'Cut off hands': Mexican presidential candidate's plan to deter thieves"


"We have to cut off the hands of those who rob. It's that simple," said the 59-year-old, adding that

he would ask Congress to pass a law backing his idea.

Taken aback, the moderator Azucena Uresti twice asked him if he was speaking literally, before

checking again that he really meant what he had said.

"That's right. That's right," he replied.`

`Crime and corruption are top issues in the election campaign, with candidates under pressure to

offer a way to end massive public graft and lower the number of murders from historic highs.`


"It is not a bad thing, countries that have left corruption behind have done it," said Rodriguez,

without giving details. Saudi Arabia and Iran are among a handful of countries in the world that

permit amputation as a punishment.

It was not immediately clear if the punishment envisaged by Rodriguez would be limited to public

officials convicted of graft or apply to criminals generally."

But then, you have to take care of the losers, especially if they steal a second time. Put them in prison. Make room by executing greater offenders.
Again, just thinking out loud...

Has anybody checked his religion???
This is the punishment that Islam prescribes!
And what remedy is there if the victim is later found to be innocent?
Gonna come in mighty- handy- for the ruling junta to cripple its opposition.--Tyr

What? Saudi and Iran are hardly examples of ethical behavior.
