It happened at 0300 GMT ( 0600 local Iraqi time.)
Just hopefully it will help quell the violence in the East now. Hopefully wil show the rebels that they are now beaten.

I saw a video on the hanging-someone used a cellphone-it got the whole thing.
The new video cut where they had the rope around his neck.

It showed him choking and everything?
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 05:53:30 PM
The one i saw turned away from him when he was dropping, then turned back to look at him when he was dead.  Not exactly what i was expecting of an uncensored video.. Or did i get the censored one.. oh well..
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Goblin Cat 😸 on January 01, 2007, 06:14:11 PM
You probably got the censored...

Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 06:20:03 PM
I'm pretty sure the video i got was the cell phone video... But now i'm gonna go see if i can't find an uncensored one or confirm that what i had was uncensored...
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Goblin Cat 😸 on January 01, 2007, 06:23:52 PM
Yeah... I'm 100% sure I'm more than likely wrong.
But I would imagine uncensored would show him ACTUALLY choking...
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 06:27:24 PM
I just looked at the uncensored one, tis what i saw the first time.  They show him drop but after that it pulls away, the next time you see him he's already dead and not moving.. I feel so dissapointed now...
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Goblin Cat 😸 on January 01, 2007, 06:34:57 PM
I've only seen the censored one.
It cuts off when they tightn the noose. (sp?)

Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 06:42:50 PM
Both of them in my oppinion are very boring.  I'd expect the uncensored video that is said to have made a bit of a ruckus to have been slightly more gruesome. *el sighs* I think i'm gonna put the Doom movie on now just to get some semi worthwile gore to kick off the morning..

 I for one am glad and yet a bit scared it took them so long to kill them.
He must have had a LONG trial.

@Woven: If my memory has any value left then the trial was over 2 weeks long...

I love the mental institution part. Hehe.
Yeah his trial was about 2 weeks long.

Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 07:42:02 PM
Ohh.. That one.. *Giggle fit*

I'm sure that if they bothered to think for awhile they could have found something better to do with him then give him a short drop and a sudden stop.. But whatever makes people happy i guess is a fair choice.. Though i'll just have to wait and see how things go from here.. Perhaps the little voice in my head isn't going to be right this time arround.. Who knows.. *Shrugs a bit*

I don't understand what was said to offend you, Woven.


Back to topic:  I saw the cruddy cell phone one, it was enough to make me shiver. Not that he didn't deserve it.

*Just pauses for a moment and raises an eyeridge* What words did i put in your mouth? You said, and now I'm quoting from the post you made which my first point aimed at you was replayed to,
 " I for one am glad and yet a bit scared it took them so long to kill them.
He must have had a LONG trial."

All i did was simply said how long i thought the trial was. If that some how offended you then i apologize and ask that you tell me exactly which part of that offended you so i can try not to do it again otherwise i ask that you please quit growling at me, i may be patient but i do NOT take being growled at very well so can we talk this over like civilized Furies instead of snarling at eachother like a couple of mindless fool?

*feeds you both noodles and gives you pets*  :ramen:

Let's just forget it, ok? I think this is supposed to be a happy topic about death!  YAY!  =3


Last night on the news, they were saying a lot of muslims were pretty cheesed off he was executed at the beginning of one of their holy days.
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: WovenSky on January 01, 2007, 08:30:16 PM
They should be happy that such a bad man died on their holy day. Doesn't that mean whoever thet worship is doing something good or something?
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 01, 2007, 08:46:02 PM
*Munches on the noodles and presses up into the petting while purring like a happy kitten* 

THe comment about this supposed to be a happy topic about death made me grin..

Can't really blame them for getting annoyed about that.. I can see how that could be seen as a bad way to start the holidays. Though at the same time it's a reasion for them to be happy.

And now i'm gonna bash my head against something because i just forgot the name of the mentioned holiday. x.x

There's an uncensored version of it for you, you see him hung and his body still hanging right at the end.

Viewer discretion advised

I agree my fellow dragon!
Something much messier, painful, and longer would have satisfied me.
But then they wouldn't show it on TV, eh?
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 02, 2007, 04:30:33 AM
@Nyx:  It wouldn't be shown on TV and all the humanitarians would totaly throw a fit simply from it being sujested and the idea of a more brutal and painfull death would thus probably be voted down.. *le sighs*

@Tweak: I wouldn't have thought to put the "Viewer Discretion Advised" warning... It didn't seem like it was really bad enough to earn one of those... But thats just my oppinion..
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: tweak on January 02, 2007, 10:45:14 AM
I didn't think it was that bad, but it's worth being careful.

A more painful death? Hold on, we're killing a guy because he killed people, and the reason we're killing him is because killing is wrong. There's a cliche here. My main point is why kill someone? It makes us just as bad as the original killer, rather they suffer for the next 40 years or so than let them off with just a second of pain.
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 02, 2007, 10:52:20 AM
Because the human species is irrational and violence is a basic instinct? And in leaving him alive the posibility of supporters breaking him out of jail and trying to get him back in power is actualy something that they can do.  Where as with him dead they lose the person that they are rallying arround thus possibly dammaging their moral and making things easier on the troops.  Of cource that could also horribly backfire and he be seen as a mytar then more people rally arround him and it all goes down hill.

And theres also the reasion that i'm a nutcase and i just wanna see someone bite it in the most painfull way i can think of, which they didn't do sadly. *Fights down the urge to go into elaborate detail about what probably happened to his neck when they dropped him..*

Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: tweak on January 02, 2007, 10:55:54 AM
It is a basic instinct, yes. And we has supposedly evolved? Worrying really.

I agree with your points there, it could turn both ways, but I still don't believe that capital punishment is the answer.

His neck was broken, plain and simple, that's how hanging works, it breaks the neck and kills the person.
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 02, 2007, 11:07:38 AM
I find it more of an annoyingly depressing subject then worrying... Such flaws are why I've all but legally disowned humanity..

True that they could have possibly found something more usefull to do with him other then kill him, and it's probably not too wonderfull for the new government to kill the head of the old government..

Mmm... Neck broken, wind pipe crushed, possible torn arteries, and the cloth around his neck propably prevended there from being damage to the skin..  Wonderfull way to start the day! ^.^
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...

No... My parents think that it's odd that I could kill a person and not an animal.
Title: Re: Saddam Hussein has been executed...
Post by: Isarain Malice Gale on January 04, 2007, 04:02:30 AM
I just found something out about the execution that i didn't know thanks to an article that was on one of the things that yahoo pops up when started up.

It seems that while Saddam was standing on the gallows some of the people there to witness the execution were heckling him, and despite that he still stayed calm and was acting fairly polite. There wasn't anything on the page that could be considered distubing or graphic that i could see so I'll go ahead and post the link in case anyone else wants to read it for themself.. And now all that's left for me to do is to figure out if my gut's trying to tell me that the dirty diapers are gonna hit the fan or if that's just a cramp..
