- There are 56 countries which still have the death penalty, including Egypt, where executions are carried out by hanging. We ask a retired Egyptian executioner what made him pursue this morbid career and what the job entails.

I'd tend to avoid someone who describes meeting up with friends as a similar experience to executing people
I wouldn't get on my high horse so quickly if I were you. It's funny how even the worst shit becomes mundane after continuous exposure.
People who have to deal with death all the time become immune to it and it just becomes another routine. Soldiers in war zones especially would know how it is.
As Tecumseh Sherman once said; "I regard the death and mangling of a couple thousand men as a small affair, a kind of morning dash - and it may be well that we become so hardened."
Like I said, it's funny how even the worst shit becomes mundane after continuous exposure.
*Edit:* A lot of people seem to be missing the distinction between murdering someone and executing them. I know they sound the same - especially if you've planted yourselves on a moral pedestal- but the fact of the matter is they're not. If you're having trouble distinguishing between the two, I suggest googling.
@@ChristianNelsonn Yeah well said after time I guess he got used to it
You'd want someone with such a mindset as both, your surgeon, or your executioner (if it for whatever came to that).
It means he's calm while doing it, being calm reduces the chances of mistakes.
It does sound a bit morbid, I won't deny that, but I'd rather have that guy than some shivering dude, who let's it get to him.
Some school shooter mentality, I just went to class started mowing em down with my tec9, ya know just another day hanging out with the boys.
Man, as Nelson said, you get used to it. Imagine a family having sex with each other, the children raised in that family wouldnt even consider it abnormal. The same goes with people who kill. It's something they do occasionally.

They also enforced the end of slavery on the Arabs and other people's after abolision stopping future occurences of open slavery (it occurs now but usually slave labour and sex slavery under the radar, and the west isn't a large source of that), something which had been occuring for endless centuries, invented modern medicine, harnessed the power gride, the automobile, the aeroplane, computer technology and many things that save and enhance endless lives today, it's silly to generalize an entire race into their wrongs trying to weigh up who did worse, because you can also argue they contributed many positive things to counteract their wrongdoing, also do we judge those on the sins of the father? that's very old testamant, white people of the modern day aren't the ones throwing gays off buildings, chopping hands, stoning, drowning 'witches' or cracking bald people's heads open for gold, in fact they're actively harming themselves trying to help undeserving economic leeches.

Holy shit, the fact that inmates only learn of their execution TWO HOURS beforehand is way crueler than the actual act of killing. Imagine spending months, years, maybe even decades on death row with that uncertainty.
No you idiot . Imagine knowing when. It’s gonna happen , the guy will go insane and wouldn’t be able to think of nothing else , can you imagine them telling you you’re dying in 18 Days , you won’t be able to eat sleep laugh have fun or anything that’s not insanity , but then again movies show you the guy who “has months to live” and maybe in real life some would do as many things as they can , but this guy would be in prison .
Knowing it might be more torturous
False hope prevents irrational endings.
If you think about it, there is no difference with the uncertainty of death between normal people and deathrow inmates. It's just that we have slightly more freedom to distract us.

"I get upset when there are no executions" he says What a wicked soulless being!
It sounds crude the way it's written, but he's making light of the fact that there is so little work to keep him gainfully employed. I highly doubt that he revels in executions, and he laments the fact that people don't engage in sensible activities that could prevent their death penalties (i.e. in the case of where instead of obtaining a divorce or separation, a woman murdered her good-natured partner). There is no 'wicked streak' there. I think you may have missed his dark humour and its accompanying nuances.

Could you imagine the amount of innocent people this man has killed. It happens in the good old USA and we actually have a first world court system
It's kind of disturbing how he likes his job. I can't imagine or even bear to watch someone die in front of me. No matter how hideous their crimes have been.
yeah, it's pretty messed up. I think jobs like that attract a certin type of person. I find it weird that he remembers the execution of the woman the most. I mean, sure, her head popped off and you wouldn't forget that even if you wanted to. but he seems proud of himself even though he botched it? and he feels like it was righteous. weird.
Also disturbing that eygpt most likely doesn't have balance in the law so most of these deaths were from crimes that arent "execution worthy" and some maybe even innocent. Im just wondering what that husband did for the wife to feel motivated to kill him? Im positive nobody took that into consideration in the court rooms.
What if it was a known killer say Dahmer or Bundy and you knew the intensity of their crimes?
i was starting to wonder if anyone else was concerned about him seeming to enjoy the job
People like you would allow serial killers to continue their sentence, avoiding the death penalty and finding a way out of prison where they will commit more murders. Would you still feel the same way if someone kidnapped, raped and murdered your mother or sister or daughter...?? Just cause you won't do it doesn't mean the whole world has to stop and sob with you. The world has to move on and you have no Right to judge without understanding their circumstances or context of the situation.

There are no laws in the constitution that say Gays, Atheists, or even Apostates should be imprisoned let alone be killed. Even the president a month ago said everyone should live his own life as he wants (in the youth conference).
That said, we still have barbaric laws, I agree like Blasphemy for example.
Things are going to change over time, the new generations are much much more open minded, and hopefully when the economy grows, the HDI should grow as well thus equals more seculariztion to the country and the people...

Thank you VICE. As always, thought provoking looks into the world at large and ourselves. I'm a big fan of what you do. However, I feel it is important to call attention to your subtitles on two accounts: 1 - They are timed incorrectly and the selection of words for any given English subtitle can subvert that timing, making it almost impossible to read verbose translations in the given screen time. 2 - The subtitles should be in a separate file (which is conveniently provided by TH-cam) so that additional languages can be added to a video without disturbing the visual impact of your impressive work. The separated translation-subtitle text files are easily handled by a plethora of digital video players for circumstances where you're presenting your work on platforms and venues other than TH-cam. In regards to the timing, re-wording with shorter sentences will help, as well as shortening the screen time of "short" translations to give needed room for more screen time for the longer translations. It is a dis-service to the VICE canon of work to provide badly timed subtitles, and to "hard code" them so that beyond English, other native speakers are left out in the rain. Please consider the impact your material would have if you planned on reaching a larger audience in their native tongues. Just sayin'. Thank you again for your hard work. Regards, AD
Well said! Bravo!

While some people can find it revolting that he wouldn't take taking a life more seriously, it's even scarier how politicans everywhere can ignore the fact that they're the ones taking lifes. Whether its with executions or by supporting laws that lead to more crime and poverty.
The shit youtube has me watching, how tf did i go from instrumentals, to executions 💀😂
Have lord have mercy on him and the ones he executed.
My parents are from Egypt, and I was told that these people develop some really bad mental health problems. There comes a point where some of them become crazed when they haven't killed someone for some time and need to be thrown in mental hospitals. Not sure how much of this is urban legend or reality.
"Mental health" only effects infidels
Imagine being so delusional, that you believe being an executioner is a proffesion which would bring you joy. You’d have to be a psycho to actually enjoy it on top of that. Would never trust this guy with my life
The dude's eyes are soulless, you can see it
It takes a truly sick human to become an executioner.
You make no sense.
This is where I'm conflicted over the death penalty, some POS definitely deserve to die but others like the innocent man he executed definitely didn't. Too bad if you're actually innocent.
It's all fate ya know...
We certainly can't change the fate which has already been written by God
The risk of executing 1 innocent person is enough for the death penalty to be outlawed.
It’s hard to really understand how someone would feel about having the job.
Death is stigmatic, so many who never have to soil their hands don’t really have a mental base to stand on when confronting a job like this. They frown upon those who do this because of the unnerving focus the executioner has on completing the task precisely. It seems alien, or psychotic.
But it’s more understandable than you may think.
An executioner’s job is cruel. You’re there to take a life, then get paid for it. But the executioner themselves are still people, and their duty is to remind their victims that they are still people, too. They are responsible for the personal care of the individual being sent to the gallows. Granting last requests. Monitoring health. Giving them the reassurance that even though the victim’s time is limited, their time will remain as humanly respected as possible. They are their victim’s last friend.
And then, when the time finally comes, their duty is to make sure that their victims enter the permanent sleep without suffering. This is the task that required such precision. If they lacked that precision, and weren’t able to grant their victim that last kindness of a painless death, the memory would truly haunt them as would the guilt.
And for many it did haunt them.
So they sharpened their blades to a razor’s edge. They measured the rope down to the last millimeter. They prepared in every way they humanly could almost to the point of obsession.
Because to them, doing anything less would be a disservice to the victim, and themselves.
You really have to be able to remove yourself from these situations to see the bigger picture. I was watching something else yesterday about a German executioners from the 1500s. In his diary he talked about sitting with the condemned person and trying to get them to understand they aren't a bad guy as its not personal and to get forgiveness for what they were about to do from the person they were going to do it to. He would do what he could to make them relaxed like allowing them to eat good food and get drunk. Part of this was for if they were relaxed when he brought his axe down they were less likley to move making it easier for him to do the job in 1 swing making it as painless as possible. I can understand that a lot of people who did this job saw it as very important to make it as easy and painless for the condemned person.
You cannot be ethical about stealing people‘s lives. If you do, you‘re a monster. And you‘ll never be worthy of love or forgiveness. You don‘t deserve it. Killers don‘t deserve that for they cannot even feel that themselves.

He’s Egyptians. In Egypt, executioners often times come from low income families. Poor areas in Egypt. Had rough lives and can handle rough things. This kind of job does not phase them. His accent is from the poor areas of Egypt.
Translation could’ve been better.
Ki I speak Egyptian Arabic and it's pretty accurate
@@aos1762 I feel it did not convey the emotion involved
Fuckington VI yeah well conveying emotion and accurately translating words are two different things
Fuckington VI also it's hard to convey emotions when translating any language. Of course if you understand the language being spoken, it's better.
@@aos1762 It is definitely hard but I would expect vice to have the ability to pull it off.
All in all I think they did a good job
I think he is an overelly good man, with ethics vastly different from our own, but he is no psycho.
“It’s like going to see friends, and then taking one and hanging them. No emotion involved”. What a great guy to be friends with.
Dunno i didnt like it/him.
He took joy in taking lives of other people, he reveals this when he said how bored he got when there was none to execute.
He reveals he executed a man who he thought was innocent, how do u live with urself then?
He sees the job of an executioner as that of a celebrity.
In each of his sentence u could sense arrogance and bit of sociopathy
Go back and watch this again, except imagine it's a Nazi soldier talking about his experience killing Jews. Trying not to mess up his job and having military personnel all around you at all times. Makes you think.
He’s out telling his story but people got life sentences for consuming and selling plants.
The crazy
As weird as it is. They broke the law, he is enforcing the law. Is there something wrong with laws? Definitely. But that's the difference.
So he got wood from seeing how the executioner carried such respect and he wanted that.
I have been waiting for this answer my whole entire life! Thank you for covering this topic!
I'm starting to think these jobs were invented for psychopaths... not that he is one... but he has psychopathic Dexter sides to him tho...
And euhm power, ego and grandiosity come also into play.. respect, status and power!!
It's sickening how so many People sympathise with this monster.
It’s a job. Someone has to do it. Nothing wrong with it
This guy is a badass. He's got some serious mental toughness.
Plot twist: everyone he executed is waiting for him in the afterlife
2:49... Answer: LiveLeak binge.
Did this guy just say he wanted to become an Executioner because of the respect he would get ?
Executioner = paid serial killer he gets restless when there is no one to kill? Reminds of the series "dexter"
It's amazing that governments all over the world still believe they have any right to take someones life.
Lol... Then when the man who kidnaps, rapes and murders your mother or sister or daughter is sentenced to death, protest it. Let's see how you behave then. Would you like to justify your sanitized pov on the victim's family...??
If someone decides its their right to take someone else's life (as in murder), why doesn't it seem right to take their right of life?
psychopath
