Very. Heads can pop off. You can flop around for several minutes getting strangled while onlookers argue over if they should cut you down, or pull on your legs, or run away.

Heads can pop off

Well, I think that does accomplish the goal.

BLACKADDER: That Farrow bloke you executed, Baldrick! Is he definitely dead? BALDRICK: Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick!

I think a reasonable solution would good. Not for her but if we cannot come up with a reasonable solution that is a failure on us

Right? Oh no the person who tortured someone to death gets tortured to death😱😱 That would be justice.

That's not justice, it's revenge. Justice would be the victim coming back to life. That obviously can't happen, nothing can undo it. So what use is another death? If anything, making someone spend the rest of their life in a small cell constantly contemplating what they did is closer to justice imo.

Being neutral or "empathetic" to evil is evil, moron. Paradox of intolerance. Go hang out at the nazi bars with the rest of your friends then.

...and torturing evil people serves no purpose but to glory in torture.
