as he deserved, it doesn’t make those people as bad as him, they did it to 1, he did it to more than we can know, why shouldn’t they get their little piece of revenge. If he had killed a relative of mine you can be damn sure I’d be in line to give him a good kicking!
Without a doubt Gaddhafi was a bad bad man! When we sit and think what he did to all his victims it make our skin crawl right? So why was it okay for us to do that to him? I know sometimes we say we should do to them what they’ve done to us and see how they like it but in this case we went too far. After ‘catching him’ why not just shot him or whatever and get it over with instead of the torture and humiliation, dragging him through the streets, parading his body that’s just twisted! Revenge may have been nice at the time but I wonder how they feel now?! Guilty I hope from what they’ve done. I’m glad Gaddhafi is dead but it could have been handled better
i can understand them killing him, he deserved the death penalty. but no one deserves a death like that. they have just lowered themselves to his level. i wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy.
I have to say I disagree. I don’t think his killers were evil. Gadaffi killed and tortured so many people, just because he wanted to. The people that killed him had every right to be angry at him and want him dead. Up until that day, they could have been kind, caring loving people. What they did was a bad thing (whether anyone agrees or disagrees with what they did, we should all realise that killing someone is a bad thing) but one bad thing doesn’t define whether someone is evil.
He was a monster and deserved what he got but e people who killed him can be just as bad x
he did deserve what he got xx
