Fake

This is Faces of death, it’s not a real execution.

I thought this was a comedy sketch

Here's another execution by electric chair that's about as real as that clip in the OP's post. For the impatient, fast forward to 4:40 for the moment. Viewer Discretion Advised

Everyone is like "oh, do not kill him, if you kill him you will be like him" (almost fucking activists) until this one did not touch some from your family, maybe your children or someone else, so if it is verifyied that it had some very bad crimes behind, it have to be killed. Simple. TMPO.

This is by far the best portrayal of an electric chair execution and will fool most people who don't understand the physiologic effects of high voltage on a human body, they failed in several aspects, here are some:

1.- The guy does not have his face covered.
2.- He can move his fingers, even having them fully extended which is not possible if being electrocuted.
3.- There is no cable attached to one of his legs and no brine sponge.
4.- The metal cap is too small and does not cover the top of his skull so there is no space inside to hold the brine soaked sponge.
5.- There is no hemorrhage down his nostrils.
5.- Overall there is no sign of muscle contraction due to electric current flowing throughout his body.

Best luck for the next portrayal.

Filmed with the Game Boy Camera, apparently.

I wonder who this poor fuck was...

The death penalty should be longer.

As a non-US citizen, I always found it weird how long it takes people to get put to death once they are sentenced. Is it politics, ample time for a case to evolve, or what?

They should start using that tool that kills animals for food humanely. It’s like a gun-type instrument that ejects a thick metal plug a few inches deep into the back of the head and instantly kills them.
