        natives of the Jivaro tribe for president

        In 1599, a Spanish governor in early colonial Ecuador suffered this fate. Native Indians of the Jivaro tribe, unscrupulously taxed in their gold trade, attacked the settlement of Logrono and executed the gold hungry governor by pouring molten gold down his throat. Pouring hot liquids or metals, such as lead or gold, into the mouth of a victim was a practice used on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, by the Romans and the Spanish Inquisition among others.

      I always understood it as "we won't need excuses" cuz there are more than enough reasons for "the terror"

        Yeah, the whole reason behind the quote is about how the french made excuses for executing the aristocracy and allowed it to be labeled as a bad thing. They shouldn't have made excuses when they could have just pointed at history and said "what's better? Kill them now or allow their cancer to kill millions of our children?"
