I'm very familiar with the upright jerker, the sideways jerker, the one handed jerker, the two handed jerker. Hell I've experienced just about every jerker you could imagine! And they're all good!
North American Natives were known to skin a condemned man alive! It was possible for a man to live through the entire process! I don't find hanging to be very brutal.
Where as the white man had very few qualms about supplying blankets infested with pox to men women and children on the reservation. Brutality takes many forms and across many races. Still does.
The trouble with any form of punishment is that it assumes that everyone subjected to it is guilty. Sadly no system of justice can 100% ensure that an innocent person is never declared guilty. Even with modern forensics, we still condemn innocent people. Terrible to think how many throughout history have been tortured or executed due to an incorrect verdict on their guilt.
Apparently, Spandau Ballet ( like the 80s band) was a sick take on the leg kicking of those hung with piano wire in Spadau Prison, specifically those involved with Hitlers assassination attempt.
The photo used at 2:42 and 3:17 was not the execution of Blackjack Ketchum. It's a photo taken in a Washington DC military installation near the Capitol Building just before the execution by hanging of the other conspirators who plotted with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln in 1865. They were hung in a traditional way, seated in chairs, hooded, and then a single platform holding them up was released so they'd all drop simultaneously. I read though that at least one of the conspirators took over five minutes to die after the drop. You can see the line of Union Army soldiers along the top of the wall. FYI: I've read that physiologists say the guillotine is the most humane method of execution. Quick and painless, they say.
Everyone goes on about Woods botching hangings. I strongly suspect, considering who he was hanging, that they went just exactly how he wanted them to go.
I thought this form of execution was called a Julian Gallows, i've never heard the term upright jerker for a spring or counterweight pulley that draws you up by the noose rather than a drop.
The Julian Gallows had a trap door that the weight of the condemned man triggered a water system that would eventually trip the trap. It was used only in Wyoming and eventually outlawed as it was forcing the subject to, essentially, commit suicide. Also, it could be slow. One hanging reportedly took 30 minutes after the subject started the water flow before the trap sprung. Can't imagine waiting like that.
@@dettisyo yep, the winning side never pays the price. The Russians started on the wrong side and ended on the " good" side and have a lot to explain.

I remember seeing a movie in which a couple of people were killed using the jerker. It was surprising and I wondered if that was simply a fictitious method used in tht film. Does anybody know of a movie like that?
Out takes from silly video games between vids, youtube is really pushing it!!!! TH-cam is on it's way out. Just a matter of time before enough people get fed up with these mindles ads.
I got fed up with ads and paying the monthly fee. I sold out for sure, but I must say, TH-cam is a beautiful thing with no ads AND the ability to turn off your phone’s screen while listening to vids at work. I cancelled Netflix and just threw that extra bread at TH-cam. Made life so much easier. Plus, my old lady left me for not spending more money on her, which has turned out to be the second best thing to happen in my life. Now its nothing but hookers, mountains of the finest Colombian blow to ever powder a nostril, and zero ads on TH-cam. To quote the late, great Della Reese-“Praise GOD from Whom ALL blessings flow!”
18 hundreds and 19 hundreds, normally written as "1800s and 1900s", means the entirety of the 19th and the 20th centuries respectively. I have never heard those terms used to mean anything else. 1800-1810 is the first decade of the 1800s.
@@stephencresswell4760I have done my searches which show that "the 1800s" is most widely used to describe the period 1801-1899 which can be divided into the early 1800s, the mid-1800s and the late 1800s. Queen Victoria (1819-1901) reigned in the mid to late-1800s. The"eighteen hundreds" are all years which begin "eighteen hundred ..." e.g. "eighteen hundred and forty eight". It *can* also be used to mean 1800-1810 but only if the context makes it very clear that a decade is being referred to and not a century e.g. 1790s *1800s* 1810s 1820s etc. I doubt that anyone using the term "the late 1800s" without such context is referring to the years in and around 1807-10. They are almost certainly meaning the period 1870-1899. In our current century, you may well hear people saying "the 2000s" to mean 2000-2010 (which we also playfully call the "noughties") because we have the context of not being far into it: that usage may well change as the years advance over the next fifty years so it becomes consistent with the usage for earlier centuries.
@@stephencresswell4760Well, thankfully, I have most English speakers on my side (in particular, the ones in the UK) so am more likely to be correctly understood.
Now in the 21st century one of the cruelest forms of punishment is listening to the monotone voice of a narrator that reads from a script.
And also that all the titles are The most BRUTAL.
Totally agree. Can’t bear to watch these posts as this guy puts me on edge
Title of the channel should be changed to 'MOST BRUTAL...IN A MONOTONE"
Do your own videos so we can criticize your voice.

It's quicker and never misses!
I hate it when the hangman botches the execution. It is so unprofessional.
Everyone goes on about Woods botching hangings. I strongly suspect, considering who he was hanging, that they went just exactly how he wanted them to go.
Connecticut went from this method to the electric chair. I once saw their original chair when it was exhibited in the late 60s.
Was it comfy?
Man's brutality to man.
That‘s a little bit too broad. Who‘s to whom? Criminal to victim or justice to criminal? I do hope that you do make a difference?
Nazi brutality to Jews.
I'm imagining a trebuchet effect. Boing! He's trying to escape!
Speed up the streaming speed to make it sound better.
Apparently, TH-cam didn't offer tutorials in the 19th Century on the construction of the hangman's noose.
Hard to empathize with the condemned given their heinous pasts.
It should be even harder to sympathize.
Roger that.

Method never really clearly explained.
My goodness, the Monty Pythoner had Graham Chapman's namesake.
the us executioner botched the hangings intentionally to make the Nazi suffer he bragged about it later
So he became a war criminal himself too. But, as a yank never had to face the music
Fair enough

This must be amongst the most brutal, beacuse the usual trolls have not yet complained about the title.

Indeed, the videos are good, but the voice of the speaker is absolutely terrible to listen to.

In some instances the condemned requested firing squad but were denied it.
Gallows are reusable.
