The guillotine was developed during a time when capital punishment was widely accepted, and execution methods were often cruel and inhumane. Compared to methods like burning at the stake, hanging, and drawing and quartering, the guillotine was seen as a more humane way to execute people

In South African townships necklacing is still a thing although not as prevalent. Since our police are not reliable and as South Africans we have a strong sense of community, whenever there's been a crime committed especially if it's atrocious the community will often best the criminal event to death in some occasions as form of mob justice

One note, for most Europeans Siberia was considered from Ural mountains till the end of Russia cause it was equally cold harsh and brutal. Everybody sent there already knew they will slowly die there...

Moral := If you ever time travel and go to the middle ages, ... either be literally invisible or avoid civilization at all costs, otherwise you may find yourself in trouble

7:19 It's not vigilante justice; it's vigilante brutality. There's no aspect of this torture that could be construed as justice

I'd argue the 40+ years for forced subservience to a paycheck just to be told "your SSI is empty and we own you for 20+ more" is the worst punishment.

I think Crucifixion existed well before Roman times. King David of Judea had the grandsons of former King Saul Crucified just so they wouldn't rise in rebellion against him.

The blood eagle is probably the most far fetched execution, as far as being successfully pulled off. In order to inhale, the chest has to form a partial vacuum, using the ribs, and diaphragm. So, once the ribs are separated from the spine, breathing would become extremely difficult, and might become impossible. If the diaphragm can still manage to pull enough air through the lungs, without the ribs properly working, once the lungs are pulled out of the chest, the victim would not be able to breath. The lungs would not be able to move, as the lungs have no muscles of their own. It's almost certain the victim would be dead, upon the creation of the blood eagle, or be dead within a minute of the lungs being separated from the diaphragm.

The second samurai was usually a friend of the condemned there to perform a mercy killing after he had "proved himself" with the self disemboweling.

As an aspiring writer coming up with a fantasy series, these types of punishment videos is giving me loads of ideas for punishments in my world.

North korea for not letting the people leave

I like how the guard at 6:11 was holding a German broom stick Mauser and not a Soviet mackarov

Everyone acts like samurais did seppuku for honour but really it was to avoid the torture. Learn something new every day 😂

As a child I lived in Italy. I went on a field trip to the “museum of torture” in middle school. You should look it up in Italy. Very cool.

The blood eagle would have been a quick death compared to most. With the lungs outside of the body, the diaphragm would be unable to create negative pressure in the chest cavity to inflate them. The victim would die (somewhat) quickly of suffocation.

Death by guillotine wasnt as fast tho... The guillotines were often blunt, so sometimes it took several tries until it finally cut off the victims head.
