Hey Tommy. You may rather be shot but I would rather just be on the other end of the rope...

Apologies for bringing this back to the top.

But I saw this picture and it reminded me of this post. The person lynched has been erased from the photo, along with the rope by the artist Ken Gonzales-Day around 2006.

The original photo is purported to have been taken in California, and is of a Mexican bandit (?) that was hung. I've yet to find a copy of the unaltered photo.

Of note is the US Army soldiers and uniforms, similar to the picture that started the original post back in 2020.

I personally believe that Capital Punishment works. For those that disagree, I would ask since Ted Bundy's execution, how many young girls or young ladies has he brutally raped, murdered, tortured, or beheaded? Plus the burden doesn't fall upon the taxpayers to keep these monsters alive in our prisons for years on end. If someone is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, they may live to be 80 years old in prison. Someone is footing the bill to keep them alive all this time. Guess who that someone is......That's right. JMHO
I personally dont endorse state sponsored murder, but Im not here to debate that. I just thought you should know that a carried out death sentence costs the state significantly more than housing someone for life. The never ending appeals process and lawyers cost wayyyyy more than a lifetime prison sentence. Most defendants who are sentenced to death essentially end up spending life in prison, but at a highly inflated cost because the death penalty was involved in the process.

While I have the historical experts on a roll. What would you think was going on here? Mexican American War of a soldier or? Just some thoughts thats all ?
Odd pics.

Why a midget for an anchorman while others watch while holding rifles instead of helping...
Why a telegraph pole along a railroad...
Less work to just remand the subject to a law authority. Or shoot him.
Being shot can be worse than being hung! Depends on where you're hit and it's effect...

I suspect it is a shenanigan type staged event.
Guy ate the last biscuit or something.

I guess if you have an appreciation for history you should have an appreciation for the dark side of it as well. I will see what I can find. How did you come about these images and had there been any information provided along with these images?
