| Description: |
This picture was taken by an American photographer Eddie Adams on 1 February 1968, 2nd days of Tet Offensive (during the Vietnam war). He earned a Pulitzer Prize for this shot in 1968-1969. He has died in New York at the age of 71.
In this picture, he saw South Vietnamese soldiers captured and brought a communist Vietcong prisoner to the South Vietnam police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan. Nguyen didn't say a word, shot the prisoner guy in the head and killed him on a street of Saigon.
Nguyen later on an interview said that the guy he executed was a vietcong captain and he responsibles for a murder of a family.
Nguyen was wearing peasant uniform.
We don't know if what Nguyen said is right or not but he was in a war. |

In the picture above, I went to a blogs.
Some people wrote that the police chief should died and killed too and that someone should drops two atomic bombs on his head.
Some wrote that the police chief did the right thing, he was in a war and he was doing his job. The prisoner is a bad guy, whow killed civilians.
Some made a joke that the gun that the chief held has no bullet, it is a scare tactic, to scare the prisoner. The police chief pulled the trigger of the gun, but there is no bullet flies out, so where the bullet go?
It's up to you and what you thinks.
