From BRAZIL: It doesn't pay to steal in gang territory in Brazil. The man in the video saw it for himself. Two of his fingers were cut off for stealing money.

Has anyone tested this theory?

I remember seeing a video of what i think was police who caught a thief or smth like that and they beat his ass with a metal bat i think. I rememeber get lucky from daft punk was playing in the background.

Spokane, Washington, United States

July 23, 1944

During World War Two war shows, like airshows today, were a popular way the military drummed up a patriotic spirit in local communities. The shows demonstrated military equipment to awe viewers and show just what all of the homefront efforts had produced.

Spokanintes were looking forward to attending the “Stay On The Job” war show on the afternoon of July 23, 1944. The show was conceived by Spokane air service command deputy commander Colonel Paul Schidecker to encourage the workers of the Inland Northwest to keep working to produce military equipment and vehicles. By having mock firefights and air battles to show how effective the equipment was in use along with how much wear and tear they underwent, the SPASC hoped to curve the high turnover rate the defense industry was seeing.

With the show beginning at 3 P.M., a crowd of over 100,000 viewers gathered in a natural amphitheater north of Spokane to watch the parades, weapons demonstrations, aerial maneuvers, and bomb droppings. About half an hour after the show began, during the parade of military aircraft the crowd's attention was called to three A-25 dive-bombers flying into sight. Moments later tragedy struck as two of the planes collided and fell to the ground, bursting into flames. The crowd initially believed the explosions to be a part of the show, which promised realism, but soon they began to realize just what they had witnessed. Crews rushed to control the fires, and after a 45-minute interruption, the show continued. The next day it was announced that four men died in the crash, two pilots and two engineers.

The deaths of these young men lived on, in a sense, in the 1956 science fiction film Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Film crews recording the event caught the accident on camera and the footage of the two planes crashing and exploding became stock footage for Hollywood movies.

Hopefully this tragedy will not happen again

Back again with another mesh of noise for you all to enjoy, this time coming in the form of the wooden and steel mass of sharpened brutal death metal known as Brodequin. Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1998 by brothers Jamie and Mike Bailey, Brodequins music is just as brutal and gruesome as their subject matter. If you're familiar with medieval torture methods, their name should be a dead giveaway in regards to the subject matter displayed in their music, as all of brodequins subject matter is tied intrinsically to medieval torture methods and themes of that effect. From the virgin of nuremberg to the duke of exeter, this band is packed full of references to a brutal, violent time long forgotten by modern man. The featured track, Strappado itself is a method of torture once used in the 1500's and onward, slowly phasing out over time. The following is an excerpt from wikipedia about the Strappado -

The strappado, also known as corda,is a form of torture in which the victim's hands are tied behind their back and the victim is suspended by a rope attached to the wrists, typically resulting in dislocated shoulders. Weights may be added to the body to intensify the effect and increase the pain. This kind of torture would generally not last more than an hour without rest, as it would otherwise likely result in death.

Other names for strappado include "reverse hanging", "Palestinian hanging" and il tormento della corda.

Artistic renditions of the strappado.

Even the bands name itself, “Brodequin” was also a medieval method of torture. Here is another excerpt from wiki in regards to its use -

The victim would be secured to on a stout bench in a sitting position. His bare legs were sandwiched within a set of three strong, narrow vertical boards, outside each leg and between, the lot tightly bound together with strong rope. Wedges of wood were introduced into any available gaps and slowly pounded down with a mallet, squeezing the legs with enough pressure to shatter bones and leak both blood and marrow.For so-called ordinary offenses, the torture was conducted with four wedges, while eight wedges tortured the legs of extreme felons.

Some artistic renditions of the Brodequin in use.

This crushing unit of sound has been dominating the death metal scene since its inception, garnering controversy occasionally from within the community at times for their non traditional logo, Brodequin is sure to put to rest any doubts about their ability to display brutality and violence through music once they begin to play.

Any fans of torture on this website?? Let me know what you all think about Brodequin!!!

Train passengers and locals said that the Dhaka-bound Panchagarh Express train was crossing the Hili border check post area around 4:30 on Thursday afternoon. At this time, the locals screamed seeing a woman hanging in front of the train engine. The train driver stopped the train at Healy railway station after realizing the matter. Due to this, train movement through this route is stopped. Although the woman's face is fine, both legs are completely bruised. Later, when the people of Hilli railway police outpost came and recovered the body of the woman from the front of the train engine, the train movement was normalized after half an hour
