Out of Control

Three Iraqi tennis players were pulled out of their car and shot dead just for wearing shorts. Yahoo! News says

A witness, who asked not to be named, said the shorts-clad tennis players had just left some laundry at the cleaners, when gunmen stopped their car and asked them to step out of the vehicle.

When two did so they were shot in the head. The third was then dragged from the car, thrown on the bodies of his teammates, and shot as he lay on the ground.

The gunmen then kicked the corpses before stealing the car and making their escape, the witness said Friday.

He added that fundamentalists had been distributing leaflets recently warning residents of the area not to wear shorts.

Things are out of control, man. This is absolutely ridiculous.
