    Yeah but the guy who did it had to be taken out of the game immediately. He seemed quite confused.

    Iran has sentenced numerous people to be executed over the protests. Now they have carried out the first execution. A desperate regime clinging to power with no legitimacy with the large majority of the population.

    Iran has announced the first execution of a protester convicted over the recent anti-government unrest.

    Mohsen Shekari was hanged on Thursday morning after being found guilty by a Revolutionary Court of "moharebeh" (enmity against God), state media said.

    He was accused of being a "rioter" who blocked a main road in Tehran in September and wounded a member of a paramilitary force with a machete.

    An activist said he was convicted after a "show trial without any due process".

    "The international community must immediately and strongly react to this execution," Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights, said in a statement.

    "If Mohsen Shekari's execution is not met with serious consequences for the government, we will face mass execution of protesters," he added.

    In Florida, he would've been run over with the state's blessing. Weren't you in favor of doing that to his antifascist kin?
