Crime is crime, law is law and pain is pain...no matter where in the world you may be. If someone is condemned to death, may as well make it quick. Having a rat burrow through your guts or being sewn into a horse...geez. But it's probably no different than anyone here taking a boring job and adding some flair..."let's put grease in his pockets" or "let's piss in the coffee and see what happens". Once you've detached yourself from exactly what your doing, than it's just another day on the job. I'm not trying to defend what they do in other parts of the world, but if thats what normal means to them...
