#1 She said that [Chechen warlords] Maskhadov and Basayev were good people and at the end said that she had been a sniper with Chechen troops and taken out our boys...

Call me a heartless bastard, but given that Basayev was behind the Nord-Ost and Beslan massacres, I'm not sure I can blame the guy. It's really hard to come up with a more solid case of "she was asking for it". The brutality of the torture and murder argues against that, but, damn, I'm finding it hard to feel any pity for her.

#3 Maybe it would have helped if she had claimed her son was a Russian soldier who had been killed in the war, so everybody had to be sympathetic to her and listen to what she said. Like, "It's all Putin's fault!"

#4 The veteran then stripped the woman, shoved the fingers hed cut off into her vagina and slit the victims throat.

Come on RC, that's not like you. While I agree that supporting the murderers of Beslan make her an unsympathetic victim, this is murder, plain and simple.

#6 There is a low threshold for this kind of "humor" in Russia. My wife is from there, and mother-in-law lives there. You won't believe the kinds of stuff we don't hear about that goes on with the Chechen rabble. I am with RC.

#8 Real Russian joke:

Petka wakes up in the morning all black and blue. He can't understand what has happened. He asks Vasily Ivanovich what's the matter with him. Why he is all over in shiners.

Vasily Ivanovich:
-You drunk yesterday?
-Drunk.
-I was silent when you insulted me, but then you shitted in the corner, put some matches in this heap and said: "This hedgehog will live with us!" I couldn't stand any longer!!!

Certainly. But I can't bring myself to care. Doesn't mean Saunin shouldn't face justice; he should.

#10 But I can't bring myself to care.

can't argue with that. Too many truly sad stories in this world for hers to make the list.

#11 She was basically begging to get whacked for being a complete dumbass, true.....but no one deserves to get mutilated like that. Even my Russian sweetie agrees.

#12 Taking credit for anything remotely associated with Beslan should show up in the dictionary next to the first entry for "stupid." Did she die a brutal death? Yes. Should her murder be prosecuted? Yes. Was she incredibly stupid? Yes. Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.

#16 He could have chosen to sweep, highly offended, from the room - dramatically and with a well-aimed expletive.

He chose to torture and kill. Drunk women say the damnest things. Can't kill them all. god luv 'em.

Responsibility for choice of reaction. Leaving is always good when offended.
