Talk:Garrote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As much as I love seeing a still from that scene, is the image of Luca Brasi getting strangled to death appropriate for the article? It doesn't really show the garrotte itself. 68.14.76.151 04:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. It is horrifying and a diagram of the garrotte or something similar would be more appropriate. Since we seem to agree on the matter, I'll remove it. Kyarorain 17:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Short History
Much of this section is devoted to executions in Spain and not the actual history of garroting, I don't know if anybody else thinks it should be removed, it just reads poorly.
The article also seems not to address criminal use of the garrote except a brief mention of use by assasins. I don't know if it's reputation for use in organized crime is warranted, but I think it should be addressed, either with a mention of its use or a note that the reputation isn't warranted, whichever is the case.

[edit] Cela
I heard that Camilo José Cela managed to acquire what he was told was the last used garrote of the Spanish penal system. It is on show at the Cela Foundation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.20.17.84 (talk) 13:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you can find a reliable citation or reference for that, then go ahead and add it to the article. If its just something you heard, then other readers and editors have no way of knowing whether its true or just here-say. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information. Wikipedia:Citing sources explains how to cite the reference if you find one. Ollie 13:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
