Part 2 of 5 - How to Kill a Human Being - BBC Horizon

[pancakes3ful]

living is the greatest punisement execution is more for the people to be scared of the goverment and other people. There dead after so the pain not a big deal

[DurexDurpaneu2]

bbq!

[brenan6]

whats wrong with decapitation? that seems pretty quick and humane to me.

[TheChunkyKong]

@brenan6 Humane? you know that when right before your head is cut off... You can actually feel the blade cutting through all the nerves in your neck and cutting through your jugular. Not only that... But only the thought that your about to die... Is pretty fucking nerve recking... And when your head is chopped off... You don't instantly die, Believe it or not you can actually see for about 10 to 20 seconds before your actually "DEAD"...

[Metalmanmania357]

@The Chunky Kong The view through the eyes of a bodiless head......probably would give you a rather unique perspective on the world indeed.

[10rosegarden14]

They care about if the criminals that's going to be executed will suffer, but did the criminals cared about the poor victims that they have raped and cold-bloodedly murdered? That's not fair.

[soguuud]

How does "killing a human being" lead to JennaMarbles in the suggestion box?

[LeHuyAnh]

@soguuud It's 'cause either you or someone else watching this doc. was also recently checking out her vids. So "video suggestions" appear based on recent views or "tendencies". In any case, it's just Youtube stalking ppl and making assumptions. It's just as bad with Facebook ads.

Stop thehanging!

[Pandy2k]

Edisson is not the father of electricity

[topbluffa1]

@Pandy2k

Tesla is in my opinion.... Edisson was a fat rich thick idiot

[jtwidmer]

@DXSXDXSXD Sadly I think you're right.

[jtwidmer]

in all seriousness, not being a smart ass, why is it that we don't just put a bullet in the prisoners head from point blank range? I mean, its quick, comparatively its probably painless (due to how quick it is) so honestly, why not just do it that way?

good job google!

At 7:00, I'm on YouTube watching Michael Portillo watch YouTube.

[EpicViolinGuy]

The voltage doesn't necessarily matter. it's the current that does the killing. What was the current for that simulation?

[Woolfrey]

@EpicViolinGuy

That's the same thing I was thinking. They're trying to be scientific and yet they overlook *the* most important factor behind electrocution.

[NuculrSquirrel]

isnt 2 bullets to the head enough? hell make it 3 just to be sure.

[pyro5050]

i have always wondered why they do not just use an oxygen deprivation chamber... slowly decreasing the amount of oxygen until the person goes to sleep, and then they die in their sleep... or hell use carbon monoxide poisoning... it is odorless, tasteless and colourless and deprives you of oxygen... no pain again....

[sdflksdfkfh]

I don't really care if prisoners suffer, even greatly, in the moments before they're killed. I mean, what did they do to get themselves there? What horrible and horrific crimes did they commit? Even the ones who aren't guilty -- fuck 'em!!

[Chaingangsoldiernit]

@sdflksdfkfh really???? even non guilty ones? fucker

[4624tone]

12 guage in the mouth, seems to work well ive heard!

[Chuichupachichi]

See, that's what happens when a guy has a great job, as does this professional Pig Electrocuter... his love life becomes such that he compares the pig to a "typical woman"

I guess that instead of asking the women if they wanna go for a roll in the hay, he asks them if they wanna go for a roll in the mud

I wonder only that if the electricity heats up the pig pretty good, is that still considered Necro-Feeling-Ya?

[Chuichupachichi]

They're never going to win a BBQ competition by Q'ing whole hog with that method. Of course, its not anything that some good rub & mop sause couldn't help.

Who knows... with a few adjustments, Electrobarbeqution just might spread like wildfire... "wild ankle fire", that is?

[Madams1977]

Only in Britain could you get away with comparing a pig to a typical woman, lmao.

[cff121]

I wonder why they didn't use sponges at the ankle electrodes to improve conduction. Certainly that would have prevented the burning seen in the film.

[FollicleMiracle]

@cff121 I googled it and in a real execution, apparently a conductive jelly (Electro-Creme) is applied to the calves/ankles.

[Madams1977]

@cff121 yeah FollicleMiracle is right, they put the jelly on the legs during a true electrocution. There wouldn't be the sparks and flames like in this video. During most electrocutions there is little movement at all other than the natural contraction of muscles. However.. when it goes wrong it's horrible so I'm glad the electric chair has fallen out of use for the most part.

[joeworrall]

when we people learn, its not voltage that kills you.. its current. you can put both hands on a Van Der Graph generator that it 40,000 volts and it wont even harm you, only make your hairs stand on end as long as youre insulated.

[Madams1977]

@joeworrall That is absolutely correct, I have been hit with a 10,000 volt charge before and other than a slight ringing in my ears I was fine. However, and I'm not sure of the exact number, it takes very very few amperes of current to kill you.

[akoljrkdsf]

why cant he fin out how it feels? i mean he dont need to inject the lethal dose just the muscle relaxing dose and the other one

[FollicleMiracle]

@akoljrkdsf There wouldn't be much point using the anaesthetic, but yes he could use the paralysing drug. However, given the woman's testimony from part 1, 'like jet fuel in your veins' I'm not surprised Portillo didn't try it.

[GRAYDOG678]

you cock suckers

Poor elephant! Cruel.
