An incident of tar and feathering occurred in Northern Ireland in August 2007 committed by Protestants on a local man who was said to have been a drug dealer.
This was a regular occurrence in Northern Ireland in the 1970s/80s and it happened many times a lot later than 1981 as stated in this video . It was seen as a milder form of punishment to drug dealers or burglars and car thieves, as opposed to being kneecapped with a hand gun, an assault rifle or in some cases an electric drill. If you were Tared and Feathered you could consider yourself lucky.
Great video! I always figured the tar and feathers were symbolic of something back then. It's actually even more humiliating that it was just stuff that was on-hand. There wasn't any real thought put into it!
There was a tarring and feathering of a drug dealer in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2007. The paramilitaries tied the man to a lamppost and made the man wear a sign saying ‘I am a drug dealing scumbag’ while passers by recorded it on their phones.
You said Joseph smith was born in 1830 and he was Tarred and feathered in 1832. Just a heads up! Love your channel it’s the highlight of my days when you post New videos!
Maybe the narrator got so excited for including this that he confused the Church's Organization (birth if you will) with Joseph Smith. 🤔😉 But hey, at least they were smart enough to include this portion of History as well as information about today's Church name and symbols. 😊👍
This entire time I assumed it was black tar and assumed it would kill you, or atleast cause massive permanent damage, I always felt it was overkill of a punishment, now I’m learning it’s pine tar. Still seems like overkill, but maybe the Crimes were bad
If a crowd is angry at you better to be tarred and feathered than lynched. Maybe if people were allowed this outlet there would be less murders and assassinations
Famous poem, "Skipper Ireson's Ride," by John Greenleaf Whittier - " Old Floyd Ireson, for his hard heart, Tarred and feathered and carried in a cart By the women of Marblehead! " He was the captain of a ship that went down, the women were the wives and mothers of the men who drowned while he saved himself.
It’s because it’s an enlightenment era “lynch mob” but more libertarian. You can voice your grievances without resorting to murder which is barbaric in comparison. Sounds like a good thing to me
I'm so happy you explained the Feathers. My dumb behind was like "so did they kill like 10 chickens cos they were mad at a guy?? Seems like a lot of work"

Thank you for the simple fact that this may be a forgotten thing in our past but somehow I manage to remember it just enough to threaten to do it to folks every now and then!!!
Actually this happened to a kiddy diddler in my town in the early 90’s. Ultimately he was killed but it was kept quiet and the men that did it were never found. (Nobody was looking). The shotgun blast to the face was the cause of death.
I have never heard of Pine Tar. When people would refer to Tar and Feather… I also would think of regular Tar. I love to learn new things all the time… no matter how small or insignificant it might be. Interesting. I always thought people would DIE from this from burns. Thanks for putting this up. Meow.
Not just Joseph Smith but several Mormon men and leaders were tarred & feathered, beaten and/or murdered while Mormon pioneers made their trek west toward Utah. This especially happened in Navoo, Illinois.
People in the comments section: "Bring it back! Bring it back!" Video: "It follows that when something so dangerous is so accessible, it's bound to fall into the hands of the worst kind of people."
I'm 58 years old. When I was in elementary school the textbooks used cartoons from the day to teach us that this was a funny thing to do to someone. No. This was torture, and the process would throw the victim into such physical shock that many were killed by it. The colonial governor we tarred and feathered during the Revolution was still picking cooked flesh off his body for years afterward. Till his death, he saved some of the huge chunks of cooked skin and muscle that had dehydrated. And just because there is no reference to anyone dying of the process does not mean it didn't happen. Records were usually only kept by the victors. This information is from the victim's diaries and accounts by other court officials.
Let's create a hypothetical, more modern example. The son of a local judge is well known for dealing meth to kids, burglary, public intoxication, and an unhealthy interest in children. He will not be locked up, he will pay no fines. Maybe lets round up about 30 people, some pinetar and pillows and teach him the error of his ways.
Ahhhh….the days when we held public figures, politicians and clergy without favouritism and publicly punished them for misdeeds not worthy of their titles!
Remember, mormon founder joseph smith was tarred and feathered for being over-familiar with a pair of brothers' young sister. He was also to be castrated on the spot but the doctor present chickened out.
I've been saying this for months. Of course being the edgy person that I am I also propose we carve their sins into their forehead so that any time they try to speak publicly the whole world will know of their sins.
Northern Ireland here....The last person tarred and feathered was in 2007. A drug dealer punished by the paramilitaries. Previously in 2003 two teenage boys were tared and feathered again by paramilitaries, there is a news report about it on youtube.

In Canada, the British Loyalist in the American Revolution are called 'Untied Empire Loyalist'. Many of them once they crawled out of the ditch or swamp they had been thrown into, after being tarred and feathered, packed up their things and moved to Canada.
I binge a lot of true crime, and I'm always wondering what kind of punishment we could inflict on child abusers in particular. I don't know how it didn't cross my mind, having grown up Mormon, that Joseph Smith's neighbours had come up with the solution 200 years ago. Shaving, tarring, and feathering genitals sounds like a step in the right direction. It's not quite 'going medieval' but 'going 19th century' has a decent ring to it, and making their punishment visible sounds like an effective public service, more than simply 'registering as an offender' might do on its own.
@@-NateTheGreat I was wondering about that, 'cause the video says tarring never caused serious health damage. But that sticky stuff did had to come off somehow.... Like, how were thay able to clean up Joseph Smith so fast that he could preach later on the same day?

Joseph Smith was born in 1805, not 1830. If he was born in 1830, he would have been tarred and feathered at the age of 2...a bit harsh to punish a toddler like that...if he was born in 1830 like was said in the video, but he was born in 1805

@@markrichards6863 ..... I know a lot more than you do and all of my information is factual. Joseph Smith never said any of those things you are claiming..... Real research is difficult, and even painful because it is time consuming and requires a lot of effort if you want to get to the truth, but people like you get your truth off of watching a RUclips video Or reading anti pamphlets that have been thrown together.
Tarred, feathered, and put into stocks for a full week. I think a solid, humiliating week of letting EVERYONE have a crack at them might straighten out some of this hogshit we've been letting them get away with for the last 75 years.
I'm glad I watched this. For decades I believed that pouring tar on people would kill them due to the intensity of the heat. I always believed it to be like °500 degrees but seems more like room temperature, Hersheys syrup.
It's neither. As the video explains, the pitch was still hot enough to cause burns. I mean, just look at one of the pictures from the article. It's a photo of a man with burns on his chest from being tarred and feathered. Also, he talks about how hot the pitch gets in the video.
The guy bending over, covered in white feathers, with straps or reins around his thighs looks really happy to be there. Are you *sure* it was always a punishment?
I think being tarred could eventually cause death, through persistent and recurring infection. They are burn victims. The amount of skin affected is as damaging as the severity of the burn.
I'm sure it still happens. Nothing ever goes away completely. I hope no one is actually burned with modern tar though, something like this should just be for humiliation.
Get this: Another Tarring and Feathering incident with women involved happened in 1906, when several young Pennsylvania housewives, believing another woman to be engaging in immoral and evil behavior, burst into her home and poured molasses-based tar on her with the feathers. They then forced her outside, marched her down to the railroad tracks and left her tied to a crate in front of hundreds of (understandably) shocked workmen. Luckily for her, one of the men took pity and released her not long after.
as a 4 y.o. kiddo with my older siblings, we discovered a leftover tar dump in a ditch from a road crew. I got stuck to it so bad my clothes were pulled off me, i was tar covered head to toe. Even my hair! And had to walk all the way home like that. My poor momma had to get all that tar off me. LOL

@@perfectfae3534 honestly it’s been like 10 years since it happened so I don’t remember but I would at least hope they did
Could you do an episode on "branding heretics" around the 12th century?
Joseph Smith was born in 1805, not 1830. If he was born in 1830, he would have been tarred and feathered at the age of 2...a bit harsh to punish a toddler like that...if he was born in 1830 like was said in the video, but he was born in 1805
Yeah, but he was still a con man
@@markrichards6863 ...... You know nothing about him except the propaganda.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 Joseph Smith was a con man, who claimed his magic seer stones translated fake gold tablets that mysteriously disappeared. He was a pervert that believed it was okay to force under age girls into polygamous relationships with dirty old men like Brigham Young. You know nothing about him.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 I know enough about the fraud. If you're LDS, you should learn the Truth that is Jesus the Christ.
@@markrichards6863 ..... I know a lot more than you do and all of my information is factual. Joseph Smith never said any of those things you are claiming..... Real research is difficult, and even painful because it is time consuming and requires a lot of effort if you want to get to the truth, but people like you get your truth off of watching a RUclips video Or reading anti pamphlets that have been thrown together.
In light of the last two years seems we should bring this back for politicians and bureaucrats.
I could see this happening to Dr. Fauci
@@bnhik love your name.
The My Pillow guy…
Tarred, feathered, and put into stocks for a full week. I think a solid, humiliating week of letting EVERYONE have a crack at them might straighten out some of this hogshit we've been letting them get away with for the last 75 years.
Where's the beef?
Interesting. What about the punishment/embarrassment of 'riding a person out on a rail'? What is the history and meaning of that?
Wonder how long it took for it to come off
I'm glad I watched this. For decades I believed that pouring tar on people would kill them due to the intensity of the heat. I always believed it to be like °500 degrees but seems more like room temperature, Hersheys syrup.
It's neither. As the video explains, the pitch was still hot enough to cause burns. I mean, just look at one of the pictures from the article. It's a photo of a man with burns on his chest from being tarred and feathered. Also, he talks about how hot the pitch gets in the video.
No taxation without representation!
Love the George Brett reference 👌
OOoh!!! The George Brett incident! You didn't!
I just can't believe they'd give up their pillows for that!
Fun fact, in Finland we have tar in sodas and in booze 😂 also essentials oil to be thrown on sauna stove to create a nice smell
wtf lmao interesting
I read a medieval recipe for mead that includes a ball of pine tar. Nice to see it's always been used. Does it taste....piney?
You know something my 100 year old grandmother did mention this a couple times AMEN. Philadelphia USA
I would like to see a video on the history of Necklacing
Saw it on Pornhub. Oh you mean the other type.
@@rodneyspider9452 😐
You said that Joseph Smith was born in 1830 and tarred and feathered in 1832....that makes him two years old
The guy bending over, covered in white feathers, with straps or reins around his thighs looks really happy to be there. Are you *sure* it was always a punishment?
In 2022 it's just a fetish now
I think being tarred could eventually cause death, through persistent and recurring infection. They are burn victims. The amount of skin affected is as damaging as the severity of the burn.
We need to bring this back... politicians take heed
NO 👎
I'm sure it still happens. Nothing ever goes away completely. I hope no one is actually burned with modern tar though, something like this should just be for humiliation.
i wish u happy birdday dear.
Just love when I get what I want. Thank you great video.
👍
Get this: Another Tarring and Feathering incident with women involved happened in 1906, when several young Pennsylvania housewives, believing another woman to be engaging in immoral and evil behavior, burst into her home and poured molasses-based tar on her with the feathers. They then forced her outside, marched her down to the railroad tracks and left her tied to a crate in front of hundreds of (understandably) shocked workmen. Luckily for her, one of the men took pity and released her not long after.
The show on John Adams demonstrates the brutality of feathering and tarring.
Yeah.
as a 4 y.o. kiddo with my older siblings, we discovered a leftover tar dump in a ditch from a road crew. I got stuck to it so bad my clothes were pulled off me, i was tar covered head to toe. Even my hair! And had to walk all the way home like that. My poor momma had to get all that tar off me. LOL
Are you telling the truth?
@@mayadub2271 1960's. Yep. Upstate NY where my dad was stationed. Sadly it's true. LOL
@@roxyloveslucy Are you actually telling the truth?
I feel like the guy getting tarred and feathered might not just forgive and forget.
a moment of silence for the people in the comments saying “tared” instead of “tarred”
Like when you want a kitchen/postal scale to go to zero? Tared?
We had an incident of tar and feather of a professor at the University of Stellenbosch Western Cape South Africa in the early 1980s.
