I don't agree with bringing back the death penalty, I do not however think whoever did this should spend a few hours in a dark room with someone creative and tougher than them.

Masked burglars beat a 73 year old grandmother into opening her safe, and beat her some more for trying to reach a panic button. When due to distress and shock she is unable to work the mechanism for the second safe they put her in a bath and waterboard her.

**Squigsquasher**

What. The. Feth.

That is disgusting.

What we need, is somebody with skills.

**MrDwhitey**

Absolutely disgusting.

Also, in before "Waterboarding is not torture".

Putting a pensioner through this, fething nasty.

The fethers who did this to her better hope the police get them before anyone else does.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Damn. Some people really deserve worse than death.

Good for the victim that she is alive. I just wonder why she didn't just give them the combination and see them gone. I'm sure there's more to it though.

To continue with the movie quotes:

I know who you are, and I know where you sleep, and I swear by all that I hold dear that your mothers will weep when they see the things I have done to you!

**sarpedons-right-hand**

This is simply shocking... I'm at a loss here. As someone who works with the elderly I find this senseless violence against them just turns my stomach.... String the fethers up by their balls, then garrotte them with piano wire.

That'll learn em.

**xole**

I hear unsavory British people like to use knives. If so, just have some unsavory creative individuals find them.

Oh, What fun they could have!

**CthuluIsSpy**

Its times like this, when I wish the likes of the Punisher, Judge Dredd or Midnighter existed.
If they did, those burglars would be fethed.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Get me some intel and buy me a plane ticket across the Pond. I already have a black Tshirt.

A mix of being 73 years old, surprised, threatened and tortured means that she was not thinking clearly. I can understand if she really was not able to open the safe under those conditions, besides they tortured her enough that I doubt she was holding out on them.

When Hitchens volunteered for waterboarding he only lasted a few seconds, these scum tortured her for hours. You think you could hold out?

Silver Lining: At least the Yanks haven't been completely wasting their time at Guantanamo, as it clearly gets results.

In all seriousness, I hope the powers that be throw the book at them. Over and over again.

Like, an ACTUAL book. 'Crime and Punishment' or something.

I heard War and Peace is quite hefty.

Try Les Miserables. Or better yet, Remembrance Of Things Past by Marcel Proust. That sucker is over 3,000 pages long.

Just paint the word 'Book' on the side of a brick and be done with it.

Now we are getting somewhere. Cinder blocks would make a good "book"

Put them in KKK uniforms and drop them in my old stomping grounds in Pomona. We could take care of them properly.

**Amaya**

Can we add gangster punks on the list of people deserving immediate execution?

**Duce**

Their scum and should be put to death slowly and painfully.

Pref with a group of people laughing at them and mocking them until the end

**Bran Dawri**

I'm not vindictive. I'd give them a nice sunny wall to stand in front of, and a cigarette.

...

And I'd make sure the firing squad all aim at a place that takes a long , painfull time to kill you. I hear stomach wounds are especially nasty.

**CuddlySquig**

Says here someone's been arrested

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/aug/08/arrest-burglary-waterboard-surrey

But why dwell on waterboarding? The whole boiling water thing seems a bit worse.

**kronk**

Put them away for a long time. fethers.

**mattyrm**

I think it probably isn't the burglars fault because they had a bad upbringing and were left out to dry by the state....

Not really, I think we should bludgeon them to death with a big spiky dildo.

Vote Conservative!

**hotsauceman1**

I say we dont kill them, We tie them up, put them with the old lady so they have listen to her stories, Look at her photo album, watch "The Price is Right" and "Golden Girls" with her.

**KingCracker**

Hotsauceman1, thats not funny at all.

It wasn't THAT bad.

**KingCracker**

No, I think dropping a frozen chicken on my foot a few years ago was funnier

**hotsauceman1**

I thought it was funny.

**KingCracker**

You have a little girls cartoon show for your avatar good sir. Your funny is not funny

**Albatross**

I must admit, I chuckled, but then I'm... Different.
