Ah, yes. Necklacing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing

Too graphic for LiveLeak. It would be on documentingreality instead.

Also, from the wiki, in 1986, Winnie Mandela, then-wife of the imprisoned Nelson Mandela, stated, "With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country", which was widely seen as an explicit endorsement of necklacing. Lovely.

It definitely wouldn't have been too graphic for liveleak a few years ago. There was plenty of cartel videos for example.
