    Yea... quite speedy.

    Can't seem to justify a smile though.

    My official response:

    "Oh."

    Not quite sure why I used a smiley - think it was just a natural thing. Kinda awkward :).

    This was obviously a political hot potato that they wanted out of the way before the new year. And so it is done.

    Would be something different. It's not like it would be gory or anything.

    It is a man dying. I'm very glad they didn't show it. I don't even like the picture they have on the bbc news website at the moment.

    And to say 'it would be something different' is just one of the most bizarre things to say.

    Hanging is a prety horrible way to die

    It'll be out on the net soon enough anyway I reckon, for those who want to watch.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    It'll be on youtube anytime soon
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    How does it get out so quickly?

    Yeah I saw that online aswell. Really shocking.
    It was the screaming that got me, actually hearing a man screaming out in pain while his head was being cut off, you could hear his vocal chords being cut as he was screaming too...really quite disturbing.

    When I first saw it on my mates phone I thought it was a joke at first.

    From the BBC article it seemed that the excution itself was not recorded though. I have to say I was looking for footage of the execution itself too, just to convince myself it really happened.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    There is one of a pig having it's head chainsawed off? Has anyone seen that?

    I couldn't watch it, anything to do with animals dying i find hard to watch, humans, i'm not too bothered about unless it's a bit gory.

    Littlemissy, it wasn't a bizarre thing to say, as seeing someone hung is something different, you don't see it every day do you?

    Plus thousands of people used to watch people be hung for crimes they had commited.

    It was recorded to stop conspiracy theories apparently

    They said that it wasn't broadcast, which is different to it not being recorded. I expect that it was recorded, and will show up at some point. Recording executions is fairly common practice where they take place, so I doubt this would be an exception, especially in the light of the person being executed.

    I'd say the same, only substituting "weird" with "sick".
