Public Execution at Bar- Beach, Lagos (Victoria Island) It was no laughing matter in Lagos when eight Nigerian robbers were executed

Public Execution at Bar- Beach, Lagos (Victoria Island)


It was no laughing matter in Lagos when eight Nigerian robbers were executed; but this one made light of the situation as a priest prayed for him seconds before he faced the firing squad. 


About 30,000 people watched the Executions, bring the number to 70 people who have been executed since the death penalty for armed robbery was introduced in January last year. Date: 9th September, 1971.

U.S. Army Hangman John C. Woods Intentionally Botched Nazi Executions To Ensure Their Agonizing Deaths John C. Woods lied to the U.S. Army and got them to promote him to the position of the official hangman of the Nazis at Nuremberg — and he made sure they suffered as they died. adoc-photos/Corbis/Getty ImagesJohn Clarence Woods (1911-1950), American executioner during the Nuremberg executions. In 1946. (Photo by ) There are few tears shed anywhere in the world for the 10 Nazi war criminals hanged by Master Sergeant John C. Woods after their conviction at the Nuremberg Trials following World War II. Of the 10 men he was charged with hanging, quite a few of them weren’t killed by a broken neck, which is how a hanging is supposed to work. Instead, several of the convicted Nazis died a slow death by strangulation at the end of Woods’ noose. One Nazi, Field Marshall Wilhelm Keital, reportedly took a full 28 agonizing minutes to die. One might say that M/Sgt. Woods was bad a...

On February 1, 2021, a snow-shoveling dispute between neighbors escalated beyond belief — and led to the deaths of three people

Image
On February 1, 2021, a snow-shoveling dispute between neighbors escalated beyond belief — and led to the deaths of three people James and Lisa Goy of Plains Township, Pennsylvania were clearing snow from their driveway and dumping it on the property of Jeffrey Spaide, who lived across the street from them. Spaide, a decorated Navy veteran who usually kept to himself, asked the couple to stop. But when they didn't, the dispute became violent. After the Goys and Spaide shouted numerous obscenities at each other, Spaide retreated into his home — and emerged with a pistol. He then began firing shots at the Goys as they continued to scream expletives at him. Lisa Goy collapsed on the snowy street, while her husband unsuccessfully tried to crawl toward the couple's home. Spaide went back inside his house, but he wasn't done yet. He returned with an AR-style rifle, which he used to "execute" the Goys at point-blank range before taking his own life

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. Here are some images containing Graphic content visual material that is considered disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate. images from Execution of torturers and violence.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

 An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941 An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German a...

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009 Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned...
