  • He should have oiled that screw better?

  • what does it do to him. How does it kill him?

  • @darkfarie94 It crushes his windpipe.

  • @darkfarie94 the cone at the end of the screw sever the 2nd and 3rd vertebra and crush the spinal cord

  • Por el que más pena siento es por el verdugo, que ya el pobre tenga que hacer este macabro oficio creo que tiene que tragar mucho para hacer lo que tiene que hacer y sin rechistar, y encima le pagan por eso, que seguro que cuando le pagan se indigna de eso.

  • Itzulpena:

    Krudelkeria heriotza autoritarioa penalti lotutako iruzur honek arrazoi bat Espainia aukeratu heriotza zigorra indargabetzeko 1978an Espainian berriki bihurtu ondoren, konstituzio-monarkia demokrazia parlamentario bat da.

  • Traducción: Este engaño de la crueldad asociada con pena de muerte autoritario es una de las razones de que España decidió abolir la pena de muerte en 1978 después de que España convertido recientemente en una democracia parlamentaria con una monarquía constitucional.

  • This deception of cruelty associated with authoritian death penalty is one reason that Spain chose to abolish the death penalty in 1978 after Spain recently become a parliamentery democracy with a constituional monarchy.

  • you people have to read about SALVADOR PUIG ANTICH

  • ADEU ESPANYA ! !

    VISCA CATALUNYA INDEPENDENT

    MARC SABATES

  • He died fast. Lucky bastard!

  • @VoelligHarmlos you are the biggest idiot I've ever seen. Wish you were killed by that shit

  • @CAT17142014 How can you write such an ugly statment. You haven´t even seen me yet. ;-)

  • oh noooo they killed Fredrick Zoller from inglourious basterds

  • nothing to do with reality but it obvious regarding current politics is Spain

  • Oh it's Daniel Brühl.... :) I don't know about torture. But this seems not so much suffering... Just suffocating. And it doesn't last too long.

  • @Jerk2127 You should read something about what garrote vil was..

    

  • @LadyNaley I will surely one day :)

  • Fuck fascism and fuck nationalism. The only people this should happen to are the authoritarians and their unthinking, obedient drones.

  • this is not a akind of execution.

    This is toture to death.

    They could have done better with an axe (George Westinghouse 1890 )

  • Es curioso como son siempre los mismos los que se ponen de parte del asesino en vez de parte de las víctimas.

  • I dont like executions but Puig was an antifascist and i dont cry for him. Folk like hin destroy the nationalistic Spain.

  • esto de que pelicula es?

  • En la pelicula lo hacen morir a la primera, pero segun mi profesora de historia, su abogado afirma que estubo mas de 30 minutos con convulsiones y luego murio. Porque eso era de talla unica y si eras mas bajo o mas alto no morias en el acto.

  • @lesjomo si en la pelicula le llegan a dar combulsiones o no muere en el acto yo me hubiera desmayado... a mi me a encantado pero esta escena me resulto muy dura, ni siquiera pude acabar de ver la escena... y el verdugo es acojonante.

  • seams like an inexpensive means of execution. all You need is a C-clamp, a broom closet, and, a chainsmoker Who looks like George. W. Bush.

  • @7jocco 

  • inhuman bastards!

  • @alraune6666 Tell me about it, they should have tortured him first and made his execution as painful as possible for his inhuman acts of violence

  • Can someone please tell me where this movie is about?

  • @Hytjeie This is about an antifranquist movement member in Catalonia, they robbed banks and once he was in a firing between police and his group where a police was killed and he was accused of killing him (it is not clear if he was guilty or not) and was punished to capital penalty by garrote vil. This video has a lenght of 4 minutes and shows how he goes to the chamber, is tied and executed, the real execution took near 20 minutes from the beginning of the screwing of his neck until he died.

  • @CapitanJamesTCook Ah, Thanks for telling me!

  • What do they say at 3:40 - 3:54?

    What is it about?

    Please tell me!

  • @LindyZimmer Spanish'm not English, the translator of google I write, more or less

    says "sons of bitches," "Franco son of a bitch" it gives me the creeps

  • Comment removed

  • That's a hell of a way to go.

  • i like bunnies

  • y cuantos obreros fueron matados en el valle de los caidos

  • y otro pa Carrero Blanco

  • un mojón pa Franco

  • The execution looks like it takes place in a storeroom and the executioner stopped off on his way to get a liter of milk.

  • Comment removed

  • to the nwo

  • ese cerdo anarquista no tubo compasion cuando mato a un humilde contable de un banco y a otras personas...COMUNISTAS MALDITOS.

  • このシーン、泣いた

  • @reenitomomo 本当の話。。。。子供の時に覚えてるね。。。雑誌で読みました。

  • ugh man just shoot me

  • This redefines cruel and unusual punishment.

  • if you can't do the time, don't do the crime, I say!

  • subs would've been nice.

    and i'm sure it depended who turned the screw, who got the sentence and what he had done all made a difference in the speed of which the device was operatted.

    oh well, if you think this is bad, had a look at all the different torture devices that were used in the dark ages.

    Thank goodness they don't do that anymore. Although I think gassing people, or some types of injections may be just as bad.

    one solution: ban all death penalties. Prison and hard labour is better

  • @jakke1975

    salvador: what a shit... this is really shit! (to the officer:) congratulations you have achieved it at least.

    executioner: ok ok... lets go on an finish it fast. put him right here! (to salvador:) ill cover your eyes.

    (to the officers:) ok, please... make some place!!!

    colonel: is there something you want to say before....??? is there something you....?

    executioner: so, this is done...

    bearded officer: son of a bitch...

    colonel: shut up!

    bearded oficcer: sons of bitches!!!

  • colonel: shut the fuck up!!

    bearded officer:sons of bitches!!!

    colonel: shut up!!! take him out of here!!

    bearded officer: sons of bitches!!!! SALVADOR!!!

  • god how many films are there with german directors and/or cast???

  • Killers, bastard killers!!!! The States and the men  who kills the prisoners are worst than the wolves, only bastard killers!!!!!!!!

  • @teverona So the people that exicute poeple are worse then murders? and why dont you like wolves?

  • what the fuck kind of execution is this!!

  • @montyu2365 The garotte. Spain was the last country to use it in the 1970s. But I believe that the movie makes it worse than it was. They turned that screw much faster so that it was similar to a hanging. Additionally, if you notice, there was also a back screw to break the spine in the modern garotte. The old ones just strangled the condemned by twisting a rope..

    That dude Puig actually killed a policemen and was executed.

  • @ elmismkeviste tu mama si pendejo moro de mierda jajajaja que risa me das!

  • There isn`t countries that still do this is there?

  • Asi merecen morrir los putos espa?oles de mierda. Jajaja mueran perros!

  • @chanoci Tú das muchísimo asco,eso es lo que das ¡¡¡hijo de la gran puta¡¡¡

  • Beheading is the most humane way of execution.

  • Se podriían haber metido el 'jodido' garrote en el culo estos fascistas de mierda.

  • lol

    

  • @nickshehan89 I don't see how it's funny?

  • @riggerrogger101 It's funny because you touch yourself at night

  • @nickshehan89 Immature...

  • @riggerrogger101 Your welcome

  • Я не понимаю, как можно восхвалять обычного уголовника? Он стрелял по полицейским и был справедливо казнён.

  • Why was the bearded guard getting in a flap at the end. Not seen the whole movie but in the trailer he was giving him a nasty beating in a cell. Oh and i thought later garottes were designed to push against the spine at same time, the crank turned fast and the neck snapped not slow suffocation. The actor was not looking boggle eyed and blue from apoplexy at end but rather tranquil.

  • I appreciate this video and what it tries to achieve. Nonetheless it felt wrong clicking ‘Like’.

  • @Rascaduanok What this video should be trying to achieve is saying that cold-blooded murderers ought to suffer the same fate that their victims were forced to. This man was a horrible person. I hope you know what he did.

  • @organist12345 Yes, read my other comment a little bit further down. And no, he did nothing in ‘cold blood’.

  • a tool of atrocious death of Spain

  • La peine de mort est barbare mais ce moyen est sadique et inhumain ! Barbare de chez barbares.

  • what did he do so bad to deserve this anyway and what time is this based on

  • @Samuel115s Based on the execution of Salvador Puig Antich, a Catalan revolutionary who was caught in a police ambush and accused of murdering a police officer. They did not listen to his pleas that his gun went off while the police were busy beating him! Last ever recorded execution by Garrotte, and Joan Miró explicitly linked his triptych painting ‘Hope of a Man Condemned to Death’ with Antich’s execution.

  • Why not just shoot the poor bastard?

  • There...you,ve said it.I merely have "personal views " while you are obviously an authority on this subject.You have no direct relativism on the subject because you are not inexorably linked to any such crime where as a matter of fact i am.Ergo ; you are not even remotely entitled to spout such utter CRAP . Your word salad is poor too.

  • Of course, if someone killed my sister I would of course do my best to kill that person. I honestly don't see what good forgiving the person would do.

    Anyway, this is not a garrotte. A garrotte uses a wire.

  • Some of the murders by the German BND, the ex GESTAPO, known to the public:

    Uwe Barschel (politician), Jürgen Möllemann (politician), Heiner Gehring (author), Martina Pflock (political activist), Tron (internet activist), Karl Koch (political/internet activist), Bernd Seiffert (human rights activist), Kirsten Heisig (author/judge), Fritz Bauer (persecutor of the Frankfurt Auschwitz processes), Markus Bott (human rights activist).

    Google the names and check out my channel and homepage.

  • Always no to all death penanlties.

    -.

  • Please!!! In name of GOD... In English Pleassse!!!! IN ENGLISH...

    Thank you in advance...

  • @Ddato1985 why should everyone have to speak English just for you?

  • @organisten

    Well, as long as I do not speak in Spanish (unfortunately) I wanted to get the point of the speech. I wish, I could speak in Spanish and German but I cannot. Actually, I was going to learn it, but I wanted to get pure, Castilian Spanish classes but could not. we got here (in New York) only Mexican and Latino Spanish and they do not seem to me being that nice as pure Spanish. So please, stop being so rude to me...

    p.s. check your grammar

  • Listen to me you ignorant twat ; you might choose this forum to voice your petty Liberalist "i've been to college and i know what libertarian politics are......" voice but Reality is a whole different world.You have no right to judge me unless you've sufered 8 years of sleepless nights and the last memory of your child is her screaming in my ears for her daddy to help her.You make me puke .Your the kind of slimy dickhead who'd get a law dgree just to Defend cunts like this .You r a DISGRACE.

  • @poulsontheprick

    Ok you get your revenge, but the person you killed has a brother. He kills one of your other family members. Will you keep killing eachother on a revenge murder? Your daughter would want you to be happy instead being angry. If there is a heaven and you saw her again, what would you say to her? "Guess what I killed a man"? The ones the who forgive have more strength than the ones who hate. I'm prepared for you to say awfull things to me. But I have made MY life worth living.

  • @RavenFeathers99 I'm a rational human being but you are a fool .I choose not to believe in God .Thats my right .I also do not have to agree with your religious utopian falsehoods.I choose REVENGE .

  • @poulsontheprick

    Well I hardly consider myself religious. And i actually think Utopia would be terrible. Since I can't change your mind I'm going to say thankyou for being a revengefull person. Because if everybody were kind and practical, then we WOULD have utopia. A perfect world would make some of us go utterly insain.

  • @RavenFeathers99 Yeah ! Piss off !

  • @poulsontheprick Killing the person who kill your child will not bring your child back. Your just taking the life of someone else's child, just like they did to you. Call it animal instinct if you will but we as humans try to rise above it. But if another death makes you feel better then that's your problem not mine. BTW calling yourself rational and justifying it by saying you don't believe in god when the other person never voiced any such belief isn't .. well rational.

  • @LeMightySabre Piss off you patronising fuck !I'm not taking anyones life ; just u remember that.Try and get a grip on REALITY.And another thing if you can't handle crime and punishment then your in the wrong Hostel bub .

  • @poulsontheprick I didnt mean to piss you off. Jeeze. lol Calm down high speed. More and more of the world are starting to see the truth on this matter besides you and a few others like the religious lot in the mideast. Go live there and die for committing adultery and everything else since you think so highly of the method. Solves nothing except fuels revenge. It is you who are in the wrong hostel, not I, that is, if you are indeed from Europe or certain parts of North America.

  • @LeMightySabre If you didn't mean to piss me off then your OBVIOUSLY out of touch with reality.Listen , its NOT revenge to remove a CANCER from a community is it ?Or would you rather let child molestors and paedophiles roam free after a couple of years in jail giving them an education and more time to fantasise.Your compulsion to idealise everyone in society is a reflection of your youth.I thought like you once...believe me ...its admirable but it doesn't work.Your a foolish child .

  • @poulsontheprick Being out of touch with reality does not walk hand in hand with being out of step with your personal views. A society can actually be pro-child molester in our sense as in the case of the middle east where men can take on young children as wives in which case they are not viewed as cancer. But at the same time they will stone you if you commit adultery where here we dont. It comes down to cultural relativism. I may be a bit of an idealist but you sir are no realist.

  • @LeMightySabre Screw you, sissy. Murder ought to be met with consequences. If you don't have to stomach for it, then so frigging be it.

    Yes, another death WOULD make me feel better in response to a murder.

  • @fiocchiman So should we rape the rapists, disember theifs from their hands, like we kill the killers? You do not belong in the 21st Century and your blood lust is fueled by animal instinct for revenge. Evolve a little like the rest of modern society, otherwise go live in the middle east. They can stone you for heresy then and I'm sure you would be fine with that and I'm also sure they have the "guts" as you call it to do the deed. You poor misguided uneducated outdated fool I feel sorry 4 u.

  • @LeMightySabre You do not belong in a position to be aware of or influence any type of action, as you have not the courage to maintain a societal standard.

    MY country executes murderers and a few states still execute rapists. My dream job is to be a traveling hangman who helps rid society of low trash that doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as those of us who choose not to victimize others.

    You poor cowardly and sheltered soul........

  • @fiocchiman Maintaining social order does not need to involve killing, it needs to involve re-education. Europe is a prime example of that. Who decides the social standard in each given society when thanks to globalization, we are constantly being mixed together? I suppose YOU will lol. In some societies child molestation is the norm, honor killing for adultery etc. You still rest on the standards of cultural relativism in a world that will one day be without borders. ur country sux. 

  • @fiocchiman Dream job hey? Whatever turns you on sweety. However outrageous their crimes, most murderers commit their crimes under pressure of circumstances and in the heat of the moment. No decent person would volunteer their services to kill for the state. You must be a real pervert.

  • Hes in Inglorius Basterds!!

  • Spain used this primitive barbaric device till 1974.....

  • das wäre doch die richtige strafe für kinderschänder

  • Killing others for killings others is no way to teach others not to kill.

  • Nobody deserves to die that way, absolutely nobody.

    There isn't any valid moral justification of capital punishment. Capital punishment is nothing but murder decided and carried out by the state.

  • @HappyDay989 The wanker who interfered with my kids should suffer this ,so your wrong.

  • @poulsontheprick : Would this bring your child back or would that just satisfy your primitive lust for vengeance and blood, so to speak "the caveman inside of you."?

  • Such a beautiful and impressive movie. It made me cry.

  • To British eyes this is horrible simply because. Do you get me? 1970s western Europe ffs.

  • La sauvagerie d'un régiment moribond! Une horreur sans nom!

  • This clip made me LOL

  • @4everparky We all hope it's you next. Hooray !!!!

  • Oh if I were Dictator. I wouldn't have people executed except for extreme circumstances. It would always be public therefore only scum so hated that it would be unanimously accepted. I would graciously reform them for life along with the common criminals in the prison factories and farms to pay for the prison system, all the damage they caused, restitution to victims, police salaries, the cultural improvement program, and whatever else needs extra funding. Everybody wins!

  • why execution in some kind of storage room?

  • Juan Antonio Samaranche, head of the International Olympic Commitee, this was his favourite sport while Governor of Barcelonca during the Franco years. Murdering shit. But we are not allowed to say this because of the great work he did for the Olympic Games. Nazi Bastard that he was. He's dead now. HOORAY !!!!!!!

  • La escena está debieradamente dramatizada para intentar enfatizar el caracter cruel e injusto de la sentencia. En realidad, la ejecución fue rapidísima y creo que el reo no debió de sufrir nada.

  • @singularismo Teoricamente, el garrote vil mataba de forma instantanea al partirte el cuello. Por desgracia, eso era solo en teoria. La gran mayoría de las veces, antes de llegar a eso, la muerte se producía por asfixia, tras varios minutos de apretar el cuello. En algunos casos tardaban en morir media hora. En el caso de Salvador, tardó 20 minutos en morir. (Inició ejecución a las 9:20, hora de la muerte 9:40). Al contrario, han reducido el drama para no herir al espectador.

  • @tommylehman It's comments like your's that truly portray the unintelligence and lack of common sense of most of the left. How can you say I know nothing about this, when I am yet one of the only people to know the truth about what this murderer really did?

    I guess after the hundred million you socialists murdered it doesn't really matter to you all. Not only do you not know how to run a country properly due to your ignorance, but you do not understand the sanctity of life. It is shameful and

  • @organist12345

    Forget the mention the millions you American scum have murdered ?

    **spits on your 9/11 memorial**

  • @Abasuto Again another mindless comment by an ignorant and deluded socialist. What makes you think I'm American? You leftists do love to speculate on things you don't know anything about.

    For the record, I'm not American. Get an education.

  • @Abasuto Judging by your channel you're the equivalent of an political science / arts major...or maybe that's too much of a compliment to your education. Quite a profound and redundant statement you made...

    Try putting some effort into an argument before you spit on 9/11 memorials you silly bitch. Thats like me spitting on the grave of every person killed when a tornado rips though MN (you are a US citizen retard).

  • I wonder about the sick bastards who VOLUNTEER to participate in executions like this.

  • Somebody told this guy is an "extremist". But even the Wikipedia article is telling that that charge against him was doubtful. He was framed without proof and a global protest resulted.

  • This was done by the orders of Franco, the demon. What less can you expect? But the dirty soul of that mass murderer was even worshiped by few, as he sided in favor of the USA.

  • @matieslliteras How can you be so ignorant?

    Are you yet another sick left wing extremist thug, who doesn't care about the lives of others, who commits the worst crimes, and who spreads terror across the land?

    Does murder mean nothing to you?

    This man committed murder. The punishment is death.

    Be ashamed of yourself.

  • @organist12345 you right wingers love to run your mouths on shit you know nothing about.

  • Un pais que se formo hace 300 años obligando a todos sus habitantes a ser otra cosa imponiendo su voluntad a la fuerza solo puede dar una cosa, ASCO!

  • Patria o muerte como puedes defender un pais que tan solo hace 300 años que existe y que se formo a la fuerza y que no deja a catalanes, gallegos, bascos, andaluces... ser lo que són y obligarles a ser españoles.ASCO!

  • This guy deserved nothing better. He had committed murder.

  • You are stupid. Before you say insane things like thisThink about it

  • me gusta su jersey

    por cierto, el tipo éste mató a un chaval de 23 años, pero claro, supongo que para vosotros hay muertos y muertos

  • worst way to die

  • 1979 when they banned that in Spain, even I was alive when they were pulling that shit - the Spanish church loved it - it was a favourite in the Philippines during their time there.

  • That wasn't very nice of them...

  • Ugly. It is ugly and I am horrified it happened until modern times.

  • thats some slow medieval execution bull crap.

  • En el moment que diu: "això sí que és una putada"...

    em vaig posar a plorar com mai. L'actor és boníssim, i la película molt ben feta.

    Salvador, descansi en pau

  • para mi es la escena más emotiva de la pelicula

  • SO? What is SO glorious about the human specie?

  • @MsSorin123 Entonces tu no mereces vivir,ya que defiendes a los que quitan vidas.Ademas yo no defiendo a los criminales,el que mate que lo pague con el sufrimiento y se pudra en la carcel.

  • firing squad is better not on that way garotte they will kill you and feel the pain slowly until you breathe gone that's horrible!!

  • @6digit The idea was to break the spine, damaging the spinal cord causing coma and eventually death but since it was a spanish invention, well it didn't work well and as you said, you felt all the pain and died of asphixia, but some deaths could take more than 15 minutes, and suprisingly it was prohibited only 37 years ago :/

  • In my personal opinion all of Franco's generals still alive should be executed in this way, now THAT would be TRUE JUSTICE! And Franco, you fucking nazi, fry in hell with an eternal flame, you scum!

  • Its actually a pretty funny video if you play the song "Barbie Girl" to it. It syncs up pretty well.

  • The heirs of the criminals francoists are the today members of the nationalist Partido Popular and their allies.

    Visca Catalunya Lliure!

  • Those who kill in cold blood should be put to death; as humanely and quickly as possible.

  • @antinotis

    One could conceive, then, that the same should hold true for executioners, judges, juries, and those who call for the death penalty. Personally, I think the cycle would end a lot faster if the people involved in committing executions would kill themselves, as well. There is nothing civilized, in my humble opinion, about capital punishment. Then again, in a world that is so completely awash with hatred, selfishness, greed, and corruption, is it really a surprise it still exists?
