    Default Would you cooperate with your executioner?

    I just watched a movie about Mata Hari, which ended with a scene depicting her execution by firing squad. She is being led to the place of execution and she says, "you will see a beautiful death"... she refuses the blindfold, which I understand... but what I don't understand is why you would do anything to make things easier for those who are about to kill you...why even walk up to the post and passively allow yourself to be shot? at least let them carry you...

    how about those mass killings you read about? I mean when they say "kneel down next to this open pit full of dead bodies" why would you not run instead? even if you only had a one in a billion chance of escaping... why not take that chance... and yet millions of people throughout history have acquiesced to their own deaths...

    Nope not at all, and the only way they are gonna kill me with my own gun, is to beat me with it, as it will be empty then.

    I can see only one reason for it with Mata Hari. Dignity. Chin up, look them in the eye. Let them know you are better than they are and the only way they can become better is to kill me.

    in most situations, no.

    exceptions: if i was being executed for something that i felt guilty about, or if somehow it would affect those close to me (since we are talking about unlikely hypotheticals: i.e. if we are talking fucked up war/government/rebel something situation-- if i struggle it would mean my loved ones would also get hurt, then no i wouldnt struggle) or if it would mean i would have to undergo a way more painful execution-- (i.e. if we are talking hypothetically about midieval times, i struggle and then get burned at the stake. owwies)

    yea ive often wondered the same thing. im guessing largely they have given up hope. but if i was going down, id at least like to take someones eye out with me .

    i havent seen the movie you are talking about, but i think in a lot of older cultures where public executions took place, honor was a big part of it. if they were seen struggling they would look like a coward. now in regards to in front of a firing squad in a mass killing, thats a different matter. im guessing in those situations, all hope had been surrendered...
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    There's a lot of different rumours about how Mati Hari acted at her execution.

    All things aside, though, I really don't know how I'd react. I imagine most of them kneel because of their crippling fear. Humans react in very different manners than we think we'd react under stressful situations, and I'm not sure I could ever put myself in someone's shoes who was forced to lie down and die in a pit of their friends and relatives and acquaintances just because that's a level of stress I've never come close to.

    Likely a good deal do run, though.

    It's dignity and also probably when they realise there is nothing that they can do to change the situation they may as well leave without giving their killers the pleasure/power of seeing their fear.

    ^ This.

    If I'm going to die, I'd rather accept it than go down kicking and screaming.

    Yeah, I'd probably let it happen. My kicking and screaming would be going on when I found out it was coming, but at the point when I'm about to die, I don't think I would fight it.

    Dignity. You know you're going to your death anyway. Die well.

    Honestly, it's hard to know how you would react. I'm sure most people are in such shock and disbelief they are almost frozen with fear. A lot of the time, when faced with a terrible situation, we don't react the way we thought we would.

    Screw that. I would try to take out as many of those bastards as i could. Even if my hands were tied i would headbutt somebody.

    They better shoot me before i get close enough to drive my foot up somebodies ass.

    Either that or i would take one of these positions on the firing line.

    None of us truly knows what we would do in an execution scenario until we were in it, and our actions would very likely be far less heroic than we would wish to believe.

    Sure. I'd like to do it like Jesus, though. You know, big spectacle, lots of blood and gore and telling everyone that I forgive them. By the time death does come it would be most welcomed.

    Lethal injection just seems so anti-climatic. But yes, if I were about to be executed, I'd use that attention from a spectacular execution as a bully pulpit from which to deliver a final message to all who can hear.

    ^^The fact that you are wearing devil horns in your avatar and that you said you would die like jesus makes me really happy for some reason .

    No one knows for sure how they would react when facing death until faced with it.
    I was once in a situation that I thought, that is it, I'm going to die and accepted that is was my end. In the split second after, I thought about everyone I loved and thought fuck it I'm not going without a fight. I did one of those amazing superhero things, and got myself out of a situation that should have left me dead or at least badly injured.
