1. Tell that to all those killed, raped and brutalized
under his orders.

While it is wrong to celebrate death, Gaddafi is now in Hell with people like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and Kim Il Sung.

3. Oh.
Well my bad. I thought you were another one of those Gaddafi apologists I've seen around lately. You know, decrying their "dear leader"'s "imperialist" execution like his "friend" Hugo Chavez.

6. The site you linked to pretty much cleared up the facts.
There are missing details, but it's pretty clear what happened.

32. given that what he was, he and no one else should be surprised
how he died. Same with Ceaucescu in Romania. They did what they did to them and its their situation.

The one who surprised me was Saddam. He went out standing up like a man. These guys, these bullies died like the whiners they were.

And I hate this sort of stuff.

7. You can't really blame them too much
because that old man's pride kept a mercenary war against his own people going for months when it should have been over in a few days. I hate the DP, but I understand the rage that caused his immediate execution.

I knew when it began that it would probably end only when he was dead. He might have gotten his family out of the country, but there is no way his spiteful arrogance would ever let him leave.

Mass murderers always look clean and sympathetic when they're in the dock.

9. I figured he would die in one of his custom made, haute couture get-ups.
But, it looks like he can now be called the unfashionably late Moammar Gadhafi.

15. Dying in one of those hideous getups would have been the ultimate embarrassment
he should be thankful that he was wearing what he did...

10. Looks like the Daily Mail has been building that site for awhile
So much information on one page!

Almost like it's been expected.

19. The chain of events.
NTC is saying it is being conducted as we type. They want to end all speculation that he was executed by the thuwar.

17. Horribly, But This Tends To Be The Result Of Being a Brutal Dictator
Gadhafi was a bad person. An evil person. He should have been captured and put on trial for his crimes. He got shot in the chest instead. Tends to be what happens to dictators that lose control.

He died the way he promised he would kill every last child.

23. Oh well. Sure many that Gadhafi killed summarily did the same thing.
Bastards never think they ever wronged anyone, ever.

24. i do wonder about the "suspected Gadaffi loyalists" who were also executed
Sure, revolutions do tend to get this way, but I still have serious concerns about the lack of due process, or really any process at all.

25. Where does it show how he was executed?
Read a little about Daily Mail

"A 16 October 2009 Jan Moir article on the death of Stephen Gately,<59> which many people felt was inaccurate, insensitive, and homophobic, generated over 25,000 complaints, the highest number of complaints for a newspaper article in the history of the Press Complaints Commission.<60><61> Major advertisers such as Marks and Spencer responded to the criticism by asking for their own adverts to be removed from the Mail Online webpage around Moir's article. The Daily Mail removed all display ads from the webpage with the Gately column.<62>"

30. The bullet hole in his head would seem to be
a likely cause. There's a clear photo of it.

The result of execution is death.

Edit, and the kid who said he shot Gaddafi said he shot him in the stomach.

27. Well a few things from the stills
1.- He seems to have been bleeding from ear...that be consistent with explosion and ruptured eardrum. (This could also translate into internal bleeding)

2.- At no time we saw execution...which it's common in these cases.

That is what we can tell from these...and I am sure some are enhancing these...choppy as heck.

Live by sword....as long as none did inside an ambulance. Of course with armed fighters that's academic.

29. He should have headed out of the country
a long time ago if he wanted to save his skin. This became inevitable when he didn't do so. And he died like the dog he was. Karma is a tough mistress.

35. That was clearly his adoring crowds rescuing him after being bombed by brutal imperialists
He must have died later from his injuries sustained in the genocidal NATO attack, despite the best efforts of his people to save him.

At one time the late dictator could have swung a deal that would have put him in Venezuela with his billions of dollars and one of his....ahem....bodyguards on each arm.
