After the statues, mostly peaceful protesters did the following -
Murder of 6,832[7] members of the Catholic clergy and religious institutes as well as the killing thousands of lay people.
The parish priest of Navalmoral was put through a parody of Christ's Crucifixion. At the end of his suffering the militiamen debated whether actually to crucify him or just shoot him. They finished with a shooting.[75]
The Bishop of Jaén Manuel Basulto y Jiménez and his sister were murdered in front of two thousand celebrating spectators by a special executioner, a woman nicknamed La Pecosa, the freckled one.[76]
Although rare, it was reported that some nuns were raped by militiamen before they were shot.[75] However, according to Antony Beevor, the 1946 nationalist indictment of Republican atrocities contained no evidence for any such incident.[77]
The priest of Ciempozuelos was thrown into a corral with fighting bulls where he was gored into unconsciousness. Afterwards one of his ears was cut off to imitate the feat of a matador after a successful bullfight.[78]
In Ciudad Real, a priest was castrated and his sexual organs stuffed in his mouth.[78]
There are accounts of the people connected to the Catholic Church being forced to swallow rosary beads, being thrown down mine shafts and of priests being forced to dig their own graves before being buried alive.[79]
An eyewitness to some of the persecution, Cristina de Arteaga, who was soon to become a nun, commented that they "attacked the Salesians, people who are totally committed to the poor. There was a rumor that nuns were giving poisoned sweets to children. Some nuns were grabbed by the hair in the streets. One had her hair pulled out...".[68]
*On the night of July 19, 1936 alone, 50 churches were burned.[80] In Barcelona, out of the 58 churches, only the Cathedral was spared, * and similar events occurred almost everywhere in Republican Spain.[81]
All the Catholic churches in the Republican zone were closed, but the attacks were not limited to Catholic churches, as synagogues were also pillaged and closed, though some small Protestant churches were spared.[82]
The Bishop of Almeria was murdered while working on a history of Toledo. His card index file was destroyed.[76]
In Madrid, a nun was killed because she refused a proposition of marriage from a militiaman who helped storm her convent.[75]

Can anyone recommend a good book on the Spanish Civil War?
[–] superspathi 0 points 9 points 9 points (+9|-0) ago
Antony Beevor apparently wrote a history on it. I haven't read it, but I did read his book Stalingrad. He seems to be a very thorough and well researched historian.

Of all the ways to die, being buried alive in a coffin seems the most horrifying. No coffin and its probably a quick death but inside a coffin? No thanks please shoot me if you need me gone.
[–] Glory_Beckons 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
I would say it's the other way around.
Without a coffin, you probably won't even be able to draw a breath. Which means you suffocate quite violently, with a mouth full of dirt. It won't take long, but it'll be a very unpleasant and terrifying couple of minutes.
With a coffin, it will last longer. But you can breathe normally, and just run out of oxygen and pass out gradually, drifting away in the darkness. As long as you can keep your fear under control, and don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you panic, it's probably one of the most innocuous ways of being murdered.
[–] Herpderpicus 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I dont think I can agree. The weight of the dirt would keep you from even taking much of a breathe and the dirt wouldn't allow anything new to your lungs anyway. You wouldn't be conscious any longer than drowning. But in the coffin you can last as long as the o2 lasts down there. Knowing there is six feet of earth above you. Moving your legs and not being able to kick out, scratch out or even omg I cant stand that thought.

Why don't you post information three years old to news - oh wait...
Come on faggot, there are other subs where this would better fit.
[–] irelandLost 1 point 4 points 5 points (+5|-1) ago
It’s 85 year old news, and it’s relevant today.
[–] Joesf23 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
It's totally relevant because when one sees where we have been, you then see where we could be going. I guess sports and weather on the 10:00 news are never allowed to show anything previous to that day. No reference points, nada. Must be happening right this fucking instant. SmH

Not news.

All wars start with the removal of Statues. Most statues in history were gods or kings. People were goofy enough to believe if the statue was removed, the power they held was taken with them.
