They did this in an episode of Vikings..if you could stomach it. Makes the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones look like a Disney episode.

Now THAT would be quite the torture penalty.

Seems reasonable for performing for perps of equally heinous crimes.

Shortly after, the torture known as the income tax superseded this grisly practice.

If the Lungs are exposed, then the victim is no longer breathing and would soon pass out.

If these torture methods are true, they harken back to a bloody time in humanity’s past.

Or to three years ago in eastern Syria.

Wasn’t a similar torture described in the movie NORTHWEST PASSAGE (1940)? I read the book by Kenneth Roberts fifty eight years ago and don’t remember if it was mentioned in there or not.

Some things should quietly be left behind in the deep dark pages of history. I see no benefit for today’s society having this stuff brought back into the light.

They’ve depicted it twice in the series Vikings. The first time was the most explicit when Ragnar executed Jarl Borg. The second time was when Ivar the Boneless killed King Aella in revenge for killing his father.

Benefits,,,

You’re probably correct.
They happened and will
Continue to happen.

Once they were mighty Vikings striking fear in their enemies wherever they went. Now, just a bunch of lib-turd wooses allowing mooslims to rape their women.

The heart and lungs:

The back and major nerves:

I think its safe to say this was more of a scary bedtime story, maybe after some or a little too much mead, than real.

I thought this was about Gary Anderson missing his only field goal of the entire season, when it really mattered, in the NFC championship game.
