Ya know this is one of the most absurd things I have ever seen... To think that after hundreds of years we still have to go down this road.
It's hanged, not hung
As for the rest the punishment fits the crime.
It's not quite that cut-and-dried*—some of my reference books say hung isn't wrong, just less customary, when referring to past executions, and the Random House Unabridged Dictionary says that hung is becoming more common—but the majority of my books agree that the standard English past tense of hang is hanged when you

He/she was hung. They were hung. I was hung.

Would it be politically incorrect to say I'm glad these scumbags are being hung? Sorry, but I have no sympathy for these cowards. India has one of the worst rape cultures in the world, maybe this will send a message
four men who were convicted in the fatal gang-rape and torture of a 23-year-old medical student on a moving bus in the Indian capital nearly five years ago.
The court held that the nature of the crime, which triggered massive protests across India, made it a fit case for the death penalty. It described the assault as "most brutal, barbaric and diabolical,"
Must have been terrifying for the poor girl
Prosecutors said the four — Akshay Thakur, Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta and Mukesh — took their victim to the back of a private bus in New Delhi, raping her and then damaging her internal organs with an iron rod. She died two weeks later of injuries in a hospital in Singapore, where she was taken for treatment.
Ironically, you still got what was coming to you
Ram Singh, the bus driver and the fifth suspect in the crime, was found hanging in his cell in Tihar prison in March 2013, months before the suspects were convicted.
Probably why your rape culture is so bad
The sixth suspect was just months short of 18 years when the crime took place. He walked out of a correction home in December 2015 after spending three years — the maximum punishment for minors — sparking public outrage and an overhaul of the juvenile law.
Cultures of a third world
At least six rapes were taking place in the Indian capital every day, she said.
"Nothing much has changed because there is no fear among people that if they do something wrong, they will be punished,"
Without sounding too melodramatic, I wouldn't mind if they all went straight to hell too. Rapist's and pedos have got to be the lowest of the low and deserve whatever that comes their way. That is all.
