Are you pro or con capital punishment? Is it an outlived concept or does it serve it's purpose? Let me know in the comments!
I think a person should be punished for the crimes he has done but takin his life does not make any difference between us and the criminal.
If man’s blood you shed, by man’s hands shall your blood be shed. Also,
It (government) bears not the sword (1st century euphemism for death) in vain. It couldn’t be stated more clearly. Murder is worthy of death, and I believe that hanging or firing squad are the best forms of capital punishment
The Infographics Show why are you commenting so late
Hmm my views on this are:a murder is a life sentance 2 murders life sentance 3 murders execution 4 +F*CKING TORTURE THEM -AHAHAHAHAH- ok srslly after a bit of a killing spree i think its justified to torture them even for a bit
im pro capitol punishment, but i dont actually like it that much. I agree that it should be a quotidian norm, conversely the methods used are horrrendous, but i dont think there would be a good way of killing (apart from carbon monoxide poisoning)
Me: *strapped in the chair*
Police: Any last request?
Me: Yes...Hold my hand
MK Gamer oh I get it 😂
MK Gamer cop: gets electrocuted instead of criminal.
Me: *sitting on table, prepped for lethal injection*
Doctor/guard: Any last request?
Me: let me go home for 45 more years
Oh I get that means the cop dies to
😂😂
I mean shooting a guy in the head is faster....
Quite Indeed with a shotgun just for good measure
Big Steph Cheap to.
And messier than all executions
I mean you just pressure wash the "test chamber" afterwords.
chris becks are you sure? Video's of NKVD shooting Kulaks on TH-cam aren't that messy. Just a shot, then a crumple.
3:43 that is George Stinney and he was actually innocent but his innocence was discovered 70 years after his execution
I guess you're hard of hearing. That was a guy in Arkansas in the early 1920's. George was in South Carolina in 1944. George was so small he was only jolted once and died.
no George was 14
Murdered, george was murdered he never was exequted
@@Deridiya He was executed bud
@@crystalsthename no he said that IT WAS FOUND HE WAS FOUND INICENT 70 YRS LATER
“This is a pretty horrible way to end a video, so let’s end it with an ad.”
Hahahfdujhyyh yep,yep,yea
XD
that was so pathetic lol
@@nataliaflc i said the exact same lol
Capitalism counters capital punishment.
I'm guessing it hurts like hell.
Oh, noo. It's a very smooth transition into the afterlife. You won't feel a thing. It's almost like a breath of fresh air under the guillotine.
@@Kraterlandschaft lollllz😂
Kraterlandschaft how would anyone know how it feels because everyone who’s ever been in an electric chair are all dead...
@@zaarawaa probably got executed in a past life
I been shocked before to the point my heart stopped but it honestly was not bad it’s so fast and like I remember feeling a second enough time for my brain to register pain so maybe 17 seconds I think is what it is but it was like just a slight burning ringingly feeling it’s not bad
next : how effective is killing a person
Effective in what way?
*strapon porn*
Kenneth B effective in rehabilitating them
We need rehabilitation no insane asylums/prisons.
The cardinal issue here is the avoidance of responsibility.
R.i.p George.
"He was not executed, he was murdered."
Did u know that on an executed person's death certificate the cause of death is listed as homicide..
Heather Bushman So what. If they list it as candy overdose, the outcome is the same. Problem is, nobody prosecutes the homiciders.
Yes
George Stinney? 😥🙏🏼
And John Coffey
4:59 they're killing mr. Clean😔
They said he was a war veteran, can’t believe they would execute
He didn't clean the bathroom enough 😔
Oof
He didn't clean up blood good enough
nitrogen would be the most humane execution method
> its extremely cheap to extract from regular air
> it makes up most of the atmosphere
> its non toxic
> its completely painless (ever breathed from a helium balloon and passed out?)
> it can be collected and reused
> no special chambers or training is needed to use it
> organs can still be harvested after the execution
> the prisoner can be revived up to 10 minutes after execution if needed (dependent on temperature.etc)
Holton was one of my inmates when i worked in Tennessee corrections. Piece of crap, that got what he deserved.
@@jrelvas4676 God would intervene if it wasnt his time.
no he wouldnt les.
God has no power like that.
if it wasnt his time, then guess what?, dudes still getting the electric chair while god takes the back seat and watches
So i guess all those kids dying of cancer, it was just their time to go...lmao
Because even the worst of criminals are humans? It shouldn't matter what God, or sadists think about karma and sweet-punishment. It's basic morality to make the execution process painless. Death is the biggest punishment known to men, so why bother making it painful, if the next second he is dead and have no emotions to feel remorse or... well, pain?
It's not the voltage that kills the person, it's the amperage that kills the person. You can get hit with 50,000 volts and it's not going to hurt you, your hair will stand up on your head (in a lot of high school science classes they do this). But, if you get 1/1000 of an amp at your heart you're dead. I thought I'd point that out.
Yes,amperage is kind of like heat being generated. However voltage breaks down your resistance to electricity; the higher the voltage is the less resistance there is.
@@ericcutrer1467 ok, but witch is the amperage of the electric chair?
@@guilhermearaujo1350if electric shocks come at a specific voltage number, it depends on how much resistance the person has. Ohm’s Law states that Current=Voltage/Resistance. The average I’d assume is probably a few amperes, provided the electrocution is conducted properly.
It shocks the shit out of you! There I just saved you 8 minutes
Lmao
Plug it in
Flip the switch
15-30 Seconds you die.
@@b_f_d_d 15?!
No you didn't there's other shit you didn't say so hadie (tough luck)
Thats clever
4:13
Guy killing a guy saying that killing is wrong
I love irony.
Thats like saying putting someone in jail is the same as kidnapping someone and locking them in your basement.
You see children, you need a better IQ than the people commenting these. Onto the next exhibit!
Lol
I agree
me: "sees title"
also me: *The Green Mile flashbacks*
RIP John Coffey
That was a sad movie.
I’ve seen that movie ten times and the Eduard delacroix execution scene still gives me goosebumps
That movie scared me so much though,i couldn't sleep-
"so the question is, does it hurt?"
your getting shocked with 2000 bolts of electricity do you think it feels like a massage
Ask del from green mile
Stick a fork in a fuse box and find out
You feel nothing.
@@peterzingler6221 I only feel when I'm jacking it
again. it's way more than 2000 volts, over 15k definitely.
4:28 literally the worst dollar shave club ad ever

Hahaha
CO TY TU KURWA ROBISZ CHIX!!!
"The prisoner will have his head, calves, and obviously his nards shaved"
“AC/DC” Sounds familiar?
AC/DC was based off of the electric chair,
And Metallica had an album off of the electric chair that’s so crazy
I Didn't Know That!!!!! Lol!!!! 🤣
I love ride the lightning
XxMega_FallXx Fabulous IRL yea ikr it’s crazy
Keine Ewigkeit amen that’s one of my favorite albums
Two of the best bands ever
Why they killed mr clean
Cause he wouldn't stop stop cleaning we had to get rid of him some day
XD
😂😂😂
Lol XD
Hahahahhahaha
Me about to be executed
Guard: Any last words?
Me: Can I have a last request?
Guard: What is it?
Me: Can you hold my hand?
Guard: OK.
(Electric Chair starts, both die)
Criminal problem, require criminal solution
What you’re supposed to see:
“You died!”
*Respawn*
What you actually see:
“Game Over!”
*Leave Server*
The executioner forgot that tge officer was holding the criminal's hand
Doesn't work like that. The guard would instantly pull his hand away, since he is only touching an HV live wire.
yeah ikr
"humane method of execution"
Electricity: accidentially kills people in the 1880s
Executioner: INTERESTING
2000 volts is nothing for me

"If I get scared, will you hold my hand?"
🤣🤣
I saw that and I was like "Lol, I was going to make that joke but Infographics beat me to it"
No one will see this, but have you ever seen or read The Green Mile? One of the characters, who was executed via electric chair, died in a manner very similar to the first man ever electrocuted. One of his characters also had to be electrocuted twice, just like him too. It'd make since that Stephen King would draw inspiration from the first execution.
I dead ass cried for like a day after this film with my mum
I swear these educational videos hit better at home when u wanna learn😂
A long time ago, I used to think of the electric chair as being a huge solid piece of cast iron and steel, like one of those old Nintendo chairs. Basically, I once imagined the electric chair as being basically a Nintendo seat made entirely of steel. I imagined the condemned as being ordered to sit down in the steel chair, strapped down, and then a single, extreme high voltage (about 5,000 or 6,000 volts) being sent through the seat where it would pass straight from the steel chair into the inmate's body, frying him and electrocuting him.
Great video as always. Thank you for explaining how this method works as well as a bit of history behind it.
Whether sitting in the electric one or an observation one, it really can be a *shocking* experience!
ppl r dying to ssee it.
Granted its been long since my engineering classes, but Im almost 100% sure that Volts dont pass through anything. Amps/current is.
facts
Sometimes you gotta like your own comment to get it started.
Edit: Told you so.
haHAA
...
Always
*clap*
Like a nudge in the right direction
6:53
And that how you kill a person.
But more importantly let me tell you about our sponsors!
“How does an electric chair work?”
A plug and wires.
No. A high voltage transformer.
Chair and electricity
1:51 it wasn't "nicholas tesla", but Nikola Tesla... smh
FinaleeE Nikola
simple you just stick a fork in a toaster
Didn’t work
KingAsaTheGoodest 42170 lol
And putt the top of the fork up there ass
That toaster also has to be on and the fork has to be made out of metal
Tá fáilte romhat
your breaker trips
Me siting in a chair: Starts watching video
Me: Stands up and sits on floor
It took a longer than normal time to strap Daryl Holton into the Tennessee electric chair as it was that states first ever use of the "new" chair with multiple harnesses and buckles.
Subsequently, TDOC placed stickers with numbers on each component of the buckle and belts so that corrections officers can visually match which belt goes into which buckle.
I was so scared of death when watching this
This video is depressing.
Yeah. Why do people have to give death? I'd rather be in jail for 7 million years than death sentence.
Guy sounds like he's yawning and trying to speak at the same time
And you sound like Hank Hill.

The leather blindfold is to prevent pieces od the eyes from flying around
I did not know that! Scary 😳😬
eeewww thats gruesome
@@cocopops7945 I agree 😬
Same for hanging
No actually just to hide the sight of the eyes from the witnesses. They bulge but do not explode as the current is applied.
4:16 when your state is listed.
4:44 that "hold my hand" meme is underrated
"A prisoner being electrocuted is paralysed by the large amount of energy in the shock and is also asphyxiated, but almost certainly fully conscious and sentient. He may feel himself being burned to death while he is conscious of his inability to breathe"
From an old book about different forms of execution
“Electric chair!” *slams gavel*
- Khia, 2018
A *killer* invention if ever there was one. Effective *execution* though it comes as a *shock* to many. Yet some people get a real *charge* out of it!
BRUH I JUST SERCHED "Sally face" AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE GOT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The chair scared me as a kid I always thought it wouled happen to me or see someone I know in it but it's not used anymore so itz goodz.
Sonicice 24 I thought the electric chair is still a thing
Hate to break it to you but it still is. today a man in Tennessee was executed using the electric chair.
Actually it's still a form of exicution. But it legit kills you in 3 seconds so iz good.
It used to scare me too. Now I find it oddly fascinating.
The green mile was awesome!
Also the book was even more graphic than the movie.
It was used twice in 2018. It's still in use.
Next you can perhaps do a comparison on Norway prisons vs. American prisons?
Who's here after watching "Just Mercy?"
Nikki Tikki me man im still disturbed after the execution
Ah, The Electric Chair, the devil of all chairs, just above the second most infamous chair - the Dentist's Chair!
Thankyou infographics, time to start building!
1:20 "botched hangings often upset the more sensitive folks" if someone is so sensitive, why are they going to watch a hanging?
These video's are getting scarier and scarier!
I feel like there should be a petition to start calling electric chairs, “Zappy Seats”.
4:43 Sir, Iam scared. Will you hold my hand?🤣🤣
Man builds electric chair. What happens next will shock you.
Hannah Kent LMAOOOO
One thing to remember about electricity, be more worried about the amps
5:58 woah looks like those guards seem a bit too exited if you know what I mean, and see 😏
I love the dark humor they added in the conversation bubbles. 😂😂😂😂
Firing squad best execution method dont @ me
I like hung drawn and quartered
Well the guy who woke up in the coffin could of told if it was painful
I'll go with the guillotine:
yeah I know, it's gruesome but it's quick.
4:19 "Maybe this will teach you that it is morally wrong to kill people", says the executioner as he flips the switch.
man i gotta say, the writing on this show is top notch sometimes.
The Electric Chair is a type of execution where you get electrocut....
Electroboom: wait what you say?
"The most painful way should be to let them listen Gucci gang for 10 hours".
yeah lol
People today: Videogames are making people violent!!
Medieval torturer: *Laughs in iron maiden*
I wanna make a pun about this topic but,it may be so electrifying,it would lift you outta yo' chairs
That’s not as punny as the other puns,your humor is not PUNNY
@@turkialashiekh respect +100 😂
Hahaha you seem like a nice dude
Me going bout to get excuted
Guard: you got any last words
Me: find random reverse card under seat
Guard: wait what’s that
Me: puts it down
Guard: well played
4:26 is wat u came for
TANKS XD
Alabama's chair is called 'Big yellow mama' as it was painted w yellow high-way paint.
idk lol maybe it uses like, electricity!
@Prussian Eagle its flat
Seems like we got a Sherlock right here
"More fun for a second". inserts ad. Ya, i love them ads.
Me: strapped in the chair
Police: Any Last Request?

Prisoners: I wanna introduce u my uno reverse card
'Happy prisoners noises'
Came her from green mile
This is good shown by the movie the green mile, trust me, ol' sparky is nothing to be messed with, if you dont have a wet sponge, the electric current will only fry the skin and bone not pass through the brain and body
Was ol' sparky worse than what happened to Del?I'm still having Vietnam flashbacks about seeing the human embodiment of my childhood practically be burned to death. (Del is Mr. Noodle confirmed--)
That was the saddest scene...
Miss Jai:
I know right.Del was my favorite character.I almost cried.
RaViNaTOR GaMiNg The Green Mile is fantasy. A more realistic depiction was in the film “Monster’s Ball” where character Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs) was “executed” in the actual electric chair of Louisiana in the actual death chamber at Angola Penitentiary where it was used until 1991.
02:34 he looks innocent
Did you know the electric chair was created by a dentist. I bet your shocked!!
Not so ironic considering one of the first rapid fire guns was invented by a doctor, Richard Gatling.
12 gauge to the back of the head. Simple, fast humane, and cheap.
Hella messy though.
Mhm good choice get an DB and shaBOOM
I would rather that than the chair
How about no-one dies. We should ban dying. Make it illegal to die
Mafu Is mlg I agree. Nobody deserves death
When I see a electric chair, I cry (Sally Face fans will understand)
Ikr 😭
Sal deserved better
Yes, we understand😥😥
Fun fact: the rock band AC/DC is named after active current/direct current after one of the bands founding members (Angus Young) saw the acronym on the bottom of his sisters sewing machine
Correction.... AC stands for alternating current and DC stands for Direct Current. Active current is nonsense. All current is active.
I thought it was a vacuum cleaner, lol. Well thanks for teaching me my new thing for the day 😁
I think firing squad is probably the quickest, may not be the cleanest but it has always worked.
What if someone is so strong that they break free of the straps and cops had to hold the person down, which electrocutes the guards as well dying execution lol
This is BRUTAL.
I wonder how these videos are "advertiser friendly"
Finally, now I know how to upgrade my toaster bath
*Oof*
Does it hurt? Nah Palpatine was just tickling Luke Skywalker and Mace Windu.
The idea alone of knowing that other people have a right to decide my fate is more scarier than any of these executioners. If I go out, I'd rather go out leaving a legacy for my loved one. Dying for others entertainment just doesn't sit well with me...
Wait I'm confused I thought witnesses actually saw the person get electrocuted. They said that they'd bring the blinds down. what's the truth? I guess it may be traumatizing for witnesses so they witness them I guess getting strapped but not the electrocution part. Does anyone know? Or is it either one in some executions?
What about George Stinney he was youngest black person killed
We have the same name
No he was not it was Jerome Rodgers
@@-cem3ntine230 he meant by the electric chair
America must set a new record killing a 13 year old or maybe 10 years USA is best In this terms
I don't want the website builder that powers this electric chair video.
😳
4:04
It's not the voltage in itself that kills you. It's mainly the current (Ampere).
You could easily die with just 200 Volts. Especially here in Sweden where the outlets are 220~240 volts with 10 Amps.
Just 0.05 Amps is lethal if the current passes your heart.
Another execution is hearing Justin Bieber “Baby” song.
LOL
3:36 I’m pretty sure Eduard Delacroix would be the worst botched execution in the chair
I am related to the Zimmermans from “The Guns of Meeting Street” and Clarence Bagwell (the hired killer) was executed and he was the last execution in South Carolina, along with Wallace Logue (I think thats his name) via electric chair.
