Full title: John C Woods, hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about his experience to get the job (he actually learned about hanging from old cowboy films). His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.
Man sounds like a hero
Oh no. Anyway.
If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.
I'm torn.
Condemned men should be treated with respect. This isn't about the moral quality of the condemned, but the quality of the society that commits to execution.
The Nuremberg trials were a triumph of the rules-based international system. This fool undermined all of that.
Botching executions seems to be a theme with the USA.
A hero they deserved.
Hanging?
Yeah, careful flaying from forehead down just slow enough to ensure no passing out and then a nice slow roast at the stake is a more appropriate form of punishment for Nazis, Fascists, Racists/Racial Supremacists, Homophobes, Transphobes, etc.
All Nazi's deserve to suffer
His lack of expertise led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis.
A hero.
Talking about suffering, the same cowboy movies that falsely made cinema goers believe all American men had guns.
