Putting a noose around the neck was common practise, once, even for stealing a loaf of bread you could be hung. I imagine I would have been executed many times if I had the misfortune of living at certain other times down through history and I imagine so would most folk, if they be honest and did you know unbridled anger has the potential to **** a persons spirit, but you will not find many on death row for that crime, but that does not mean that it goes unnoticed.
