#1 The past tense would be "Two Pakistanis hung." Just doesn't sound right. On the other hand it does sound just right or right just.

#2 I think the regular and irregular forms are allowed to be aesthetic choices for the rhetorical, artistic or aural pleasure of the writer, John. Sort of like flammable or inflammable, both of which mean, "Watch out, it'll burn right quick if you keep doing that!"
