The HORRIFIC Execution Of France’s Last Public Guillotining 

That’s what I mean he murdered these poor people and women that mistook his actions as actual kindness, he was a slimy coward particularly getting off on taking the life of these women that did nothing to deserve it they were preyed on

I see what you did there . Take a like

Old

Haha

Patrick Donahue 😗😗😙🙃😅🤣😂🤣😅

They were a real cut above the rest 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello Clipgatherer - I have seen one of the films you spoke of sir . That is what I thought this would be when I noticed the thumbnail for the video . Maybe there should still be public executions . The public are where the victims come from . We house and feed the prisoners ,, we pay for the prisons and the guards . We foot the bill for everything . Also the public is outraged by what these criminals do , how many familys lives are ruined by these thugs .. So too many won't crowd into see the execution they could hold a lottery allowing only so many , in that way crowds would be supervised and controlled . What I have suggested probably sounds sick and deranged , yet I'll wager that many sane and normal people would attend if for no other reason than that of venting their disgust for the brutality and sorrow these pieces of human waste cause { I'd put in for the lottery } ... Take care Clipgatherer and God bless you & yours ...

I saw that video. It was amazingly efficient. Took 2 seconds. Body rolls off into the coffin, head in the basket. Much more humane than lethal injection and firing squad.

@@jeffwarren6906 Well said Jeff. I completely agree with your statement. We shall buy a lottery ticket together.

@@LaSouthernGemini - Hahahaha , whichever of us gets in the lottery line first will hold a place for the other .. Have a wonderful day Sir . P.S. - I as well am a Gemini ..

@@LaSouthernGemini if they sold tickets to see babies carved up on bacon slicers you pair of ghouls would be first in line.

He killed some people himself too.

💯

if it's in RU-vid , do you have the link??

@@s0meRand0m129 yes still up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jYu_LgO9260.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vzi9iE_jgfg.html

What is "like" 5 seconds, 4 or 6 seconds?

Same with Charlie Chaplin

Hitler copied Charlie Chaplin. He was a fan of his films.

at least he quit while he was a head !

I'm sure he thought of himself as a no body 🙄

@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 ....that's the price for sticking your neck out !

No wonder 😞

Well, in the basket he was beside himself.

Well he was very tall so managed to see above the crowd!!

He was a full “head” above the crowd!

In 1989 he played Charles Henri Sanson, the executioner during the French Revolution

It wasn't Christopher Lee. It was his father.

It was christopher lee

There are two films of this execution. I have seen Them Both here on RU-vid. Both you as you say, you dont see “anything”.

There is a picture of the decapitated blood soaked corpse without his head inside a wooden coffin with some French officials smiling for the camera. It's pretty macabre, but you can probably find it if you look hard enough.

@@winnienguyen4420 I have never seen that pic you are referring to. It surely was a different time than today. By the way I have seen a movie of a real execution from Indochina from approx. 1915. 2 men were executed and it was filmed in front of the guillotine!!! Winnie - I guess you are from Vietnam the former Indochina.

@@MrAntonBerg yes sir I am originally from Vietnam. My parents came over to the U.S.around 1975.

@@MrAntonBerg There is one in which yo see the blade fall, and immediately his body pushed off the board into a coffin right beside the device

You might be surprised to know that Hitler loved the guillotine and had around 27,000 people, mostly French underground fighters killed during WW2 with it....What a bloody horrific mess......

It’s said he did express regret for this one woman he squelched, that it was a shame because she was naive and innocent, didn’t deserve to die- or words to that effect. Nazi, Jew, atheist, apolitical… doesn’t much matter. A serial killer will kill serially- ‘it’s what he needs to fully… live’ 👿

There is no record of Weidmann being involved in any political groups or having any political leanings or affiliations. I personally think he did not hold any strong political views one way or the other. He fled to France after committing crimes in Germany... so it's more likely that he was simply seeking refuge in a neighboring country, rather than specifically avoiding Nazi rule. It is also possible that he was concerned about possible conscription which was mandatory in Germany. As for the Nazi's thoughts on Weidmann's execution, it is unlikely that they paid much attention to it.

Ted Bundy fried in the electric chair. Bundy often revisited his dead victims, sometimes performing sex with the corpses until wild animals destroyed the bodies too much to do so. At least 12 severed heads were kept as mementos in his apartment. Weidmann is almost a school boy in comparison. In some ways Bundy's death was worse, jerking about in the chair still conscious as 2000 volts of electricity hit him. While on death row Bundy married and fathered a child. Ridiculous. Bundy's brain was removed and studied. Nothing unusual was found.

I was thinking the same thing about Ted Bundy. Weidmann was fluent in French and offered to help translate for that young American woman he killed. Weidmann probably didn't care much about politics in his native Germany. Guess his only concern was enriching himself and outsmarting police.

Horrific for the onlookers. Not so much for the executed

Apparently your brain is still alive for several minutes after decapitation, and so the "victim" would be aware that his head is off of his body and able to see the crowd cheering as the executioner held up his head. Sounds pretty horrifying, but then, if they ended up on the guillotine, they probably deserved it.

Just imagine an unsettled soda being opened sideways. That will be the first few seconds.

@@mamacat63 ....you think ? I would say the thought for weeks, probably months, that you were going to be beheaded would be horrific in the extreme. We cannot begin to imagine the psychological state of the prisoner, though there's a great deal of research on this matter with prisoners on death row and they are at least getting a slightly more civilised execution.

How do you, or anybody else know it’s quick ?? Don’t think anyone ever survived it to tell us.

Right about that...my friend...

Oui

There's a reason the guillotine is 4 - 5 meters tall and has a very heavy blade (the blade itself close to 10 kg, and 60+ kg in the weight). The momentum goes through vertabrae just as easily as between them.

They should have put that gag into a Carry On film.

Which country?

​@PoiiPoii I believe Vietnam;;They used them during the Vietnam war.

Communism is a crime in fact

@@paulajames3937not true

​@@BulldumbdumbYes,it is look it up;Guillotines in Vietnam; Google it.

the assistant who was told of was andre obrecht later to become chief executioner.

He’s having you on.

@@julieclayton-west624 can you prove that?

​@@julieclayton-west624p

​@@julieclayton-west624No he is not. I happened to watch an ISIS beheading video online. The head spun through the air before hitting the ground. The eyes looked around in stunned shock for about 10 seconds before closing.

Actually, the head does not hit the ground, it falls into a basket. In more traditional executions, the executioner's assistant would grasp the condemned's hair and hold the severed head up to view. The same used to happen with executions by axe. In any case, how would anyone know whether facial movements after decapitation are conscious actions, rather than reflex.

If you'd do a little research on the history of the guillotine, you'd see that it was the product of noble intentions. It offered a more humane form of death ( as opposed to slow strangulation by hanging or breaking on the wheel ), as well as giving equality between the classes by having one uniform method. Robespierre and his cronies were responsible for using it as a form of terror and repression. After they were overthrown, it resumed it's intended purpose as an instrument of judicial punishment.

It meant everyone was executed in the same painless way and with a method that was 100% quick and reliable. In pre revolutionary France execution of the rich was quick and painless and for the poor it was often slow and painful. The guillotine was fairer, and more humane than what it replaced. In Nantes for example “counter revolutionaries” were tied together and thrown off a boat in order to slowly drown, . Robbers and murderers were tied to a wheel, all their arms and legs broken, and then slowly strangled. In July 2021 the US Justice department issued a report that 35% of US executions were “botched” and imposed a moratorium on executions until this was fixed. The guillotine was reliable. 100% effective. Execution is terrifying. If you are going to be executed this was more humane than it sounds. I know that sounds bizarre.

@@graemer3657No, I vaguely remember watching a RU-vid video a long time ago about a research on decapticated heads. Scientists reported that the beheaded survived up to two or maybe five seconds.

Very much so.

This was not the first execution to be photographed, nor the first one caught on film. The unruly mob and almost circus like atmosphere is what made the government move all future executions inside the prison walls.

Was it necessary to be so rude?

To be fair. Something as barbaric looking as the guillotine was shocking to see being used in public, especially in a highly cultured society like France. You just wouldn't expect it and it was a bit of a novelty. Same for the U.S. with their last public hanging in 1936, which appeared to have even more spectators than this one. I mean basically this kind of public executions should have been left in the 19th century at the very latest. It was just too barbaric for the 20th century with the advent of movies and radio and what not.

@@peaceful3250 Rude? I'd say mildly sarcastic, but one mans sarcasm is another mans rude. No offence intended but it was a breathtakingly obvious statement.

He was present from an elevated viewing point. He DID NOT rush to soak anything in blood. You made that up.

He arrived in a red and white 1960's Kombi he stole off some victims i believe? Count Yorga the prick! Peace.

Fake...

@@pouipouicbedeau9664 Woke

Because EVERYTHING on you tube is clickbait, or hadn't you noticed?

With boiling you wont get spurted with blood.

Last I heard that used was by King Henry VIII

@@winnienguyen4420 I have never heard of that. Boiling alive was a method used in the Far East I think.

It was last used on a rapist & murderer!!!!!!

I think it was because he committed more than one murder

👀 … He was/is a proven murderer! German or not! There was no doubt!!!

@@shop-a-holic3194 Yeah I think the adjectives used like " horrific" relates to it being in public and photographable rather than the verdict or sentence

@@jimredd652 He committed the murders not the others

@@TheFlowerday96 that is precisely what I said

Exact La dernière date de 1977 et était largement méritée quand on voit les ravages qui ont suivi au niveau de la criminalité 😮😮😮

No problem for me.

Fake...

I think getting rid of death penalty would be the best choice

Actaully it's the least humane method of execution because the brain lives for up to three minutes after decapitation. This was proven at a guillotine execution when the executioner lifted the severed head of the deceased inmate and called his name, three times the eyes opened in response, proving the concept that the brain responded for a time before it actaully died of oxygen starvation. The electric chair is beyond doubt the most humane method of execution because the shock it delivers is so brutally powerful, it causes brain stem death instantly, the condemned is alive one moment, dead the next. The subsequent shocks are to make sure the job is done and actually cooks internal organs to make sure there is no chance of survival. There has only ever been one person who survived the first shock, his name was Willy Francis and that only occurred due to fault in the chair. This is why all modern chairs are tested prior to execution. Francis was executed without a hitch after the fault was corrected. That being said there has never been a botched execution with the chair so far as survival is concerned. The chair has taken the life of every inmate who's sat In one and it is instant. Lethal injection is not as humane as people think either, it has had many botched executions with it.👍

Zuchthaus would do the same (a prison wear prisoners have to work and no comfort )

It won't. Generally murderers think they were either justified or are so clever they won't be caught.

There's no evidence that the death penalty is a deterrent.

because death penalty ha proven to be very effective in the United States...

Most of those who died from the Guillotine attended public executions before. So it proves you 100 % wrong.

Nah.
