41. Sure, the rope might be strong enough but the platform and supports aren't execution-ready

> you wouldn't take your chances to wrap that around your neck and jump off that platform.
YOLO leaping from the platform with rope on neck is not how unwilling victims behave. How would you get an unwilling person to hang from that absurdity long enough to die? IMHO, it would be challenging at best.

How many people do you think can safely stand on the platform? Because you'd need a couple there just to keep the victim from swinging back onto it, if the whole rig doesn't collapse as soon as they push him/her off.

The "gallows" was intended to send a message, not as functional execution equipment. If TSF gets reelected and has his way with the legal system, you can bet the gallows he employs to murder his enemies will be built by professionals in broad daylight and look very different. TSF will praise them as "best most patriotic gallows ever seen by anyone" while watching them operate from a viewing stand. Meanwhile the one pictured above is a hastily-constructed prop even the trespassholes noted with an attached sign saying "this is art". You can see it clearly in a photo posted to this thread. This device was never intended for use.
