@electroexecutee It`s too easy to find the truth, just have to put correct words in google, like @Nadiaaymone or @piquilinares. At the beginning i say it's real to estimulate the discussion. So now, clearly it`s a reenactment, i would be like to stop with speculations about if is truth or not and start to have a constructive discusion about death penalty. I'm sure you have valid opinion about that. Regards

wtf is real??

[kineofilms]

absolutely real

[Lucito77]

Funny that he had to go to Mexico to film it...

does anyone knows why?

[kineofilms]

Is not Mexico, Auburn Correctional Facility is a state prison located on State Street in Auburn, New York. The first state prison in N.Y. and the prison where was the site of the first execution via electric chair in 1890.

@kineofilms Read the opening shot.

"Location: Studio, N.Y.C." Since when have

executions been performed in studios?

The chair doesn't look like the Auburn

chair either.

IMDb plot: This early docudrama shows Auburn Prison and recreates the electrocution of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley of the United States. Some versions offer additional footage at the beginning which shows McKinley on the day of his assassination followed by scenes from his funeral.

Exteriors: Auburn Prison. Rest: NY Studios. Obviously was a reenactment man. Was an early ducudrama filmed by Porter, the problem is that it was used in a politcian way.

[christhedukeofdork]

the morale of the story is if you want to kill somone then go to california, they dont give a crap

[TheCitizenfitz]

Someone obviously doesn't know the difference between killing and murder.

[yryriza]

@kineofilms Used in a political way like your faggot description (murder is never the solution)

[yryriza]

@misantropo87 This was a re enactment of the execution. Don't listen to this idiot kineofilms. He is trying to spread his beliefs on you. That is the mark of an asshole.

what is this a wisconsin protestor

[THExMADxHATT3R]

the studio isnt where he was executed, it was where they developed the video.

[davidgrahamscott]

it's kind of cute the way he rises up and down with the electricity surges.

[davidgrahamscott]

@electroexecutee Wouldn't you? I certainly would have.

I truly wish we would continue to execute the SCUM BAGS on death row with the electric chair. Too bad this country has too many HUG-A-THUGGS. These animals rap, molested and committed murder, but yet SCUM BAG LOVERS want to cry about inmTE RIGHTS. I HOPE SOME DAY those criminal lovers become the victims.

[juono123]

I wish the SCUM BAGS waiting on death row would be executed the same way.
