14. There's no way that noose and scaffold could have killed somebody

This was all for show, like when an opposing football team "hangs" an effigy of the rival team's mascot.

Yes it was chilling and effective to a point, but the scaffold would have collapsed if someone had actually been placed in the noose. On Jan. 6th they showed the scaffold being moved by protesters, and it almost fell over sideways. It couldn't have killed anyone for real.

No cops around on those streets, to stop these hostages from building gallows? Omnipresent Mar 18 #2
Yes that was my thought moniss Mar 18 #19

What I find interesting is that they already expected to hang Mike. The placement of the gallows was planned Ford_Prefect Mar 18 #5

It would have to be "art" because it would be fucking useless as a gallows jmowreader Mar 19 #40

At the time of construction of the gallows, they still had fantasies of killing Pelosi, Schumer, and others. Earth-shine Mar 18 #20

Yep, that thing was more of a prop than a gallows 0rganism Mar 18 #16
The 'knot' on the noose is a bunch of rope wrapped around a beer can/ SeattleVet Mar 19 #23
That structure would easily kill a human Mysterian Mar 19 #35
Maybe if it fell over on someone. Have you looked closely at their "noose"? 0rganism Mar 19 #38
That's nylon rope sufficient to support the weight of a human body Mysterian Mar 19 #39
Sure, the rope might be strong enough but the platform and supports aren't execution-ready 0rganism Mar 19 #41
You don't think a 4x4 post would support a human body? Mysterian Mar 19 #42
Not in that set up, not for long 0rganism Mar 19 #43
A judge might see that differently. Soundness of the structure would not be the measure. The intention of the object Ford_Prefect Mar 19 #25
I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be used... Think. Again. Mar 19 #26
Agree; it's obviously much too flimsy to really hang anyone, but I'm wondering Ocelot II Mar 19 #28
Why do you state that? Mysterian Mar 19 #34

Yes. In the context of the whole situation the gallows was more than just "art." Ocelot II Mar 19 #29
