@Sara Bunting Last PUBLIC execution. Last execution was in 1977. Also the execution in 1939 was filmed from a window in an apartment, not in the crowd so the authorities didn't see it. You can find a video of it on youtube if you look up the guy's name.
Did you hear the one about the guy being led to the woods to be executed? It was a miserable rainy day. The condemned complained, "What a horrible day to be have to die!" The executioner calmly replied, "What are you complaining about? I'm the one who has to walk back to the castle in this lousy weather."
I cant imagine the fear that comes knowing youre about to die. Imagine lying down under the guillotine and just waiting for it to drop while simultaneously counting and soaking up the last few seconds of your life while trying to squeeze in a prayer?? Too scary!
Most, although not all were murderers themselves. Scary serial and baby killers don't even think of their own horrific acts yet they sob knowing they will be killed. Convincted killers rarely face the death penalty anymore. Yet victims of murder face it every minute of every day.
@Cassie Jones Not during the reign of terror. During that time, the jakobins had anyone sent to the guillotine. You could be sent there for stealing bread, speaking sympathetically towards the royal family, anything the jakobins saw as “not inline with the values of the revolution”. Thousands of people, who weren’t even criminals, or only minor criminals, were sent to die by guillotine. It was a brutal time for the people of france.
My Namo this is just another one of those fake education channels like Bright Side or The Richest, but the execution was filmed and someone posted it on youtube
I was hoping this history would mention that the inventor of the guillotine ended up being a victim himself. Also, I believe that filthy creature Robespierre was beheaded facing the blade, if I remember correctly.
We give ANIMALS the G ever single second of every day. That's not even the worst part in factory-farms (videos online as "farm to fridge" or glass walls that drugged, mutilated (debeak, tail-ear dock, brand, castrated, forcebred, drugged, caged) that Slaughter is far from the worst part but lifelong suffering
The guy that played Saruman (Christopher Lee) in Lord of the rings was actually present at Weidman's execution. He was 17 at the time and said when the blade came down, he himself felt like he just died
Now that I think of it, he probably got a very good view of it too, considering he stood at 6'4" tall, which is way above the average height for an adult male at the time.
Oh, I'm sure the executioner will have never heard that one before. Go over about as well as saying to a customs officer, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
@martynw9166 The last ax execution in Germany happened in 1935. In the hands of a skilled executioner it was very quick and efficient. But then unlike the axqq in the Tower of London, German execution ax or richtbeil was designed for the purpose. It had a short haft, the head had a broad cutting edge and weighed about 12 pounds. It was raised to shoulder height and the weight of the falling blade provided sufficient momentum to carry out the execution cleanly. Witness descriptions of ax executions state that from the moment the victim was handed over to the executioner and his assistants everything happened very quickly. I doubt you'd have been anxious for long.
Dr. Guillotine presented his new "machine" to the King, Louis XVI the year the revolution started, just months before it began. If memory serves, the King rejected his idea because the guild of executioners didn't like it. They thought it was too easy and would diminish their professional skills. And they weren't wrong. Once it went into operation at the height of the revolution, it proved that almost anyone could be an executioner.
The device you're referring to is the breaking wheel, not the guillotine. Dr Guillotine wasn't the inventor, he was the one who proposed the executions should be more humane (meaning as painless as possible). In fact he didn't even like the mechanism was named after him and (unsuccessfully) tried to rename it. He was member of the committee that researched such matters and advisor to the National Assembly when the French Revolution started. The guillotine was designed during Louis XVI's time, however, and ironically he was the one who proposed the blade should be oblique. It was based on other European decapitation devices, and designed mainly by Antoine Louis (also physician and member of the committee), German engineer Tobias Schmidt, and the executioner Sanson who later wrote a memoir. The first (French) guillotine was used during the French Revolution, so Louis XVI wouldn't have been able to have a say.
If the criminal had had the empathy you're looking for he might not have committed the crime...and wouldn't be there, and neither would the old ladies knitting...
Scribbe Boy You are correct. It was the equivalent of the Salem Witch Trials where you could lie about your neighbor talking bad about the newly formed French Republic and that person would be arrested, pushed through a sham trial, and be decapitated. Since the United States had just gained independence at the time and the French Revolution did this. The reputation of Democracy and its ideals like that of Liberty and everything else the United States declared at the time. Many of the monarchies that surrounded France at the time and their subjects were disgusted with how Evil and savage the Revolution was and actually all quarantined the ideology of Democracy and attacked France all at once which Napoleon fought back which made him gain power and led to a Napoleon led France later on. I left out MANY MANY details and events but it’s quite SICKENING AND SAD how the Revolution for freedom turned into a literal dictatorship(The Reign of Terror it was called) and how many people were publicly executed because the Revolution must of had an execution fetish.
Janey Wilcox Was there mentioned in the video a group of men nonchalantly knitting while attending executions? No. If there had been I'd find it equally cold and creepy.
"So lemme get this straight, you won't kill me until I say my final words?" "Uh, I guess?" *clears throat* "Well then allow me to recount my whole life's story! It all began..."
DDinVT I don’t believe that’s technically a pun, a pun is making joke about a word that can mean two different things. I’d say it’s more of a play on words or innuendo.
Holy smokes! What is this, crap on DDinVT week? Just kidding. I was honestly not aware of the exact definition of pun, just it’s common use (or misuse). But, if you really want to point fingers here.... the Weird History Guy misused it 1st! I was just following his lead.... it’s ALL his fault!
It's true really. The head isn't very heavy. It would fall quite gently, and without much noise. It's what happens before it falls that is far from gentle.
"Was the guillotine humane?" As opposed to having your head hacked off by a sword, it was certainly a lot more efficient and quicker, considering that beheadings by sword or axe oftentimes would require multiple strikes to cleave the head from the condemned
Karl Smith actually they used a axe before the guillotine. Anne Boleyn was executed via a sword as it was a quicker death with one stroke of the sword vs the possible multiple hackings from a axe
In some countries stone throwing is still a way to publicly execute people. So, compared to having hundreds of rocks on you until you die, yes I think that is humane
@@haileyirene4713 True, but then again, in Anne Boleyn's case, the executioner was a master swordsman there were swordsman that served as the executioner that weren't as skilled
The scimitars used in the beheading in the Middle East don’t seem to have any trouble. Don’t recommend people looking it up, but it clearly was very efficient with a sword as long as it’s sharp. Edit: I mean the ones done by Saudi officials, rather than terrorists with journalists.
Executioner: Any last words? Me: **Ahem** Mr- and Mrs. Dursley, of number 4, were proud to say that they were prefectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last People you'd expect to be involved in- Executioner: What are you doing? Some random dude in the crowd: No wait let him finish!
Potterheads (including me) would say all the book first THEN also narrate the movie. Since the movie is about 19 hours long and the book would be a day long to read. big brain

Somewhat unrelated question: Did the lights really DIM at Sing Sing when Julie & Ethel Rosenberg (...."burg"?) "rode the lightening"? The execution was "late in the day"?
French people during WW2: Oh, please dont hurt me Mr. German sir French people at an execution: YES! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!! STICK HIS HEAD ON A PIKE AND URINATE DOWN HIS ASOPHAGES!
I was told that a condemned person agreed to be a guinea pig of sorts. A doctor in this era was curious as to whether this beheading caused instantaneous death and if not whether the condemned retained any consciousness and for how long. They devised a code where the beheaded person would blink in a certain sequence until they actually died with the doctor immediately holding the head up and observing it. Apparently the condemned person retained consciousness for a short while before actually dying. I forget how long they actually lived, but it was for a short time. I imagine there life would be flashing through their mind and hopefully getting right with their creator.
Narrator: "The sawdust was there to soak up anything." Me: You mean blood? Narrator: "The rest was rolled into a cheap coffin." Me: You mean the body?!
Very odd and unnecessarily non specific choice of words he used. Like he can't say the word blood...or body...but he's talking about people geting decapitated by a guillotine. 😕
@@thelonelyipad8648 Aside from what’s already been mentioned - Marie not having any actual governmental power (aside from needing to pop out an heir) - she was actually very generous. She gave over $300k of her own personal allowance to various charities, financially supported numerous poor families, she established a home for women, she adopted 3 poor kids to be raised with her own, she had cottages built at Trianon so she could move poor families into them, she sold off royal silverware in order to purchase grain for poor families, she even had the royals eat cheaper grain so there was more for everyone else... She even designed a cheap, white dress for herself, because she didn’t like dressing up so fancily all the time, and she was still criticized for it. From day one, the French hated her and treated her terribly, using her as a scapegoat for everything that was wrong with pre-revolutionary France. Granted she’s not absolved from all responsibility, the idea that you can ignore so much truth and chalk her existence up to an implication of complete conceitedness is wild.
@ran ran That's not entirely accurate, both she and the king were well aware of the starvation of the people. She herself was somewhat ambivalent, however the King actually did care. Louis XVI was actually very sympathetic (he was a strong believer in the values of the enlightenment), but his power was heavily restrained by an aristocracy that didn't want to lose power. It's a common mistake to think that kings had unlimited power, but no person rules alone and even your average king has to compete with the nobility for authority. Anyway, my point is that it wouldn't have made a difference even if she was the most compassionate person in human history and had the king wrapped around her finger, nothing would change.
@@jasminejustice8129 Lots of wealthy people in the modern day donate money to charity, it's as much of a fashion statement as anything. In the modern day it's good because it's seen as a wealthy person portraying themselves as caring about causes, in Marie Antionette's day it was a show of Christian piety. My point is, she probably did some good, but it doesn't necessarily reflect her true character (we just don't know her motives enough to say that). I can imagine that being foreign didn't always make her popular, but you can't deny that despite her contributions her overall attitude towards the struggle of the poor (from some of the things she said) made her seem ambivalent at best. Not saying she was necessarily as evil as history likes to portray her, just that she was a woman who probably reflected the popular attitudes of her era and class. Which is to say that she was likely a lot less charitable and compassionate towards the poor than she needed to be, especially considering the volatility of those times.
Fun Fact: Sometimes a Executioner would face the head of the victim towards his/her own body after the deed was done so they can see their own bodies for 10 seconds before the head died as well.
I was playing Assassin's Creed: Unity, set during the French Revolution, and in-game there's a place in Paris that has a guillotine where they beheaded an NPC. Even just watching the virtual simulation was stomach turning. Couldn't imagine witnessing it in real life.
Are we not going to talk about the fact that Louis xvi was the one who invented the blade being on an angle making the cut cleaner? The blade was originally straight and Louis changed that which ironically made his death better later in life
He suggested the idea after banning the wheel. It was the Jacobins that used it since they thought it was more humane. That wasn't the method of capital punishment under the crown
We still must be pretty bored. It's still one of our favorite forms of entertainment. The movie industry is built on violence for the most part. Sure people arent really dying, but still death attracts us.
7:44 ok the fact that "the head seemed to be aware of the situation" really creeped me out ngl, the person was conscious and showed signs of being still alive
Those that watch MMA fights and all that aren’t much different. Watching people get half beat to death, sometimes actually dying like the dude recently. Watched that video cuz I was curious how the people reacted to seeing it and most didn’t get that he was in serious trouble. The barbaric acts like that are still thriving today
I’ve worked as a nurse in palliative care, and sometimes encountering death makes me vomit too. It’s like the presence of the spirit of death brushing past you makes you physically sick.
I could never work in a hospital, if I saw a bad bloody injury I would pass out and if someone died I’d have the same reaction as you, just puke my guts out
Starlight Barking you can easily acclimatise to all patterns of hauntings. Remember this, if you have previously shown respect and care to patients before their time of death, they will in spirit return you favours like protecting you. Therefore, you have nothing to fear or worry, that is, if you are a good person, a prayerful type. If you ever feel wind blasts inside hospital rooms, that is nothing for you to worry about. When a person dies and its soul makes wind blast inside room, just let go of your fear. That is just a soul leaving from one plane to another. It is soul projection or channel crossing. Stay in hospital and continue working as a nurse. When you sense shadows flitting from corner to corner of places, stop your worrying and pray for self-protection. Souls who flit in high speed cast shadows in air. It is really nothing to worry, if they are mild souls. Let them haunt in peace. When you find wandering souls or mild poltergeists, just always pray for God's mercy upon their souls. There are many broken souls who need nice prayers, not exorcism. When you pray for them, not against them, they will return you favours, their way of showing their gratitude. I live in haunted home with clandestine hauntings by mostly family ghosts and a spirit protector. I also work in a haunted workplace. Honestly, I feel 10000 times safer there than be alone with living dangerous people like stalkers, rapists, murderers, terrorists, etc. At home and work, I sometimes pick up somethings of hauntings. I always relax when the air is calm and serene, the air light and happy. When something is unsettling the air, it means I have an intruder in the proximity and my guardian makes winds inside rooms and through corridors and stairs. He removes all dangers from my path. He throws hardened criminals off their balance and sends them fleeing in fright. That spirit ensures my safety. He has previously saved my life over 20 times and responded to many emergencies like few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. He even once surprised a woman surgeon and nurses in a theatre where I was brought in for a vaginal cyst removal. He gave her confidence and guided her scalpel. The surgery went smoothly, while spirit eased my blood circulation during surgery. The surgeon extracted an enormous amount of cyst fats that was roughly 1000ml. After surgery, I awoke free of pain, no pains in the stitches. That surprised the staff. Over the next two weeks, I had still no pains and no infections appeared in the stitched area.
Valiantcat7780 I have witnessed few deaths in a local hospital. My late father died in peace. He was given morphine or relaxant and that helped reduce his fear of death. He had an easy death which wasn't painful or traumatic. I know what it is like to die, as I had NDE or Shared Death Experience. Today, my father's spirit haunts my workplace that was his in former life. I never think of my father as dead, as his spirit lives.
I've been in 3 situations (nursing homes) when a relative has died. Most recent, my wife's grandmother. When she died, lying in bed, my father-in-law holding her hand... I said, "she's no longer with us." My wife went to get a nurse, looked for a pulse, checked her (lack of) breathing... pronounced dead within a minute after I knew. It was freaky, cause I felt her die.
I visited a young woman in hospital with bowel cancer. 3 weeks earlier she looked healthy enough. I was with other people thank goodness. When I walked into the room my eyes met hers. I saw death starring back. I was so surprised and shocked. I was so dismayed that she would have seen this on my face. I was totally unprepared for what I would see. She died a short time later. Whew.
Exactly. I thought no one was going to comment on that. One sane, natural reaction at last after all that insane blood lust of the onlookers. Who the hell would watch anything like that for entertainment? What were people like back then, what lives must they have lead to gain so much lack of empathy? Death penalty is a crazy concept. Doesn´t prevent anything either.
I kind of wonder how to rate the dude traveling across the city in the middle of the night (probably no street lights, cabs, etc) to watch in the first place.

Modern technology has yet to improve on it. Hangings are easy to botch; electric chairs malfunction; gas chambers take too long; lethal injections drag out while medtechs look for veins on arms frequently ravaged by IV drug use. A rifle to the back of the head works and is cheap but is also even more graphic than the guillotine and damaging to the ears.
@@shane99ca The head stays alive for a while. It takes the brain about 3 minutes to die, so the beheaded person, even if unconscious, can still have dreams.
@@billolsen4360 If you want to get technical, the muscles stay alive for hours. Death is and always was a process, barring complete disintegration. Unconsciousness, however, is not the same thing as sleep. Unconsciousness is dreamless, and the dying man wouldn't remember any dreams even if it weren't.
@@billolsen4360 Not true. The massive blood loss kills the brain in a matter of 30 seconds, TOPS. More usually, shock and trauma plus the blood loss makes brain death almost immediate.

Being a Headsman would be a dream job for me.I would have absolutely loved it.There is something very arousing about decapitation,it turns me on Big Time.
Interesting lesson. With a bit more context, you forgot to mention Maximillian Robespierre, the public safety officer onto whom the revolution he conjured turned against. If not literally, metaphorically, history repeats itself.
Imagine the kind of fear, waiting in a wooden wagon for your turn, knowing in a couple of minutes, you wouldn't be breathing anymore. Especially if the person was innocent, or charged for Petty crime. Just thinking about it terrifies me. I have absolutely no clue and Louis and Marie died so respectfully.
Several years ago I went to Vietnam and the Hanoi Hilton has a working Guillotine that was an artifact from the French occupation. It was not used by the Vietnamese, but the French. If you check the stats, the Nazis used the Guillotine on more French people during the occupation than the French did during the Revolution
You're right about the Nazis' use of the guillotine. Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans and Christian Probst and other members of the White Rose resistance group were executed that way.
The new nazi's are turned loose in amerika (what's left of it these days, which isn't much) and hoping to bring the guillotine back into public favor. We have douchebag donnie to thank for this. His pathologically delusional followers would shame a fucking serial killer's conscience.

Henry G Although tar and feathers usually doesn’t kill, it really depends on what you’re using to stick the feathers. For example, if you use asphalt to tar and feather someone it could be very life threatening. This is because it covers up your pores on your skin.
Starwarsrap1 I remember being a child in the early 2000’s and my parents were talking to me and my sister about how the world was different when they were young. They told us death penalty was still a thing a few years ago and that they themselves voted for the abolition of the death penalty (1981). So we asked how the people were being killed and they were like “I’m pretty sure they were beheaded by a guillotine.” like it was no biggie.
They still have it today. In the US they have around 50,000 in storage still brand new. I have a book that shows criminals' heads cut off after receiving the guillotine and some heads stayed alert for half a minute. They even hooked wires up to some of them & attached the wire to a battery then blew a horn in the ear or something to that effect to see the reaction if any by the head. Morbid shit I tell u
I remember reading an article in a magazine about a guy in France that had a portable Guillotine and he would drive to the Prison where the beheading would take place and according to the article the prisoner was never sure when the execution would take place. I believe I read that late '50's early '60's.
that is correct, the guillotine was the prperty of the executioner he and his assistants would set the machine up in the prison courtyard, and if voces were heard at 5 am on death row, all the condemed new one of them would die in a few minutes. for the condemmed were never told what day they would die, they just knew monsiour de paris had arrived.
No I think what actually happened was she stepped on foot and was like oh shit my bad my bad plz no kill and maybe even let me go because of how nice I’m being I’m jooooooooking I’m joooooooooking😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 unless ?????????????
Bloodshed, horror, tortures and death make people feel excited and euphoric. No wonder there are plenty of very popular horror movies and gruesome websites; and in the past, when public executions were allowed, were always one of the best entertainment surrounded by mass crowd, even the hotels nearby were all booked like celebrating a huge festival.

Oh, I'm sure the executioner will have never heard that one before. Go over about as well as saying to a customs officer, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
@Midnight Kitten I feel it in my bones, that there is a reference to something here.
There was a medieval Jester who famously said this before getting executed by the enemy
"yo danny you free tonight?"
"Nahh im caught up, guillotine show tonight"
😂
OK boomer
Horrible but true...
Oof
obviously they'd be both going to the execution together
I think the punishment is the walk to the guillotine itself. The anxiety would be excruciatingly more painful than the actual execution
The guillotine was also called the regretful climb, for that reason
Guillotine is a piece of theatre a slow pace and then dramatic quick end
One would be anxious walking to the guillotine, but my anxiety would be far, far worse if I was facing an execution with a hand-held axe.
@@martynw9166 at least the execution would be very rapid
@martynw9166 The last ax execution in Germany happened in 1935. In the hands of a skilled executioner it was very quick and efficient. But then unlike the axqq in the Tower of London, German execution ax or richtbeil was designed for the purpose. It had a short haft, the head had a broad cutting edge and weighed about 12 pounds. It was raised to shoulder height and the weight of the falling blade provided sufficient momentum to carry out the execution cleanly. Witness descriptions of ax executions state that from the moment the victim was handed over to the executioner and his assistants everything happened very quickly. I doubt you'd have been anxious for long.
This was so popular. People were losing their heads over this!

Dr. Guillotine presented his new "machine" to the King, Louis XVI the year the revolution started, just months before it began. If memory serves, the King rejected his idea because the guild of executioners didn't like it. They thought it was too easy and would diminish their professional skills. And they weren't wrong. Once it went into operation at the height of the revolution, it proved that almost anyone could be an executioner.
Another story of machines taking away our jobs
The device you're referring to is the breaking wheel, not the guillotine.
Dr Guillotine wasn't the inventor, he was the one who proposed the executions should be more humane (meaning as painless as possible). In fact he didn't even like the mechanism was named after him and (unsuccessfully) tried to rename it. He was member of the committee that researched such matters and advisor to the National Assembly when the French Revolution started.
The guillotine was designed during Louis XVI's time, however, and ironically he was the one who proposed the blade should be oblique. It was based on other European decapitation devices, and designed mainly by Antoine Louis (also physician and member of the committee), German engineer Tobias Schmidt, and the executioner Sanson who later wrote a memoir.
The first (French) guillotine was used during the French Revolution, so Louis XVI wouldn't have been able to have a say.
The gentleman was Dr Guillotin...without the final "e" and was pronounced as Gee-yoo-tahn (short nasal "n")
In high school, my history teacher had a guillotine replica and every morning would cut a pineapple with it for breakfast

Ah it's just business as usual, seen it, been there, done that lol
Scribbe Boy You are correct. It was the equivalent of the Salem Witch Trials where you could lie about your neighbor talking bad about the newly formed French Republic and that person would be arrested, pushed through a sham trial, and be decapitated. Since the United States had just gained independence at the time and the French Revolution did this. The reputation of Democracy and its ideals like that of Liberty and everything else the United States declared at the time. Many of the monarchies that surrounded France at the time and their subjects were disgusted with how Evil and savage the Revolution was and actually all quarantined the ideology of Democracy and attacked France all at once which Napoleon fought back which made him gain power and led to a Napoleon led France later on. I left out MANY MANY details and events but it’s quite SICKENING AND SAD how the Revolution for freedom turned into a literal dictatorship(The Reign of Terror it was called) and how many people were publicly executed because the Revolution must of had an execution fetish.
And the men watching it is not cold?? GTFO

"Was the guillotine humane?"
As opposed to having your head hacked off by a sword, it was certainly a lot more efficient and quicker, considering that beheadings by sword or axe oftentimes would require multiple strikes to cleave the head from the condemned
Karl Smith actually they used a axe before the guillotine. Anne Boleyn was executed via a sword as it was a quicker death with one stroke of the sword vs the possible multiple hackings from a axe
In some countries stone throwing is still a way to publicly execute people. So, compared to having hundreds of rocks on you until you die, yes I think that is humane
@@poopy4555 True, it leaves the most obvious signs of how the person had died too
@@haileyirene4713 True, but then again, in Anne Boleyn's case, the executioner was a master swordsman
there were swordsman that served as the executioner that weren't as skilled
The scimitars used in the beheading in the Middle East don’t seem to have any trouble. Don’t recommend people looking it up, but it clearly was very efficient with a sword as long as it’s sharp. Edit: I mean the ones done by Saudi officials, rather than terrorists with journalists.

I was told that a condemned person agreed to be a guinea pig of sorts. A doctor in this era was curious as to whether this beheading caused instantaneous death and if not whether the condemned retained any consciousness and for how long. They devised a code where the beheaded person would blink in a certain sequence until they actually died with the doctor immediately holding the head up and observing it. Apparently the condemned person retained consciousness for a short while before actually dying. I forget how long they actually lived, but it was for a short time. I imagine there life would be flashing through their mind and hopefully getting right with their creator.

@@thelonelyipad8648 Aside from what’s already been mentioned - Marie not having any actual governmental power (aside from needing to pop out an heir) - she was actually very generous. She gave over $300k of her own personal allowance to various charities, financially supported numerous poor families, she established a home for women, she adopted 3 poor kids to be raised with her own, she had cottages built at Trianon so she could move poor families into them, she sold off royal silverware in order to purchase grain for poor families, she even had the royals eat cheaper grain so there was more for everyone else... She even designed a cheap, white dress for herself, because she didn’t like dressing up so fancily all the time, and she was still criticized for it. From day one, the French hated her and treated her terribly, using her as a scapegoat for everything that was wrong with pre-revolutionary France. Granted she’s not absolved from all responsibility, the idea that you can ignore so much truth and chalk her existence up to an implication of complete conceitedness is wild.
@ran ran That's not entirely accurate, both she and the king were well aware of the starvation of the people. She herself was somewhat ambivalent, however the King actually did care. Louis XVI was actually very sympathetic (he was a strong believer in the values of the enlightenment), but his power was heavily restrained by an aristocracy that didn't want to lose power.
It's a common mistake to think that kings had unlimited power, but no person rules alone and even your average king has to compete with the nobility for authority. Anyway, my point is that it wouldn't have made a difference even if she was the most compassionate person in human history and had the king wrapped around her finger, nothing would change.
@@jasminejustice8129 Lots of wealthy people in the modern day donate money to charity, it's as much of a fashion statement as anything. In the modern day it's good because it's seen as a wealthy person portraying themselves as caring about causes, in Marie Antionette's day it was a show of Christian piety.
My point is, she probably did some good, but it doesn't necessarily reflect her true character (we just don't know her motives enough to say that). I can imagine that being foreign didn't always make her popular, but you can't deny that despite her contributions her overall attitude towards the struggle of the poor (from some of the things she said) made her seem ambivalent at best.
Not saying she was necessarily as evil as history likes to portray her, just that she was a woman who probably reflected the popular attitudes of her era and class. Which is to say that she was likely a lot less charitable and compassionate towards the poor than she needed to be, especially considering the volatility of those times.
Crazy how only 100 years later, the common masses are now traumatized from seeing the death of a human
Fun Fact: Sometimes a Executioner would face the head of the victim towards his/her own body after the deed was done so they can see their own bodies for 10 seconds before the head died as well.

I’ve worked as a nurse in palliative care, and sometimes encountering death makes me vomit too. It’s like the presence of the spirit of death brushing past you makes you physically sick.
I could never work in a hospital, if I saw a bad bloody injury I would pass out and if someone died I’d have the same reaction as you, just puke my guts out
Starlight Barking you can easily acclimatise to all patterns of hauntings. Remember this, if you have previously shown respect and care to patients before their time of death, they will in spirit return you favours like protecting you. Therefore, you have nothing to fear or worry, that is, if you are a good person, a prayerful type. If you ever feel wind blasts inside hospital rooms, that is nothing for you to worry about. When a person dies and its soul makes wind blast inside room, just let go of your fear. That is just a soul leaving from one plane to another. It is soul projection or channel crossing. Stay in hospital and continue working as a nurse. When you sense shadows flitting from corner to corner of places, stop your worrying and pray for self-protection. Souls who flit in high speed cast shadows in air. It is really nothing to worry, if they are mild souls. Let them haunt in peace. When you find wandering souls or mild poltergeists, just always pray for God's mercy upon their souls. There are many broken souls who need nice prayers, not exorcism. When you pray for them, not against them, they will return you favours, their way of showing their gratitude.
I live in haunted home with clandestine hauntings by mostly family ghosts and a spirit protector. I also work in a haunted workplace. Honestly, I feel 10000 times safer there than be alone with living dangerous people like stalkers, rapists, murderers, terrorists, etc. At home and work, I sometimes pick up somethings of hauntings. I always relax when the air is calm and serene, the air light and happy. When something is unsettling the air, it means I have an intruder in the proximity and my guardian makes winds inside rooms and through corridors and stairs. He removes all dangers from my path. He throws hardened criminals off their balance and sends them fleeing in fright. That spirit ensures my safety. He has previously saved my life over 20 times and responded to many emergencies like few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. He even once surprised a woman surgeon and nurses in a theatre where I was brought in for a vaginal cyst removal. He gave her confidence and guided her scalpel. The surgery went smoothly, while spirit eased my blood circulation during surgery. The surgeon extracted an enormous amount of cyst fats that was roughly 1000ml. After surgery, I awoke free of pain, no pains in the stitches. That surprised the staff. Over the next two weeks, I had still no pains and no infections appeared in the stitched area.
Valiantcat7780 I have witnessed few deaths in a local hospital. My late father died in peace. He was given morphine or relaxant and that helped reduce his fear of death. He had an easy death which wasn't painful or traumatic. I know what it is like to die, as I had NDE or Shared Death Experience. Today, my father's spirit haunts my workplace that was his in former life. I never think of my father as dead, as his spirit lives.
I've been in 3 situations (nursing homes) when a relative has died. Most recent, my wife's grandmother. When she died, lying in bed, my father-in-law holding her hand... I said, "she's no longer with us." My wife went to get a nurse, looked for a pulse, checked her (lack of) breathing... pronounced dead within a minute after I knew. It was freaky, cause I felt her die.
I visited a young woman in hospital with bowel cancer. 3 weeks earlier she looked healthy enough. I was with other people thank goodness. When I walked into the room my eyes met hers. I saw death starring back. I was so surprised and shocked. I was so dismayed that she would have seen this on my face. I was totally unprepared for what I would see. She died a short time later. Whew.

Compared to medieval torture and execution(s), the guillotine was relatively tame and quick, at least ideally.
Modern technology has yet to improve on it. Hangings are easy to botch; electric chairs malfunction; gas chambers take too long; lethal injections drag out while medtechs look for veins on arms frequently ravaged by IV drug use. A rifle to the back of the head works and is cheap but is also even more graphic than the guillotine and damaging to the ears.

Guillotine lynchings burning killing war slavery exploiting human trafficking. everything was common and happening before democracy took over. It has a long history in human culture.

Marie Antoinette: "Ight imma *head* out"
Luna - i bet everyone that doesn't like her are french... they think that Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI are the reason of the bankruptcy of the france, when Louis XIV is the main reason because of his pushing to build that "Palace of Versailles" even when the france is already bankrupt cause of building that luxurious palace.
Fun fact, actor Christopher Lee (from Lord of the Rings) witnessed the last public execution when he was 17 years old.
Fun fact Christopher Lee was in the crowd when they killed Eugene Weidmann.
Aaron Lozano I remember him talking about that....he was a little freaked out. I love Christopher Lee, super cool guy. Wish he could have lived forever.
@@dolenzmcqueen8316 He really didn't want to see it, but he attended it. Changed him a great deal (I think it would change ANYONE)
As a fan of Christopher Lee and fetish styled executions, thank you for this information. It will help! ;)
@@kendallcaminiti-hess2243 I guess that also changed how he behaved when facing a murder. Remember how calmly he advised Peter Jackson about how it _really_ sounds like when someone is getting stabbed in his back?
@@oldtoby9377 yes, I do...he was a class act that sadly you don't see anymore. always a gentleman...RIP Sir Christopher
My grandad's friend attended an execution, grandad didn't go himself but the friend had many sleepless nights because of what he saw.

One head lip synced, “Another Saturday night, and I ain’t got no body.”

it would be even more terrorizing if the victim was laid on his/her back so they could watch the blade drop
I would vote for lying the person face-up with no bag over his head.
Not knowing when it’s coming is the scariest part.
says you, Kevin, hehe. If we put on a bibcam we could televise the closeups. And have a pool on whether the eyes open and shut. Some of those Japanese game shows are brutal, almost that bad. Waiver time and a free case of soylent ham to the widow...

I'd probably take that over tar and feathers.
Tar and feathers doesn't kill you.
Henry G Although tar and feathers usually doesn’t kill, it really depends on what you’re using to stick the feathers. For example, if you use asphalt to tar and feather someone it could be very life threatening. This is because it covers up your pores on your skin.
Very interesting. Didn’t know that the guillotine was around in 70’s.
Starwarsrap1 I remember being a child in the early 2000’s and my parents were talking to me and my sister about how the world was different when they were young. They told us death penalty was still a thing a few years ago and that they themselves voted for the abolition of the death penalty (1981). So we asked how the people were being killed and they were like “I’m pretty sure they were beheaded by a guillotine.” like it was no biggie.
They still have it today. In the US they have around 50,000 in storage still brand new. I have a book that shows criminals' heads cut off after receiving the guillotine and some heads stayed alert for half a minute. They even hooked wires up to some of them & attached the wire to a battery then blew a horn in the ear or something to that effect to see the reaction if any by the head. Morbid shit I tell u

I remember reading an article in a magazine about a guy in France that had a portable Guillotine and he would drive to the Prison where the beheading would take place and according to the article the prisoner was never sure when the execution would take place. I believe I read that late '50's early '60's.
that is correct, the guillotine was the prperty of the executioner he and his assistants would set the machine up in the prison courtyard, and if voces were heard at 5 am on death row, all the condemed new one of them would die in a few minutes. for the condemmed were never told what day they would die, they just knew monsiour de paris had arrived.
“Give me back my wooden gallows”
“An apology for the executioner”
“Made her cheeks blush”
People are wild

Ok rumour
Marie was executed by a swordsman.
Local Fanatic ok loomer 🧶
Bloodshed, horror, tortures and death make people feel excited and euphoric. No wonder there are plenty of very popular horror movies and gruesome websites; and in the past, when public executions were allowed, were always one of the best entertainment surrounded by mass crowd, even the hotels nearby were all booked like celebrating a huge festival.
