The 1642 case of Thomas Hackett of Salem, Massachusetts, and a cow comes to mind. The stuff you learn when you read history for fun.

I remember that a few years ago a man (as I recall, in Africa) a man was convicted of sexual assault. As part of his punishment, he had to face his victim in court. The victim was, of course, a goat

5:34 This all just makes me really nervous about the rights of someone not being able to speak on their own behalf or defend themselves in British courts. If they’re going to prosecute insects, a person with the most severe of diminished capacity isn’t getting any leniency.

It’s no wonder some of my ancestors GTFO of Europe as soon as a boat was available.

I'm honestly a little disappointed that there weren't any cases in the last 100 years.

Bizarre but interesting. The Romans used to put plants to death. If you were killed by, say, a falling branch, the tree would be sentenced to be uprooted and burned.

Is it too early to ask for Karl to stop shaving his face and start shaving his head? Surely we could get a shaver company on board to sponsor...
@brohen9 ай бұрын
Been meaning to go back and binge the videos with Karl as the host. I liked Simon and all, but he's on way too many channels. Give Karl the spotlight he deserves for once
@j.p.69329 ай бұрын
2:17 There isn’t a face palm large enough! I get maybe they hadn’t seen a monkey before, but wouldn’t they think the other people they were fighting were… PEOPLE?! A monkey is bipedal, but how could anyone not know it’s an animal. Did they think the French just screeched and howled and flung their own feces?
@louisecharette-bertrand95779 ай бұрын
Karl you would have been a good defence lawyer for those animals

Well if they were to put an animal on trial as the thumbnail suggests for a French man I think a frog would have been a better stand in
@j.p.69329 ай бұрын
8:00 What is the logic behind this? An animal is an animal and game for consumption until they commit a crime? Why eat them at all if you won’t eat them after prosecution?

Lightly singeing does not lead to good crackling. Snails in France being sentenced to death could be the origin story of escargot.😊

Simon never owned this or Bio/Geographics channels. There’s a video on this one from a few months ago which explains the situation but basically he left to focus on his own KZbin empire.

10:33 Well there are cases in which false imprisonment results in monetary compensation… It’s not the same as a free crime, but it’s not completely lacking in an attempt at reparation.
@j.p.69329 ай бұрын
9:13 Obviously the laws were based on morals stemming from religious beliefs. The Bible (especially the Old Testament) clearly states that the Jews were the chosen people, and before Christ, the only ones with access to Him, so why and how would they be lower than another ethnicity? Jewish isn’t even a race, but ethnicity like French of British.

I’m sorry but I don’t get where the “funny” part was for cutting off a donkeys feet then burning them to torture and kill them is hilarious enough to warrant multiple takes and edits. Simon was always a realist but didn’t ignore or escape when things were cruel. Wtf
