Stoning, or lapidation, is a method of capital punishment
whereby a group throws stones at a person until they die. No
individual among the group can be identified as the one who
kills the subject. This is in contrast to the case of a
judicial executioner. Slower than other forms of execution,
stoning within the context of contemporary Western culture is
considered a form of execution by torture.
Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group.
It is most often used to characterize informal public
executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged
transgressor, or to intimidate a group. It is an extreme form
of informal group social control such as charivari,
skimmington, riding the rail, and tarring and feathering, but
with a drift toward the public spectacle.[1][2] Lynchings
have been more frequent in times of social and economic
tension, and have often been a means for a dominant group to
suppress challengers. However, it has also resulted from
long-held prejudices and practices of discrimination that
have conditioned societies to accept this type of violence as
normal practices of popular justice.
To be hanged, drawn and quartered was from 1351 a statutory
penalty in England for men convicted of high treason,
although the ritual was first recorded during the reign of
King Henry III (1216�1272). Convicts were fastened to a
hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of
execution, where they were hanged (almost to the point of
death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded and quartered
(chopped into four pieces). Their remains were often
displayed in prominent places across the country, such as
London Bridge. For reasons of public decency, women convicted
of high treason were instead burned at the stake.

Sounds like a George Clinton/Morrissey collaboration.
