The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged. ~grammarist.com

"Past tense, present tense or future tense, it is ALWAYS hanged." ~BBB333 post 39

also: Since the original poster you replied to (LionsGate, post 6) does not state one way or the other if the intended arrestees are meant to be hung (future) until death occurs, your reply may be doubly incorrect. They may only be meant to be hung and tortured.

to take this side discussion further off subject, two more notes:

"Hung refers to the size of a mans penis." ~BBB333 post 30

while technically accurate in common vulgarity, this statement is misleading as in the reader is led to conclude by the phrasing of the post that this the only time the term is accurate.

"Look at the bright side: you learned something today!" ~BBB333, post 39

No, but hopefully you have.

Since this has really gotten far afield of the thread topic, I do apologize to the OP and readers and vow this to be my last post on various conjugations of "hang".

BRAVO!
Now, please take on the “your”, “you’re” crowd.
They deserve to be hanged, IMHO.
