Beheading

Don't they carry out mock executions on them many times before the actual day?

The poor bastards have probably been brought out, made read their lines and had a knife held to their throat a few times and don't realise that this is actually it. They're going to die today.

Would explain the calmness.

Oh god I probably didn't need to know this That's so messed up.

Here's an eyewitness account of France's last guillotining in September 1977.

It's written by a Judge.

This man is going to die, he knows it; he knows that he can do nothing but delay the end by a few minutes. And he became almost like a child that will do anything to delay bedtime! A child who knows that he will be treated indulgently, and who makes use of it. The prisoner continued to drink his rum, slowly, in little sips.

I read the OP and thought it was a new reg starting a thread. Then I saw it's a poster who's been here since 2008. Moments like this would really make you lose all hope for humanity.

Because he's supposed to have learned something from posting on here?

That's adorable

I saw Cameron banging the war drum earlier on tonight, rattling on about bringing the scum who beheaded David Haines to Justice.

He referred to Haines as a British hero but where the fcuk was Camerons conviction to send a rescue team at some point in the last 7 months and prevent this horrible torturous death.

I know the topic of this thread is discussing the act of beheading itself but I guess I needed to rant.
The whole thing is absolutely sick and I think Cameron was purposely fanning flames. Cue the misguided racist attacks on muslims in Britain. And I'm not optimistic that this'll be the last beheading we hear about in the next few weeks either.

Who knows what negotiations were going on? I doubt these groups are too willing to engage, although I suspect they may take money to release a hostage, given there was a mention that the family couldnt legally try gather funds to secure his release.

In any event I dont think a rescue attempt would achieve much, even if it was possible to pin down a location, which Id suspect is very difficult if not impossible, Id say they know well enough to not carrying or turning on mobile phones or even transmitting anything using even a secured radio,

Any rescue would be over hostile territory, could be used to ensnare a rescue or down any aircraft, of which helicopters would be needed and very vulnerable to missles, rpgs and AA guns, the latter of which cant really be defeated. Add to that, they could easily have moved him around or execute him at the last moment on the appearance of any rescue attempt.

I do think certain govts should keep their beaks out of certain places, as they are only fanning the flames of instability and war. Not long ago the British were supporting these types along with France and the US and their other allies in the region, they've armed some of them and who knows how many weapons have been released into their hands?
Gaddaffi and Assad dont look so bad from what I can see, at least their was some form of stability and they held control, whats going on now?? chaos, but thats what some elements seem to want, divide and conquer, defeat their opposition without firing a shot, having innocents murdered seems to suit some agenda of those involved except those trying to achieve peace, stability and normality.

Fyi it isn't one clean swipe like you've seen in Game Of Thrones or whatever, I haven't watched any of the videos but from what I've heard it took quite a bit of hacking to get through the spine, with quite a bit of gargled screaming from the victim....

Jesus lads. Why the fcuk would anyone want to watch that:eek:
