The HORRIFIC Execution Of The Last Woman Guillotined 

What kind of soft on crime prick would call this horrific? The murder of her husband was horrific, hers was swift and humane.

Maybe it was because it was a woman that made it horrific?

Because nobody would click on it if it didn't say "HORRIFIC" in all caps. Lame video.

@@ronaldweir712 should make no difference. Can't do the time. Don't do the crime 🤷‍♂️

@@martinleifnymark7432 well if her head is chopped off she isn’t doing any time! I think if you weren’t used to copious amounts of blood emerging from a headless torso then it would appear to be horrific regardless of who it was.

"Just a trim, please - not too much off the top!"

@@tomhaskett5161 Brilliant.

Really? It could be several seconds before you lose total consciousness due to hypoxia, so you will be aware of everything! Having said that, the garrote was a far more horrid method of execution; as was being hanged by an incompetent American sergeant after your trial at Nuremburg. The fortunate ones got Pierrepoint.

​It is now proven that when the head is severed from the body, it is just removed from a blood supply. However, they now know that the brain lives on for around six minutes, even after severing blood supply or heart stops. This means that even as the head is wrapped up and thrown in the basket with the body, the brain still can know what is happening to the head. Imagine the horror, those that had their heads used as footballs felt??? It is said the guillotine was so perfect at killing, it doesn't cause as much trauma as hanging or firing squad does, where people can become immediately unconscious from shock! A severed head can not blink or move its eyelids as was believed.

One head started singing "I Ain't Got No Body!"

​@@doraglasberg1287that's funny.

@@SpeccyMan OH GOD NOT 4 SECONDS OF CONSCIOUSNESS!

Agreed.

A-greed!!@@samy7013

This is evil no one can escape God judgment of condemnation if they don't repent of their sins no matter what sin Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Where haveyou been all your life, matey?

Yep; he's famous for it, and his voice is really hard to listen to, if you are a native English speaker. It drones on and on with every sentence being delivered in the same way and weird emphasis being put on some of the small words.

​@@tombristowe846couldn't agree more!

@@tombristowe846 yup, that put me off completely

Germaine Leloy-Godefroy would beg to differ.

All executions are horrific.

Too much talking.

Should say justified. But the pathetic people of today consider her a victim. So titling it horrific keeps the Karen's quiet.

@@Larry-bv8nx Exactly Larry, I think the guy who puts out all these vids is a typical progressive (regressive) European, feeling guilty and possibly ashamed of history. There were things the governments/monarchies of the past had correct. The immediate death penalty for pre med murder was certainly one of them!

​@@Larry-bv8nx 😢😨 Wow, you must be the life of any party 🎉 talking like that ?..

It's a teaser so that the morbid you will be dying to watch it.

@@saksuthsakan5500 Justice is not "morbid", its an inherent right of the victim!

If you look hard enough on RU-vid there's a Spanish TV movie based on that very case. A pretty harrowing watch.

No one views this video for "laughs."

That was Marie-Louise Giraud whose story became a movie ('Une Affaire de Femmes', 'Story of Women' in English) with Isabelle Huppert playing the role of a woman based upon Giraud. The execution actually took place in wartime, on July 30 1943.

@@WDH59510. A male abortionist was also executed.

@@maconescotland8996 I believe that to be true.

The fact that no woman was executed since 1950 probably created hostility to the death penalty in France and France 🇫🇷 was trying to become more egalitarian. Remember the guillotine was still in use for 28 years after the last woman.

@@johnobrien921 Apart from the very few executed in the brief period of the 1940s France had not imposed the death penalty on women since the 1870s - and that was a rare occurence. The frequency of executions dropped very significantly after WW2 as opposition to capital punishment grew.

The Scots had a version called "the maiden" as far back as the middle ages.

@@heronimousbrapson863 There used to be a model of the Halifax gibbet in the London Dungeon. It would have been the same date as the Maiden. I understand it pees the French off that it wasn't invented by them.

Desire to transfer guilt to another country?

It’s still there.

@@heronimousbrapson863 Cope harder with the facts!

executing a woman is no worse than a man, both genders lives are of equal value

And he was wrong as Vichy government made a Coup and then signed the armistice with Germany as they prepare da siege of Paris, the Coup d'Etat to take power never was legitimate and Free France was the original government led by De Gaulle, after brilliant victories in North Africa and saving the entire british army a second time after Dunkirk, at Bir Hakeim made France led by De Gaulle the internationally recognized France state.

Un petit homme - nice guy!

True. What would YOU choose? Blade or rope?

@@daniellelawman9724 Blade. Much faster.

Not when carried out by Pierrpoint British executioner. He could kill someone’s in under 10 secs from entering the cell.

You're seeking logic in the criminal mind. Doesn't always work.

Ok incel

Serious crimes have been committed for millennia. The death penalty has been used as a threat and deterant for as long. Still serious crimes occur. There are numerous examples of innocent people being convicted with evidence proving their innocence only coming to light years later. A dead person cannot be pardoned with any real benefit to them. The death penalty does not work and does not allow for wrongful convictions to be overturned.

After research done among convicts, the most feared punishment is not the death penalty but life in jail with no possibility of parole. Go figure ! Death penalty satisfies the offended parts, never justice!

No rich m’en in death row….

@@CHI-ts2dk Absolutely. At least the death penalty is quick as opposed to rotting away for life.

The god you are asking to show mercy is responsible for more deaths, (personally AND in the name of), than anything or anybody in History.

I think you will find that it was Madame Defarge who said, " Let them eat cake."

No she didn't

Bad logic. Except that there have been people wrongly executed, but not many. In modern times the chances of an innocent person being executed in the US at least are non-existent.

The Innocence Project estimates 7% of all persons on death row in the United States are innocent. So prior to DNA testing, I would estimate that more than 7% of all persons executed were innocent.

Totally brilliant and historic comment! Cheers!

Crazy that the last person to die by guillotine in France was in 1977.

@@culcune France is pretty crazy in a number of ways...

Well, the last execution with the guillotine in France was in 1977...And in East Germany, it was still in use until 1966.

More dramatic

No, It was 'My Way', long before Frankie Boy!

he failed school darlinks

I'd rather this than an axe or sword which can miss and take a few goes, depending on the skill of the Executioner 😊😊😊

@@philstrachan I'd rather not be executed at all. Heh Heh.

Thankfully, we’ve moved on now from state sanctioned murder. Well, in civilised countries anyway.

The death penalty by means of beheading by guillotine wasn't a deterrent in her case though was it?

I'd rather pay a fine!

There was no execution chambers in French prisons: instead the guillotine was assembled in a courtyard. Before it was built in front of the prison's gate. And earlier, before 1870, executions took place on a square and the guillotine was assembled on a scaffold.

Ι am not religious and i do not believe in a vengeful God but I am against the death penalty, so i am right right there with you.

It is true that scripture says that, but it also says that we are to obey the laws of the land. Laws are made for reasons and consequences are specified because of those laws. Bottom line is, don't do the crime if you can't accept the punishment or consequences.

@@rickmaddox3120 The scripture - for those who believe it - appears quite contradictory when it comes to killing people. Elija slaughters mercilessly 500 men and his action is approved by Yawve who has given his full protection to Cain who murdered his brother. Jesus says "let the one among you who is without sin, cast the first stone" but Paul in Romans 13 1-7 condones the death penalty. Just two examples. Lots of contradictions generally.

@@theo9952 I believe in the death penalty...but not a state death penalty. If someone killed a member of my family...I reserve the right to administer justice myself...an eye for an eye. If I cant do it...then it shouldn't be a death penalty imposed by people not affected by the crime.

@@rickmaddox3120 Even though you should follow the law of the land...the state has no right to go against gods will of thou shalt not kill.

Oh yes I remember. Trump said to Clinton "you're going to jail" I wonder how long Trump will get,that is until some future Republican President pardons him.

Even if her husband was drunken and abusive, hitting him in the head with an axe must be concidered as rather “brutal”.

How does her husband potentially being a drunk and abusive make what she did not murder? 🤦‍♂️

And maybe her husband was not drunk or abusive .

@@coolran06 Possibly , but yet again you don't know for sure . Maybe he was a "control freak" like many are nowadays ! . . . . Lol

@@paulh7798 Murder in what degree , what was her motive . In them days , if your face didn't fit they just executed you ! . . .

WW2: 1939-1945. Execution of Germaine Leloy-Godefroy 1949.

Sophie Scholl was executed during WW2.

You’re part of the problem, not the solution. Execution isn’t about deterrence, at least not primarily about it. It’s largely about the rebalancing of the moral scales in the universe. A person who commits premeditated murder is voting to declare that they are unworthy of life. Abolitionism is cowardly and immoral.

I’ll vote hanging back in the UK if it ever becomes a public vote!!!

What on earth makes you think that Christianity isn’t a false religion?

@@samy7013 What makes you think it is a fake religion?

Why didn't Jesus/God stop her killing?

Ha ha ha. Jesus was a failed prophet. You should read your own Bible.

@@ArcanisUrriah It was not God who led her down this path. He gave us free will to except his love or not . She chose to kill her husband ( I do not know why ...was he abusive ? Was it adultery ? Was it for money ?). I do not belive in the death penalty either. She should have faced a long term in prison. ...execution is judicial murder.
