Olho por olho... / An eye for an eye..


Olho, por olho, dente por dente.
(E da forma mais violenta e humilhante possível.)
Toda a gente sabe que não há melhor forma de recomeçar um país.

***

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
(And on the most violent and humillianting possible way.)
Everybody knows there's no better way of starting a country.

Some (rational) reactions:

FINNISH PRESIDENCY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
"The EU opposes capital punishment in all cases and under all circumstances and it should not be carried out in this case either. "

And, with (good) surprise, the Vatican's reaction:

CARDINAL RENATO MARTINO, HEAD OF THE VATICAN'S COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE
"For me, punishing a crime with another crime - which is what killing for vindication is - would mean that we are still at the point of demanding an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
