Thank Who For What?

I heard one person say,
"That man deserved to die for the horrible things he did to all those people, but they shouldn't have hanged him. That was cruel."

And another,
"He was beligerent at the end and his captors taunted him. I wonder who started it?"

One more,
"I heard they had to execute him before his birthday so he wouldn't be too old to die."

And still another,
"Now that he's dead, they'll make him a saint".

My tongue hurts. It really, really hurts.
