BONUS - SMALL TOWN MURDER - THE HISTORY OF EXECUTIONS
Added 2025-09-28 01:37:00 +0000 UTCThis week, James and Jimmie discuss the history of executions in the United States.
Comments
I'm against the death penalty, but why don't they just pump them full of fentanyl or another type of opiate? Seems pretty straight forward to me. That shit kills innocent people every fucking day. They can even get it for free after a drug bust. Why use these death chemicals that aren't necessarily reliable?

Olivia Fisher
2025-10-07 22:31:06 +0000 UTCIt seems like it would be. At the hospital Friday night they said that morphine is on backorder right now, so who knows
Kimberly
2025-10-06 12:38:30 +0000 UTCI like the ones where they let the person go if the execution didnโt work ๐

2025-10-05 14:55:23 +0000 UTCAnyone familiar with the case of George Stinney? He was wrongfully convicted of murder and executed in 1944. His conviction was vacated 70 YEARS later! O & he was only 14 at the time of his alleged crime(s). Heartbreaking case๐ญ

Jennifer Britten
2025-10-04 19:45:59 +0000 UTCMy complete uneducated understanding is that death-penalty states have a higher murder rare. Might be to do with the lowering of regard for human life? Btw, I am an abolitionist.

Thomas Gallagher

Tara Louise
2025-10-03 11:29:30 +0000 UTCI havenโt bothered to look this up, but, if lethal injection is botched so many times, and the drugs are impossible to get, why donโt they just OD the person on morphine? Is there a reason why that isnโt an option?
Max Wilson
2025-10-02 19:42:47 +0000 UTCRight when i move out of buffalo you guys choose to go ๐ญ๐ญ im comin back for you guys if that happens
Dezmon Nelson
2025-10-02 02:58:15 +0000 UTCThe failed hanging where the neck didnโt break and didnโt strangle to death is why the wording was changed to โhung by the neck until deadโ
Traci Judy
2025-10-02 00:39:25 +0000 UTCJames, we need the bonus episode of Black Blood lunatic Billy Jack Haynes๐คฃ
Billy Sayle
2025-10-01 23:35:34 +0000 UTCI think we need a bonus episode where you guys talk about whatever show youโre actively watching or rewatching, would love to hear your review of the gilded age
Sarah Repp
2025-10-01 22:47:40 +0000 UTCNo bet. Iโm pretty sure it meant the same thing then as it does now; especially when you consider that the Bible itself mentions beastiality and states thou shall not lie with the beasts of the field and such.
Lady Earl Grey
2025-10-01 18:27:52 +0000 UTCDo states that don't have the death penalty have more or less crime? Probably a dumb question ๐ค I'm sure it end and flows depending on circumstances

Grace Luterek
2025-09-29 20:08:42 +0000 UTCSo wild. Third murder of butt stuff. But the first for treason. Someone took a very hard stance.
Shayne Bartlett
2025-09-29 16:58:04 +0000 UTCLizzy Borden was acquitted, despite the clever rhyme. Love that you went through the AC/DC propaganda around the electric chair.
Melissa Bilotta
2025-09-29 16:55:36 +0000 UTCThe way I yelled โhail nimrodโ when James mentioned executing that guy hahaha
Eric Wright
2025-09-29 15:45:19 +0000 UTCI'd be perfectly fine with another botched executions episode. I am morbidly fascinated by it!
Patrick Roseberry
2025-09-29 15:05:25 +0000 UTCJames just said worcestershire without a second of hesitation. That was impressive ๐ ๐คฃ

Kerrie Ann OCONNOR
2025-09-29 12:09:54 +0000 UTCI favour dying of old age surrounded by loved ones!
Kerrie Ann OCONNOR
2025-09-29 12:09:18 +0000 UTCFirst, I would never want to be a witness to any of this. Second, if I had to choose an execution for myself, I'd rather be decapitated by hanging than strangled by the rope for ANY length of time. ๐ซค
Michelle Miller
2025-09-29 09:37:00 +0000 UTC๐คฃyes!!
Justine McNeil
2025-09-29 04:18:43 +0000 UTCInteresting fact: Alaska never has had the death penalty as a state. AK achieved statehood in 1959.
Erin Nicole
2025-09-29 03:33:33 +0000 UTCIt used to be popular to have bells with strings attached into the coffin because of the stories of people being buried after being hanged and still alive. I think thereโs a poem (Edgar Allen Poe?) about it.
Devinne Willis
2025-09-29 02:24:34 +0000 UTCLizzy gave her step mom 40 whacks and daddy got 41. According to the old song.
Tracey
2025-09-28 22:25:43 +0000 UTCThe the insane thing is hangings were spectator sports with merch and everything because the condemned had usually earned celebriety status. In London it ended up botching the attempted escape of Jack Sheppard who planned to fake his death and escape after being revived but the crowd rushed his corpse thinking his friends were doctors taking his body for a cadevar which was common and they were too late to revive him. Dickens in his early writing often talks about being horrified at witnessing an execution for the first time
Stephen Watts
2025-09-28 22:04:09 +0000 UTCLizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks! When she saw what she done, she gave her father 41!

2025-09-28 21:37:34 +0000 UTCKIA. Not executed by any definition.
Mike Daniels
2025-09-28 20:36:58 +0000 UTCBlackbeard was KIA (not executed) during a military operation off the coast of NC (not SC) involving 2 British ships and his vessel in 1718. Love the show but this one was cringe on some of the facts.
Mike Daniels
2025-09-28 20:35:42 +0000 UTCFlorida is scheduled to execute a record number of people this year. They have already executed 12 so far this year.

Mr. Jonathan Hines
2025-09-28 19:18:39 +0000 UTCWhatโs the bet that in 1600s America, โbeastialityโ meant โsleeping with a black personโ
YeCrustModifier
2025-09-28 19:07:23 +0000 UTCI mean, depending on the crime, even the botched ones could be justified! ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Molly S
2025-09-28 18:04:27 +0000 UTCWhen yall were talking about the people that survived hanging because they had thick necks it reminded me of Taylor lautners character on ridiculous 6. How he was swinging around going weeeee when they tried to hang him and everyone in the crowd was freaking out.
Kat Irving
2025-09-28 17:37:22 +0000 UTCEven the guillotine wasnโt fool proof. Saumari sword is the best way to go

Danielle Carter
2025-09-28 15:05:34 +0000 UTCApril 2020 you did a botched execution episode, Jimmie was correct
Carl
2025-09-28 14:38:58 +0000 UTCIm not all the way through the episode yet but 1862, world's largest mass hanging approved by Lincoln. 38 Dakota men were hung at once. Read 38 Nooses. Neither side was completely innocent but many mistaken identities happened from settlers with false claims.
Jessica Schafer

2025-09-28 05:28:07 +0000 UTCI remember you did an episode about medieval execution techniques because I couldnโt stop laughing when you made the sound effects of the whoosh!!! when the guy was killed by the trees being bent back
Jimmy P
2025-09-28 05:17:56 +0000 UTCThe Gilded Age is incredible.
Liz Rutherford

2025-09-28 04:10:10 +0000 UTCYou realize while we weren't executing our own in 60's we were bombing the shit out of Viet Nam. That's how government fed the blood lust
