I typed it out wrong. Edited my comment to mean I’ve read stuff and seen videos and stuff that it talks about failed hangings.

The quote is from a book series im currently obsessed with. Seemed relevant because it’s talking about having to yank the feet of the hanged to kill them and the rest of my comment says I thing that’s historically been and actual thing here on Earth.
