Cement Shoes	comment	When gangsters are punishing someone for crossing them, they often have the victim tied up to a chair with his feet in a barrel, into which they pour quick-drying concrete. Once the concrete is dry, the victim is then dropped into a body of water, simultaneously killing the target and disposing of the body in a supposedly untraceable manner. Depending on the exact methods used, overlap with some form of Death Trap can occur. This is largely a Discredited Trope, as gangland murders are not actually performed in this manner as frequently as all that — in fact, according to Wikipedia's page on the subject, there's just one single solitary case documented from real life. Most real gangland murders are simple bullet/tire iron to the head affairs that generally lack the torture (or opportunity to escape or be rescued Just in Time, if you're a main character) that fiction demands. What is more common, though, is for gangsters to kill someone in a more prosaic way, then weigh the body down and toss it over, making this a way of Disposing of a Body. It may also be related to a similar method of execution supposedly once used by the Freemasons against oath-breakers.note "Never to reveal our secrets under no less a penalty than my throat be cut across, my tongue be torn out by its root, and that I be buried in sand a cable's length from shore.â€� See also Constructive Body Disposal, for when the victim is left (alive or dead) at the bottom of a construction site while the basement is being poured. Also compare Drowning Pit. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

It's to keep them prisoner and prevent them from using their powers, which focus through their hands. Might be a villainous example of Cruel Mercy, or maybe just plain sadism/sociopathy.

Cement Shoes / int_14f9297e	comment	Frequently spoofed in The Far Side. Fish gangsters encase a victim's fins in styrofoam, sending him on a deadly trip to the surface to "sleep with the humans". Another had the sandwich mafia dropping their victim into a school cafeteria to sleep with the fourth graders. There is another cartoon with a man trapped inside a trash can and dropped off in a forest to "sleep with the bears" And then, when gangsters in The Far Side are feeling especially vicious, they'll paint a victim's face with mime makeup and trap him in a soundproof glass box on the street, where he slowly and painfully dehydrates to death. The cartoon shows one of these victims desperately screaming to be let out — and a tourist, thinking he's just witnessing a harmless bit of street theatre, simply snaps a picture with his camera. And another one where two mobsters were dropping a dog with all four paws encased in cement off a bridge, and explaining to a passer-by that "he bit the Godfather".

He tries it on someone else later on, only to have Tracy save the would-be victim and use the box for an ambush. (Unfortunately, he absent-mindedly gets cement in his gun, causing it to jam.

When Bart is accused of either murdering Principal Skinner or ordering the mob to murder him (the mob just talked to him and left; he was actually trapped under a pile of newspapers in his basement), Bart imagines seeing Skinner's corpse in various places, coming to life and saying "You killed me!" One such Imagine Spot was Skinner at the bottom of a lake with his feet in cement shoes. In one case, Fat Tony had to emphasize that when he said Troy McClure was "sleeping with the fishes", it wasn't in terms of dying.

Cement Shoes / int_304d4028	comment	Spirou & Fantasio: Bad guys attempted this at least four times on heroes, but always failed for some reason. In the short story Spirou et les hommes-grenouilles (Spirou and the frogmen), Spirou, by the seashore, watches a diver busy to search for sunken merchandise. But he's caught by criminals, after the same merchandise, who decide to throw him in the sea with a stone tied to his neck. But only the stone, and the broken rope, fell into water when tossed. Spip managed to gnaw it away from prying eyes. The criminals proceed to do it again with a new rope and stone, but they are interrupted by Fantasio who order everyone to hands up. In La ceinture du grand froid (The big cold ring), Fantasio is captured by sailors who stole him his special shoes, designed to walk on water. Then he's tossed into sea with a stone tied to his neck. However, Fantasio managed to discretely exchange his shoes with the ones of a sailor, and he still wear the special pair. Then he walk back to safety on water, but with a quite handicapping weight tied to him. In Vito la dÃ©veine (Vito Misfortune) Vito Cortizone crashes his seaplane along with its freight off the coast of a Polynesian atoll. After he spent weeks on a deserted island, along come Spirou and Fantasio with their boat near this island. Vito forces Fantasio to bring back to the surface the crates from the freight for a few days. Once he have them all, Vito try to get rid of the two heroes. He makes them go into their inflatable boat, with rope and two crates. Then he demand, under the threat of a weapon note A fake one, but Spirou and Fantasio don't know, that Fantasio tie up Spirou 's hands. After that Vito planned to tie Fantasio's hands as well, attach each of them to a crate, and toss them into the sea. However, Fantasio is still in the middle of the task of tying up Spirou's hands when a Chinese mafia's boat arrives, and they are after Vito. The latter panics, and finally cut Spirou's bonds, while begging the two heroes to help him against the Triad instead. In the end of Le groom de Sniper Alley (Sniper alley's bellboy), Spirou and Fantasio, back from the treasure 's hunt Vito Cortizone forced them to do, explain that they found a parchment. Cue to Spirou, Fantasio and Spip chained to concrete blocks and ready to be tossed by mafiosi into the Hudson river, as Vito is not happy with a Worthless Treasure Twist. However, Spirou and Fantasio have time to explain that the parchment lead to about thirty treasures's hideouts, and Vito finally let them go.
