      Can you explain what vlog style is? I think I might know, but I would like to hear from you. I find that the people who talk really fast, excessively edit, and have a certain cadence style that's distracting not to mention, annoying is becoming increasingly common with vloggers. I wonder if there are any known critique videos of this, because I like the content, just not the delivery and maybe if it were known then people could refine their style. Who am I to tell them, though.

    Something else about Joe's case that I find heartbreaking is how much workers in the prison system begged for him to be spared. People tried to appeal to the highest possible power they could to get him taken off death row, some even begging tears, but nothing was done. I can only imagine how the workers who had to carry out his execution felt in that moment.

      I understand your conviction, but there are no crimes which carry a mandatory death sentence. Who gets put on death row is arbitrary, picked by the state. Such a penalty shouldn't be given out on a single judge's whim.
      The state should not have the power to execute it's own citizens.

      George stinny wasn’t proven innocent of the crime of murder. His posthumous exoneration was on a technicality. His conviction back then wasn’t up to the scrutiny of todays legal requirements for an execution but you can say that about any execution back then. He was exonerated for modern political reasons. Not because he was innocent.

    your video on donald crowhurst was probably the best video ive ever seen on youtube (and by extend one of the greatest pieces of film ever made), and this one might be even better, that first false execution story was just heart wrenching, and your delivery on it was what made it hit so much more
    also, you should bring back that messyish painterly style from the donald crowhurst video, its what sets you apart from basically every video ive ever seen on this website, anyway, thank you!

      wow, thank you! I really appreciate that -- especially considering I am the one who drew those pictures.
      I would absolutely love to do more videos in that style (and in time, I will). They are just enormously time-consuming. All of the illustrations are done with paint and ink on paper, by hand. Then, they need to be processed into a digital format. Putting out weekly videos in that style is basically impossible right now.

      @@frenchfry3867 this is absolutely a valid point; seems to be an issue with the criminal system globally; the idea that the benefit of a specific result is tied to career advancement; and that overall it resembles a corporation rather than a social service makes it seem pretty bleak. Until people in general understand that here in the US we have a for profit prison system; with some of them being listed on the stock exchanges; paying dividends and quarterly earnings, the monster is not only under the bed but he’s well fed. Pretty bleak. All that being said; the death penalty isn’t something I agree with; but it may be the one thing for me that I can’t say is black or white.

It's an incredibly powerful documentary that always comes to mind hearing of the death penalty.

    I’ve often wondered, what kind of ghoul takes that job. Dow’s daughter’s description of her dad I believe nails it. Dow finally did the right thing at the end, and he should have done that much earlier.

    The grief they feel reminds me of how the mental health of slaughter house workers is also overlooked when the job takes such a toll on them. Killing anything is so destructive to the human mind I feel because we have empathy.

    I know it's nice to think otherwise, but there are plenty of folks who would have absolutely no second thoughts (or thoughts at all) when performing their duties as executioner. I grew up spending my summers in the morgue and forensic investigation center. Saw plenty of murder investigations, and autopsies..... First hand before the age of 10.
    And while there are plenty of people who get their jollies hurting people... There are others who simply have no emotion.... positive or negative..... when it comes to taking life taking life. It is simply a chore that must be done.
    I know that sounds really weird and bizarre. And I wish it still felt that way to me. I don't know how people spend their lives doing forensic investigation.

    I am firmly against the death penalty. Not only do I view them as state-sanctioned murders, but I would rather 100 guilty men go free than a single innocent man be put to death. Finding evidence where there is none is the greatest failing of the justice system.

      @HorsesOnYT its funny because I wasn't even suggested that video I was suggested the unabomber video. I gotta say your thumbnails easily attract attention, and it looks like there's so much work you put into the storytelling of the videos and art I give the last 20 or so videos a 10/10. You can clearly see the improvement you've made over the last 3 years, and I have no doubt that you'll blow up fr. I also just have to touch on just how great your thumbnails are, though, because normally I check the viewer count on a video b4 I watch, but your thumbnails are so eye catching that I don't even think of looking at the viewer count and than the videos don't feel Monotonous or over drawn. Videos feel like a Ted Ed production video. Overall, I think this is a great channel, and as long as you don't go back into making water videos, this channel will blow on in no time!
