The year 1971, seems to be coming back into my life quite strongly over the past couple of days. After the article about the two girls who disappeared on a special day in 1971, here is something about an incident that occurred in the year 1971. The number 420 is a special code for Marijuana. Apparently, in the year 1971, four teenagers met at 4:20PM to search for a piece of land that grew Marijuana. They never found the plot but had a whale of a time smoking the weed. Since then the number 420 stuck to Marijuana. Seems silly but it has a reference to the year 1971.
In Iran, a man was convicted to death for a killing 7 years ago. The man was then 19 and had killed a 17 year old in a street fight. The man was brought to the gallows; there were a number of people waiting and watching. A few people started shouting "forgive him". The man and his family were in tears as the noose went round his neck. Suddenly, the victim's mother walked towards the man, slapped him and removed the noose. Everyone were stunned and many, including the police, started crying. Apparently, this was the finale of many rounds of negotiation. Quite touching and once again brings back the question of "is capital punishment necessary?"
