Here is a pretty famous execution! The execution by hanging of Big Mary the 5 ton circus elephant.

At first glance this does look like a joke of somekind.. you really gotta look at the image and say WTF! This is the biggest lynching in history for sure.

But it is real, this is the lynching of an elephant named Mary.

The year is 1916 and vigilante justice is the rage, whether its a negro or an elephant at the end of the noose does not seem to matter, townspeople come out in mobs, a family affair, to see the spectacle of a good lynching to satisfy the bloodlust.

War was raging and… It was a good year for scapegoats. It was a good year to hang an elephant.

I do say lynching because lynching is the execution without trial carried out by an angry mob… and yes, there was a town angry at Mary.

A circus came to town along with the elephants, clown and trained seals. Mary the elephant was billed as the largest elephant around with the promoters hyping her up as have killed a dozen people for the show.
Wade Ambrose, who was 20 at the time Mary was hung, recalls that the roustabouts chained Mary’s leg to the rail, then drove her companions back around the roundhouse.

“They had a time getting the chain around her neck. Then they hooked the boom to the neck chain, and when they began to lift her up, I heard the bones and ligaments cracking in her foot. They finally discovered that she’d not been released from the rail, so they did that.”

This is an older video of an execution from the old Taliban rule. Here a woman is executed in public for the alleged murder of her husband.

The execution is sick to watch, not only because its an execution, but more so because of the public nature. This was made out to be a spectacle… they had commercials for this shit and it was held in a large stadium to accamodate the large group of people who came to see it… I wonder if they sold tickets to this shit.

It was a family event for sure… a wickedly rotten sick and twisted family event. These fools did take this as an event and brought the family, kids and all.

here is what happened….

Witnesses said the convicted woman walked slowly, each step followed by a pause.

When she reached the center of the field she was ordered by one of the women to sit.

Behind her a young Taliban soldier, his head wrapped in the traditional turban, took aim with his Kalashnikov rifle. But suddenly Zarmeena stood up and tried to flee. A policewoman stopped her and forced her to sit, said witnesses.

The Taliban soldier moved closer and shot her three times.

Afterward from the crowd several people shouted “God is great.”

The stadium was packed with men and women, many of whom had brought their children.

One woman in a burqa, who did not give her name, but was running quickly toward the stadium seats pushing her small children ahead of her, said: “This is the first time a woman has been killed. I wanted to see.”

Radio Shariat on Monday announced that there would be a public execution.

The Taliban have imposed their harsh brand of Islamic law in the 90 percent of Afghanistan under their control. The Taliban say their version of Islam is a pure one that follows a literal interpretation of the Muslim holy book, The Koran.

We, in the US may not see being stoned as such a horrible thing, however in the Middle East, especially in Afganistan, Iran and other countries it is certain death.

So what makes for a crime punishable by death? well, most people believe that it is causing the death of another. But some societies are still stuck in the days of witch hunts.

Stoning to death is a cruel insane Islamic punishment given to people who are married but still voluntarily have sex outside marraige ( the cheater may not even always be guilty of the crime, since I doubt they have DNA evidence or any evidence of said crime other than one word against anothers). This punishment was ordered by the “merciful” Prophet, who ofcourse was the messenger of the “merciful” Allah.

Yes, this is the religion of peace. We see the peacefull solutions on CNN daily to the problems they may face.
So, more about execution by stoning…

Here is the stoning execution of four people, please be aware this is a very graphic and violent video clip of a bloody and barbariuc middle East Taliban style execution

In stoning to death, the victims’s hands are tied behind their backs and their bodies are put in a cloth sack. Then, this human “package” is buried in a hole, with only the victims heads showing above the ground. If its a woman, she is buried upto her shoulders. This is to give her an seemingly equal (but nonetheless impossible) chance to escape recognizing her lesser physical strength.
After the hapless individual has been secured in the hole, people start chanting “Allah hu Akbar” (meaning, God is great), and throw palm sized stones at the head of the victim from a certain distance (a circle is drawn).
The stones are thrown until the person dies or until he/she escapes out of the hole and crosses the circle. Escaping is impossible, given that the individual’s hands are tied behind their backs and they are buried in a hole upto their necks or shoulders (in the case of males and females respectively).
Naturally, the procedure is extremely barbaric and bloody.

You must wonder why the people are wrapped in a sack. Is that so that the individuals doing the stoning do not feel as bad. Does that remove the face and leave a blank for them to throw stones at. If the ladies faces are not covered, will they still celebrate?

So who here is commiting the crime? the criminal or the gang of executioners? hmm

Warning! This is an extremely sick and disgusting punishment, and thus watching this video can make you weak or possibly give you nausea and shock for several days. Please do not watch if you are weak-hearted.

Can we all get an Amen for peace, mercy and religious spirit, still going strong and bringing out all of humanities best.

black and white compilation of russian executions, mostly all group hangings from war times of what the video says is war criminals… the video is pics of 6 men and 5 women publicly hanged for warcrimes on the American Independance day, 4th July 1946 on Biskupia Gorka(hill) near Gdansk in Poland. No fireworks on this one I bet.

The Family that “slays together stays together“. Well not in the case of The worlds most notorious family… yep, the Husseins. Apparently as the “slayees” revolted, the members of this family all ran to find thier own fox holes to hide in. They obviously could dish out death, torrment, torture and general destruction, but not face it standing up themselves.

This photo is of Saddam, Uday and Qusay, the Hussein family photo, they all look so charming… who could imagine the smiling men are blood thirsty tyrants? hmmm.

The dictator’s sons, Uday and Qusay are two of Iraq’s most notorious tormentors and are known to have tortured and executed thousands. I mean, look at these heart-warming billboards of Saddam Kissing the child, that just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. “What a great tyrant, he kisses the kids after slaying their family”

Now this guy here… really is not into warm and fuzzy billboards, he sees it as a chance to target practice. I hear they do a lot of that in Iraq.

OK not so warm and fuzzy

However the pictures around the country got replaced with another family photo as the Hussein “slay together, stay together” family found itself with some serious family problems.

The former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, was hanged in northern Baghdad for crimes against humanity.

and his sons Uday and Qusay Hussein, well here they are below in the pre and post mortem gallery

[Show as slideshow]

Iraqi state TV showed images of Saddam Hussein going to the gallows before dawn in a building his intelligence services once used for executions.

video of Saddam Husseins hanging from Google

apparently, there is an investigation into Saddam Hussein being treated badly before his execution by being allowed to hear the people he tortured for so long talking shit to him… go figure… and I bet the UN has established a 5 Million dollar fund to find those 25,000 culprits involved.. go get em.

however, his surviving family is still as twisted as ever with this comment from the daughters

They felt very proud as they saw their father facing his executioners so bravely

You can’t beat a family bond… not even with whips, chains and weapons of non-mass destruction

Every now and then, I find a site in pursuit a worthy goal, today I found walktostopexecutions

src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_MvNZ-j3XtPk/Rwa029OaINI/AAAAAAAAADw/_UJZ8Ntr_Qc/s320/Aqeela+with+sign.JPG" title="abolish executions in california" alt="abolish executions in california" align="left" height="240" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="320" />This is an site that organizes walks to shed light on the current situation of the Death Penalty cases and Executions in the US.

No matter if you are pro capital punishment or against it, the fact still remains that innocent people have been and still are put to death and if the government can not distunguish between the two, then maybe they need to reconsider the death penalty untill they can assure the public that every single person on Death Row is in fact guilty.

The following is from walktostopexecutions as the answer to the question of why they do this walk by Jeff Ghelardi.

I walk for Anthony Porter,
found innocent and set free
from death row
after 21 years of agony.
And for others like him.

I walk for Bill Pelke,
who lost his grandma to murder,
and who now devotes his life
to fighting the death penalty.
And for others like him.

I walk for the guilty on death row,
the pawns of macho politics.
I walk for the innocent on death row;
may they someday follow Anthony.
I walk for the innocent killed on death row;
may there be no more like them.

I walk for all the abolitionists;
you are the conscience of the community;
may you fight on ‘til justice is won.

I walk to Sacramento for our leaders there.
May their better angels emerge
so that politics give way to justice.
And for our leaders across America,
so that the iron doors of all death chambers
shall be locked and sealed tight, forever.

So what was this ladies crime? did she kill someone? kidnap? stab her mother? rob the minimart (I hear you get shot for that one)? show her face… or god forbid her leg in public?  nope… she did the what comes naturally to most humans… sexuality… in her case… she was married, so they say.

The woman who got the execution of being hung from the crane in public… well she cheated on the hubby.Maybe he was abusive, maybe he just plain sucked in bed, or maybe he was just not the person she ever, ever wanted to be with in her life… but none of that matters now does it?

I still do wonder what happens to a man for the same thing? do they chop off his nuts or what?

I know that many countries are a bit behind the times and have not yet come to realize that people do not always get along… nor do they “stay in love”.. we all wish that we would… but as always shit happens!

but now read the part below..

“Many brain washed Pasdar and Basij raped female prisoners. By law of Islamic Regime of Ayatollahs virgin girls if executed will be blessed into the heaven. They are raped, before execution.”

hmm, let me get this straight now… rape a virgin… and said virgin goes to heaven… or does the rapist? hell, not really sure on that one..

But one thing I do remember is the story a bit back about a lady stoned to death for the same thing and the global opposition to it… not that it helped her in the end… I think.  Now come on people… move into the modern ages!

and… some sick shit galleries of the cheating ladies hung by the neck… in public till death!

Here is a list of US states that allow the death penalty with a list of crimes that hold the death penalty as acceptable punishment.

1. During World War I anyone found to be a homosexual in the French army was executed.

2. Hundreds of years ago in Japan anyone who attempted to leave the country was instantly executed…. I wonder if thats what the poor bastards in the picture to the right did?

And we can not forget the real or fictition one from Indonesia ( I do not know which) regarding execution for masturbation.
