Too Many Bankers – Not Enough Guillotines

[longship]

5. Joseph Ignace Guillotin

Joseph Ignace Guillotin invented the head chopping instrument that bears his name. Myself, I think it's proper that Joseph Ignace himself was put to death by the very device he invented.

Also Wiki: Lavoisier, who discovered oxygen and who might have contributed to chemistry and atomic theory was also swallowed by Dr. Guillotin's insidious death device.

Sometimes revolutions swallow their own.

Death penalties are evil and have historically been implemented as a matter of convenience to those in power.
