Talk:Garrote

message: 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)

message: 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 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)

message: I'm not expert on the history of the garotte, but I remember when reading the about the Cataline conspiracy that various people were sent to the Tullianum in Rome and were killed with a Laqueus which as I recall is generally translated as a garotte. There is no mention of any use in this article before the middle ages, although clearly as such a simple instrument the garotte is bound to have been used by ancients. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purestgreen (talk • contribs) 08:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Roman use of the garotte 

message: I was under the impression that to "Garrote" someone was to slit their throat? Or in some other way damage their throat to prevent them from breathing, but not strangulation in exact? Morbid subject I know, I'm curious though as it seems to when used as an adjective it describes a bleeding, or freshly cut throat. Is the article improperly named, or?

replies: text: Well, as long as you're so sure. Been everywhere, seen everything, huh? Usage is clearly an issue with this terribly edited article - the first assertion is crap: "A garrote ...is a handheld weapon," and then goes on to merely allude to the execution chair -- which, to Neurosynapse's point, RUPTURES the neck. 71.164.128.167 (talk) 08:21, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I have removed the list of Bond films in which a garotte machine allegedly appears. Although it is correctly cited as appearing in The World is Not Enough (indeed it's a major plot element), there aren't any to be seen in the other film. And From Russia With Love features the use of a hand-held garotte. 68.146.72.113 (talk) 00:12, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

message: This is a very interesting article but i think it loses its way a little. Although it's relevant that this technique was used by Spain, from about halfway through the article the focus is almost purely on the history of execution in Spain. DietJustice (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Spanish focus

message: I am a Spanish citizen and I have never heard anything about this: "In 1935 in Spain the legislature adopted a law prohibiting any member of the armed forces from being a Freemason. As a result of this edict, 80 Freemasons were garroted in Málaga." I sincerelly suspect that the source is not reliable at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.6.233.181 (talk) 20:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  80 Freemasons were garroted in Málaga... Are you sure? 

message: I've stared at it a few times and all I see is a big wooden thing. I'm assuming the garrote is on the wooden thing, it might be a similarly-colored string draped somewhere, but the image seems to imply the garrote is the entire structure. I think we need a picture of a garrote curled up on the floor or somehow remove the other props from the picture. --Aabicus (talk) 23:43, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't think the current photo shows the garrote very well 

message: The piano wire method is also known to cut into the skin, possibly other similarily small diameter devices. Why no mention of this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.52.127 (talk) 13:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of cutting. 

message: The pictures in this article are insane. First and foremost there is someone being killed, which must be against some kind of wiki standards. Also, graphic violence aside, there isn't a visible garrote as described in the article, but some kind of wooden clamp. So this picture is at best confusing and at worst wantonly violent. Then there's a picture of a device that, once again, doesn't seem to be a garrote. In fact, I'm not really sure what it is since the caption doesn't specify.
 
The third picture is fine. It appears to show a garrote and is of some historic value. 
How about we just remove these pictures all together? Or even just the one where the person is being killed.

replies: text: Okay, but what about the picture of the wooden clamp? Unless I’m mistaken, garrotes are thin handheld wires used for strangulation, and either I don’t see one in the image or it’s out of focus compared to the big wooden thing taking up most of the picture. --Aabicus (talk) 21:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
