Qaddafi on display in shopping center freezer
2011-10-22
With some fresh details of the Duck's Demise...
MISRATA, Libya: Muammar Qaddafi's blood-streaked body was on display in a commercial freezer
Sensible, these Libyans, the desert is hot even in October...
at a shopping center Friday as Libyan authorities argued about what to do with his remains and questions deepened over official accounts of the longtime dictator's death. New video emerged of his violent, chaotic last moments, showing fighters beating him as they drag him away.
For the first time in a while, a thug gets the same treatment he meted out to his people...
Was Ceaucescu the last one? His countrymen were a tad annoyed with him at the end, as I recall...
In Misrata, residents crowded into long lines to get a chance to view the body of Qaddafi, which was laid out on a mattress on the floor of an emptied-out vegetable and onions freezer at a local shopping center. The body had apparently been stowed in the freezer in an attempt to keep it fresh out of the public eye, but once the location was known, that intention was swept away in the overwhelming desire of residents to see the man they so deeply despised.
"Tickets! Getcher tickets! See the dead oppressor of da masses! Only five dinars!"
Men, women and children filed in to take their picture with the body.
"Smile, little Mahmoud!"
"Mom! He smells funny!"
The site's guards had even organized separate visiting hours for families and single men.
"You there! Get back in line!"
"Hah! The dictator's dead! Youse can't oppress me!"
[THUMP!]
"No, but that guy can!"
"Daddy! Oh, I'm so embarrassed!"
"We want to see the dog," some chanted.
"Who do we wanna see?
"We wanna see the Dead Schnauzer of North Africa!
"When do we wanna see him?
"We wanna see him now!
"Why do we wanna see him now?
"Because he'll be rotten by tomorrow!"
"Ahmed!"
"Yes, Effendi?"
"More ice for the dictator's bier!"
Qaddafi's 69-year-old body was stripped to the waist, his torso and arms streaked with dried blood. Bullet wounds in the chest, abdomen and left side of the head were visible.
Most definitely dead...
When the light shines right through like that they're dead."
The bloody siege of Misrata over the summer instilled a particularly virulent hatred of Qaddafi there -- a hatred now mixed with pride because he was captured and killed by fighters from the city.
"We dunnit!
"We dunnit!
"We really, really dunnit!
"Yay! Boo! Who's Number One?
"Mi-i-i-i-israta!""
New video posted on Facebook showed revolutionary fighters dragging a confused-looking Qaddafi up the hill to their vehicles after his capture and less than an hour before he was killed. The young men scream "Moammar, you dog!" as their former leader wipes at blood covering the left side of his head, neck and left shoulder.

Qaddafi gestures to the young men to be patient, and says "What's going on?" as he wipes fresh blood from his temple and glances at his palm. A young fighter later is shown carrying a boot and screaming, "This is Moammar's shoe! This is Moammar's shoe! Victory! Victory!"

#9  That sounds like that scene in Unforgiven when they displayed Morgan Freeman's character's dead body outside of a saloon. Is Clint Eastwood about to blast his way through Misrata?

#8  *Warning*
Eating raw or undercooked Qadaffy could cause illness or even batshit crazy.

#7  "The site's guards had even organized separate visiting hours for families and single men."

Separation of 'families' and 'single men' is the Wahabi euphemism for gender apartheid.

Gaddafi's successors can't be worse but they realistically might be as bad as the Duck.

#5  Are they selling him by the pound or by the ounce?

I'll take two pounds of hair and three inches of one leg.

You should rush right home and freeze that, he's been dead three days and he won't keep.

Poor Muammar's dead, he's looking oh so peaceful and serene, He looks like he's asleep, It's a shame that he won't keep, but it's summer and they're almost out of ice....Poooor Muammar

#3  The cheering was in Tripoli. The meat locker is in Misrata, the city that hated Gaddafi most.
