Yes, the serious floggings can kill (not shown in your videos). The flogging are actually given in separate batches so that the victim won't die. However, undiagnosed conditions, misplaced blows, psychological stress etc. can kill the victim.
Not to mention it is barbaric and inhumane. (http://archive.is/1gkLH)
>The 19-year-old American who was caned in Singapore for vandalism said today that the bleeding it caused was "like a bloody nose."
>The teenager, Michael P. Fay, said in an interview that the four strokes with a rattan cane on May 5 had left three dark-brown scars on his right buttock and four lines each about half-an-inch wide on his left buttock.
>Mr. Fay said that prison officials told him he shouted, "I'm dying," when the first stroke was delivered. He said he could not remember making the cry.
>He said a prison officer stood beside him and guided him through the ordeal, saying: "O.K. Michael, three left. O.K., Michael, two left. O.K., one more; you're almost done."
>He said he had first looked at the scars in a mirror only two days ago. "I got a shiver down my back," he said, "and I couldn't believe I might have them for the rest of my life."
> "The skin did rip open," he said. "There was some blood. I mean let's not exaggerate, and let's not say a few drops or that the blood was gushing out. It was in between the two. It's like a bloody nose."
>Mr. Fay said the wounds hurt for about five days, after which they itched as they healed. "The first couple of days it was very hard to sit," he said.
While we are on the topic, you may want to defend how the modern Saudi practice of amputating a thief, is more humane than the medieval European punishment of branding. And how the current practice of stoning an adulterer is way better hanging.
>Why are Indians so retarded?
Yes, we are retarded and you guys are the sole light of virtue in this dark immoral world. I shudder to think that my Muslim compatriots want this legalised in India.
