If I was the photographer I wouldn’t hang around that spot too long
He may well be deserving of it for what he did, but that is a grim thought & image, sends a shiver through you.

Probably recruited as a child. Forced to commit attrocities to wipe away his humanity. Executed because he became the monster they created. The world is a sad place.

I have complex positions when it comes to capital punishment.
Looting is not a capital offence.
Accused is wrong. There needs to be bona fide evidence and conviction with every opportunity for appeal.
