China executes 28 in single day Just for some perspective on a day when there is so much hype over *one* American execution...
Swift justice. Nothing beats it.

Well, shit, Hitler killed 6 million, so anything short of that must be OK, right? Since when is China our benchmark for human rights?

So that makes the US, what, 1/28th as barbaric as China? Well, wait, they have, like, three times our population, so we're closer to 1/7th, I guess. But then, I don't know if anyone else was executed in the US today.

If you were to read the list of crimes the people who were executed committed, I doubt you'd have any trouble seeing why the Chinese government didn't see them worth rehabilitation...
"Three of the men committed 17 taxi robberies, killing 15 taxi drivers and stealing several thousand yuan (several hundred dollars).
During a five-day period from February 13 to 18, they killed four taxi drivers, the report said.
Another gang of four men committed 10 robberies last year, all targetting women. They killed nine of the women and stole several tens of thousands of yuan, the report said."

The crackdown has also resulted in ethnic Muslim separatists and Tibetan political prisoners being executed
Hey, become an ethnic Muslim separatist, you forfeit your rights as a human being!
Isn't that the argument?
