Fired workers burn Indian executive to death

BHUBANESHWAR, India—Indian police say an angry mob of fired workers have burned to death a senior executive of a steel factory.

Senior police officer Ajay Kumar Sarangi says about a dozen workers attacked Radhey Shyam Roy on Thursday after learning they were laid off. Two men have been detained.

Sarangi said Friday the mob doused Roy's jeep with gasoline and set it on fire as he came out of the factory in Bolangir district in eastern Orissa state.

Sarangi said the executive was blocked from fleeing the burning vehicle. He later died of severe burns.


Can it happen here? Well, I can dream, can't I?

2. I don't think we should kill any of the wall street people
but a few kicks to the groin and all their money taken away is what they deserve.

8. We should send them to India
They sent all the jobs there so maybe they should join them.

10. A new type of renditioning...
Could be considered poetic justice.

3. A place I worked, the adjoining mfg closed, stiffing the illegal aliens
They surrounded the owners when they came back to get stuff, and threat3ened to kill them if not paid. Cops had to escort the crooked fucks out. Americans wouldnt do that.

11. advocating any kind of violence is wrong, and just
gives more fuel to the righties - ok, having said that, i hope corp america realizes they have pushed us down so far, that there really isn't any farther to go. Destroying the middle class, depressing wages, ignoring the exorbitant health care costs....

Most of the new jobs pay $10.00 an hour or less, no chance of joining a union, no way to save, education costs are way to high,

blaming teachers, firefighters and cops for the troubles they caused, just because they want more

letting wall street rob us blind, we bail them out, they give themselves bonus's

never ending wars that are bankrupting the country.

The greed of the CEO's is a bottomless pit, and eventually, it will come back to them. Profits have never been so high, and taxes so low, but yet they want more from us.

12. I'm all for whatever has the most impactive impression on these crooks.
If they cannot learn without such vigorous examples then that is the way it must be. I'm not worried about fuel for the Reich, they can go and go on nothing but greed, hatred of other, and corporate money for decades.

No way we can catch the right on funding or propaganda so we better be at least as relentless and strident as they are or more.
