7 hangings - 6 more to go.




Seven members of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult which carried out a deadly chemical attack on the Tokyo underground in 1995 have been executed, including cult leader Shoko Asahara.

The Sarin attack, Japan's worst terror incident, killed 13 people and injured thousands more.

The executions took place at a Tokyo detention house on Friday morning.

Japan does not give prior notice of executions, but they were later confirmed by the justice ministry.

Shoko Asahara, 63, and his followers were also accused of several other murders and an earlier Sarin gas attack in 1994 which killed eight and left 600 injured.

Their execution, by hanging, had been postponed until all those convicted had completed their final appeals. That happened in January.

Another six members of the cult are still on death row.

Injured victims and the families of those killed have welcomed the executions.

"I reacted calmly... But I did feel the world had become slightly brighter," said Atsushi Sakahara, a film director who was caught in the attack.

"It will be impossible to ever forget the incident, but the execution brings a kind of closure."
What was the Tokyo attack?

On 20 March 1995, cult members released the Sarin on the subway in the Japanese capital. They left punctured bags filled with liquid nerve agent on train lines going through Tokyo's political district.

Witnesses described noticing the leaking packages and soon afterwards feeling stinging fumes hitting their eyes.

The toxin struck victims down in a matter of seconds, leaving them choking and vomiting, some blinded and paralysed. Thirteen people died.

Gawd.....now look what you have done!  Bobby has messed his pants.

Why?

Cutting someone to pieces is a bit gruesome don't you think?

Bobby. wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 9:48pm:


No more gruesome than hanging, chopping off heads, electrocution etc. I imagine being sliced through from shoulder to hip would result in severe loss of blood pressure and almost immediate brain blackout unless it's the blood that makes you squeamish.

Setanta wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 9:57pm:



Yes - all that blood gushing out making a huge mess
that needs hours to mop up isn't too pleasant.

That's gross Setanta.
Please remove that pic.

Setanta - you've ruined my thread.
This was about the fun and excitement of a good hanging not
grotesque pictures of a head blown in half.

Setanta wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 10:32pm:



But they put curtains around the bottom of
the gallows so people don't see that part.

Bobby. wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 10:31pm:


No Christian goes to a hanging to see a man dance, boy. We goes to see his head blown in half.

Read your Marshall McLuhan, Bobby. The medium is the message.

No way - In Karnal county we has ourselves some rope dancin every Saturday night -  yeee  haaaa.

I might post those every time you post a movie hanging video just to offset clean faked up movies with reality.

Setanta wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 10:32pm:


Of course its grotesque. If you want to count the ways, go ahead. I suppose that passes for an argument in some circles. What does Greg do? In his wisdom he accuses Bobby of a sexual arousal. What a genius of debate. But those being executed in this case, have been infinitely more grotesque than any state execution. What is society supposed to do with them? Take care of them until they die of natural causes? How is that moral? How is that justice? Simply because no one in the humanist camp believes they have the right to be executioner? Abortion is OK, but execution of mass-murderers is not.

Why do want to ruin my hang em high fun?

Hi Issue,
thanks for your support against all the progressives like Greggy.

issuevoter wrote on Jul 6^th, 2018 at 10:50pm:


What the hell you talking about, boy? Sexual arousal?

Each man danglin on a rope already got hisself bred befored he got strung up. We breed our boys good in this county, that's for sure.

Ain't no man on a tree who don't have an asshole full of white men's sperm, hot dog.

Violent movies are OK with you though?

No way - he said that out of his own heart.

Every man with a hangover says that. Put him on the gallows and he talks.

Aks your preacher.

Is that why them Americans strung up them black people? They have rhythm?

Damn right - when faced with death the truth comes out.

Damn right we are -

now let's get us a lynch mob happening.

There's always another one who needs a good Christian hangin.

Was that really necessary Set?

Its not really support. When various dweebs accuse Greg of homosexuality, I see that as stupid too. And you all know who you are.

But he is a bit gay -
not that there's anything wrong with that.

Capital punishment does not make the state a "murderer." That claim is a combination of sophistry and sanctimonious moralising. Nor is it intended to solve the problem of crime in society. Explain why the state should take care of these individuals until they die of natural causes.

Bobby. wrote on Jul 7^th, 2018 at 8:55am:


Get away with what?

It's a question.

You have an extremely unhealthy fascination with capital punishment.

And, considering the amount of posts you make about it (along with the sexual innuendos in many of them), it's not unreasonable to think that it might be a sexual fetish.

So, do you?

I haven't played CSS in years... Great Game...

BOOOM!! Headshot.!! 

No notice of execution...  (hmmmm)....

Damned things let out a stink after a week or so. Smell worse'n Big Hole after a night partyin with the boys.

You wants my advice, cut em down when they're done. A good night's hangin gits followed by a hard day's buryin, that's God's truth right there.
