In February 2001, Robbie Williams was attacked and thrown off stage in front of thousands of people in Germany

Hi.

In February 2001, Robbie Williams was attacked and thrown off stage in front of thousands of people in Germany.

He was performing at the Stuttgart's Schleyerhalle stadium in Stuttgart, when out of nowhere a man came rushing behind him and pushed him off the stage. A police spokesperson stated:

A 20-year-old man managed to get from the auditorium into the backstage area of the Schleyerhalle at around 10.05pm last night. He got onto the stage while Robbie Williams was singing, ran at him from behind and pushed him in the back. Robbie Williams did not see him coming, as he was concentrating on the song and the audience, and he fell from the stage into the security area, a drop of around 1.60 metres (5ft 3in). A member of the band - the guitarist - tried to seize the attacker and, in the struggle, the attacker too fell into the security area, where he was held by security staff. Robbie Williams climbed back onto the stage and was able to carry on without a break. He was only lightly injured and did not require the attention of a doctor before continuing the concert. The man was arrested and taken to a doctor. He appears to have psychiatric problems. No trace of alcohol or drugs was found and he did not have a weapon.

The man attacked him because he thought he was a clone of Robbie and not the real singer. Here's the video of the incident:

Reasons why modern hanging is the most humane way to carry out a state execution

We tend to say that someone was ‘hanged’ but in fact this covers two very different forms of execution. The first known as ‘short drop’ or ‘strangulation’ hanging is seen in some films and photos. Typically the victim is standing on a stool or chair. Their hands have been tied behind their back to stop them trying to interfere with the noose. Often their legs would be tied together too but in the past when the hanging was public the audience liked to see the victims legs kick as they died. The stool or chair would be removed and the victim only dropped a short distance depending upon the length of the noose, usually no more the two feet. With the weight of their body pulling down on the noose it tightened and slowly strangled them. This was a horrible and inhumane process which could take anything from 5 to 20 minutes (*see also Michael Mills’s comment below). Please don’t ask me to go into the physiological details . . . they aren’t for the faint-hearted The other method is long drop ...

How the Japanese torture Americans during World War 2

How the Japanese torture Americans during World War 2 To say that the Japanese were barbaric in the treatment of American and other POWs is a gross understatement. Their prison guards were unspeakably cruel and sadistic. Here are some of the inhumane things the Japanese prison guards and other Japanese in the POW camps did: The Japanese starved POWs by feeding them one ball of rice a day, often with worms and maggots in the food. For extra punishment, the Japanese would starve prisoners with no food for a number of days. The Japanese would steal items out of the POWs’ Red Cross packages. Prisoners caught trying to get food, such as coconuts and mangoes from trees around the camp or outside the camp where they worked, would be beat to a bloody pulp (I mean literally) with wooden clubs or rifle butts, often until they were unconscious, and sometimes breaking their bones. The Japanese denied the POWs proper medical care. Prisoners usually had to fend for themselves for medical care, as th...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
