it definitely has psychological effects … but then again … those who watch it for the fun of it (i am sure some people have gotten severely immune to the act) .. they no longer care … and the crime rate … it must take a sick man to go ahead and commit a crime that could lead him to capital punishment. so are saudis rearing a bunch of sickos? could be .. cuz if there are days with multiple executions in one go .. what does that say to you?
i also cant ignore the fact of how many innocent people die like this …
