6. Muammar Gaddafi
When you are a dictator who has ruled his country for 42 years with an iron fist, constantly abusing human rights, causing poverty and death to your citizens (including the massacre of over 1200 people on one occasion, it should come as little surprise that your people aren’t exactly fond of you and that they may uprise against you. And that if they get their hands on you, mercy would be the last thing they would consider.
During the Libyan Civil War of 2011, Muammar Gaddafi – Libya’s long time ruler – got ousted and tried to flee along with his cronies. His convoy got bombed and he took refuge in a drainage pipe. Shortly afterwards, he was found by anti-regime rebels. Captured and fearing for his life, the once untouchable colonel knelt before his capturers and cried for his life and safety. It was to no avail, as the fighters humiliated and abused him, which included: spitting him, hitting him, dragging him around by his hair or even sodomizing him with a gun. Some tried to take him out of the angry mob in order to have him convicted, but somewhere along the way he died. Apparently, he succumbed to his wounds, one of which was possibly inflicted by someone shooting him with his very own golden 9mm pistol.
