The Suicide Bomber Auction in Saudi Arabia

I thought I've seen it all.

The video shows the father, Abu-Salah, attending the auction and offering his son
Khaled as a sacrifice (2nd son to "sacrifice" his life) .The father receives 1.5 million Riyals ($400,000) as future compensation for his son's demise in Syria. At one point in the
video, the father is elated at the high bids.

I guess it's a Private-value auction.

Its too bad no one told some of the guys flying the drones when and where this auction was or we could have done some wholesale pricing.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
 

So you can volunteer other people to become a suicide bomber? Why doesn't he get his retarded ass out there and blow up himself?

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
