I completely agree, it all seems a little suspect so far. I guess time will tell.

PARANOID TIMES


Have you actually watched this flick?

It's suspect to say the least.

Dodgy filming, and what was that around SHs neck BEFORE the noose was put on? You never, as far as I can see, actually see him hanging, kicking and shitting himself. At the end is he hanging or is he on the floor, I can't tell.

If this is such an historic event why ain't it been filmed better? I want to see the body.

If someone is hung correctly it should snap their neck and kill them immediately.

I don't know the technicalities of how someone dies when they are hung, but I still think that video is of insufficient quality to catergorically prove he is dead.

We can live in hope I suppose.

He's dead. A fall of that height would have damn near decapitated him considering his rough body mass.

Hanging, if done right, snaps the neck and severs the spinal cord from the base of the brain - there is no way on earth he could have possibly survived that and, based on the lack of any struggling, it was instantaneous.

Yeah it's not like Robin Hood Price of Thieves where he's dangling for ages, although it might be, it's not if it's done "right". Not that I agree with it anyway.

 

Oh and yeah I meant hanged, not hung, obviously.

Hardly an expert, no, but I have heard that somewhere and it sounds about right.

 

It seems that it would depend on what method was used and it didn't seem like a long drop so based on

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging

 

I would have to wonder how effective it would be.

 

I reiterate that I am not in favour of using the death penalty anyway.

Isn't the reason the guilotine (sp) was invented because hanging is not quick and painless and was reserved, in France, for the poor, the rich being beheaded by axe instead.

quote:
The device derives its name from Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, a French doctor and member of the Revolutionary National Assembly, on whose suggestion it was introduced. Dr. Guillotin proposed the use of a mechanical device to carry out the death penalty. The basis for his recommendation is believed to have been his perception that it was a humane form of execution, contrasting with the methods used in pre-revolutionary, ancien régime (old regime) France. In France, before the guillotine, members of the nobility were beheaded with a sword or axe, while commoners were usually hanged, or more gruesome methods of executions were used (the wheel, burning at the stake, etc.). In the case of decapitation, it sometimes took repeated blows to sever the head completely. The condemned or the family of the condemned would sometimes pay the executioner to ensure that the blade was sharp in order to provide for a quick and relatively painless death. The guillotine was thus perceived to deliver an immediate death without risk of misses. Furthermore, having only one method of execution was seen as an expression of equality among citizens. The guillotine was adopted as the official means of execution on 20 March 1792. The guillotine was from then on the only legal execution method in France until the abolition of the death penalty in 1981, apart from certain crimes against the security of the state, which entailed execution by firing squad.


So I guess you're right, although it doesn't say much about hanging. I still say though that if it's done according to the book then hanging should be near instantaneous.

Although it also says it's considered the most humane form of capital punishment by medical people. Although that's a bit like being the best if the worst.
