    There is a huge amount of torture and execution videos on the internet such as beheading, hangings, burning, slow slicing, drowning and any other method of death that you can imagine, it just shows what kind of cruelty humans are capable of. Have you ever seen any of these videos or have seen photograps?
    One of the most gruesome videos I have watched is where islamic state captured a military base and sticked like 50 heads of the soldiers on the fence.

    You would want to be really disturbed to enjoy watching an execution

    I'm of the opinion once seen cant be unseen. I dont want to have to deal with a memory of something so unpleasant so I avoid.

    There seems to be a high amount of people then as during executions in many countries the family of the victim sit down in a private room and watch it, that is in the United States. Iran on the other hand performs hangings in public on cranes usually and they have huge crowds there. Yes human are messed up.

    Seen a lot of grim stuff online but never an execution video. I feel given the victims have already suffered the indignity of having their last moments broadcast online, the very least I can do is not watch.

    I've never seen any thankfully. I remember in about 98 when the internet was relatively new, in college we looked at rotten.com a few times with some morbid fascination. It took me a long time to forget some of those images, Jesus Christ, murder scenes etc. Not pleasant. I would never look at anything like that now.

    Even people in Ireland start demanding public executions when they see an article about some guy killing a group of people, most of the humans are messed up around the world and enjoy watching deaths of others.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 171 ✭✭Gavinz


    Yeah, I've seen plenty of them at this stage.

    I did see one once, Mexican cartel lobbing a fella's head off. I have been disturbed by it ever since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,693 ✭✭✭Stigura


    Seen sh!t loads. Don't believe in hiding my head in the sand, personally.

    These days, however, I studiously avoid clicking on anything purporting to be the latest from daesh. F**k 'em. Who ever they are. I'll not give them the oxygen of another click.

    Public executions were once common, as was slavery

    I only watched one, it was from Benghazi when Gaddafi controlled Libya.
    On the news I heard how Gaddafi was going to massacre people in Benghazi, Gaddafi said there was a terrorism problem there. On Liveleak, there was this video from Benghazi, there were Al Qaeda flags up and a very large crowd gathered to witness a black Gaddafi mercenary who was executed and then beheaded.
    I lost total faith in the west and the claims the people of Benghazi had to be saved.
    Found it sad and ironic when the US consulate was later attacked in Benghazi, given they basically went in to remove Gaddafi and had assisted terrorists in doing so.
    The western intervention led to thousands of deaths.

    Not in the middle east. Plenty of videos on YouTube of public hangings.

    A mate sent me a link a while back to a gore site. 3 rd picture down was a crime scene where a 8 year old had been shot. That was the end of that.

    Why would anyone want to watch or view these sort of things. It took me quite a while to get the image mostly out of my head. So my advice is not to bother.

    Fascinating, care to elaborate?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,998 ✭✭✭Satriale


    Yea, i've seen a few and while horrified, i'm glad i did. It's shaken me somewhat out of my cosy little candyfloss world where everyone has a smile and a nice word.

    I'd guess most people in our little country dont realise or want to know how bad men really can be.

    I think one of the reasons they stopped public executions was the large numbers that wanted to attend. The modern view that people shouldn't look at these is a bit at odds with the experience of humanity. History is steeped in blood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,691 ✭✭✭XsApollo


    Watched one of the public beheadings in Saudi Arabia.

    Animals.

    You don't need to watch gore to know what is happening around the world. Don't mistake ignorance mixed with a bit of shock entertainment as being aware about what is going on around the world.

    Anyway no I don't. I think every time we click on it it's another little win for Isis or whoever else is interested into broadcasting their brutality. They make it and like good little sheep some lap it up.

    Years ago a friend of mine gave me a compilation video of different executions, never watched it. Had never seen anything like that until literally minutes ago I stumbled across a gif of a guy being shot in the back of the head over on Reddit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,748 ✭✭✭Avatar MIA


    No, and fcuk no.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,162 ✭✭✭MadDog76


    I've a fairly strong stomach and I've been no stranger to violence, extreme violence at times, throughout my life but I overheard the audio to one of these videos (brother was watching one) and that alone was enough for me to know I don't need to watch any of this sick material .......... they're filmed for a reason by these animals and, if you're watching them, you're validating those reasons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,434 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Nah. Who needs it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    Seen a few of the Mexican ones. And that one with the Jordanian pilot.

    Reinforces to me how lucky I am to live in Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,091 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Many years ago guy said "you have to see what happens here" 'twas an execution video of some poor American hostage maybe 10 years ago.
    I watched the lads talking their rubbish and really thought maybe someone was going to bust in and stop it or they were just going to scare the guy.

    But no, they ran the blade under the guys chin fairly slowly too. The sounds of him bubbling and groanong was horrendous, something that I wish I haddnt seen.

    Worried me a bit that the guy I worked with wasn't bothered by it. His logic was that they guy wasn't any more beheaded by him watching it and definitely no less by me not wanting to see it.
