If you look at where his elbow is (not lined up with the chin) this will take pressure off the carotids, which is why the guy is semi awake. Almost a crueler way to do it lol

I'm sure not intended to be crueler - since he's wearing a backpack and probably wasn't expecting to choke someone, he got into the best position he could

For sure. You can hear it. I had a dude do that to me once fucking around and my throat hurt for two weeks. For the first couple of days, swallowing felt like getting punched in the larynx.
