Sunday Smackdown - Witch Hunts Continue In The 21st Century

This is another example of a Smackdown writing itself. I was so flabbergasted when I read this headline "Woman labelled as witch, forced to eat burning coal" that it left me speechless and with a sick feeling in my stomach. Here is a snippet:

Jaipur, Aug 16 (IANS) In one more instance of a woman being branded a witch and tortured, an 85-year-old Dalit woman in Rajasthan was mercilessly beaten and forced to keep a burning coal in her mouth on the suspicion that she practised black magic.

Bali Bharu Doli was returning home to her village in Bhilwara district, about 250 km from here, when three members of a family attacked her. They alleged that she was torturing their family through black magic and forced her to eat burning coal.

Doli filed a police complaint Wednesday and two people have been arrested. The police are hunting for the third person in the group, an official from Bhilwara said.

I do not feel the need to say any more beyond that this is one of the most sick, and twisted things I've come across in regards to the "paranormal" in a long time, and I sincerely hope those that committed this vile act are duly punished under the maximum allowable by law.

Horrible as that is, there's some comfort in that it sounds like an isolated incident committed by one family. It's not like it was any government or church sponsored "official" trial.
