Tarring and feathering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 5 views
-
In a typical tar-and-feathers attack, the subject of a crowd's anger would be stripped to the waist. Boiling hot[citation needed] tar was either poured or painted onto the person while he or she was immobilized. Then the victim either had feathers thrown on him or her or was rolled around on a pile of feathers so that they stuck to the tar. Often the victim was then paraded around town on a cart or a rail. The aim was to hurt and humiliate a person enough to leave town and not cause any more mischief.
