This sounds like one hell of a hike

Wow, tongue missing? What kind of animal does that?

My bad it was the 35 year old Viktoria Gabriel.

A hypothesized ancient planetary-mass object in the early Solar System that, according to the giant impact hypothesis, collided with the early Earth around 4.31 billion years ago.

This is just so disturbing on so many levels:

It's disgusting but not surprising us american war criminals usually do not pay for their crimes or even get charged.
If you want to read up more on atrocities committed in Vietnam read up on the phoenix program

Pretty standard during war time. For example, in WWII german command regarded Soviets as sub-human and used collective punishment to wipe out whole villages if there was any resistance

In response Russian soldiers finally entered Germany, they killed men and children, and raped German woman then nailed their naked corpses on barns and houses

You go back into human history any distance at all and you will cringe at how awful war was. Killing prisoners and torturing their leaders to death, all common. Individual Mongol warriors would be tasked after taking a city would to decapitate 20 or 30 citizens to ensure the entire city was wiped out as punishment for it's resistance.

One of my favorites stories from the Roman Punic Wars is about the general Regulus. After a series of victories against Carthage, he lost a big battle in Africa and was captured. The Carthaginians, heady from their big victory, planned to torture him to death, but offered him a parole if he would go back to Rome and negotiate a peace agreement on their behalf.

So he goes to Rome, tells the Senate that Carthage is weak! Don't offer peace, attack them! Then voluntarily returns to Carthage to abide by his agreement, where he's tortured to death by being shut in a box lined with nails.

The history of war is awful.

A Black Mirror episode has an interesting take on this (which can be found on Netflix). Putting it in spoilers so if someone wants to watch them all without this knowledge...

The story of Regulus might be a total fiction: http://www.inter-disciplinary.net/pr...ure-dpaper.pdf.

Thanks for posting that, DC, led me to many interesting reads.

Calley was punished and the US has acknowledged how awful this was. That is a damn sight better than most countries.

I would rather the U.S. have denied this, instead of doling out one weak punishment, for this atrocity.

Can't believe the three guys who tried to shelter the villagers were called traitors.

I think admitting it made it less likely to recur. I would have liked to see a harsher punishment for Calley, of course, but admitting is is far better than lying to cover it up.

The Keddie Cabin Murders

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keddie_murders

Crazy and sad that this has not been solved and likely never will.

It doesn't look like the article is very complete. I don't get how there's a composite of two murder suspects and a list of five murder suspects, but none of them get mentioned in the article.

Really interesting link though, thanks for sharing.

Priviledge unchecked

Taking Hoarding to a new level.

If you are going to post the link, at least do it correctly like we used to in this thread, with a little interesting summary.

Interesting that because they were eccentric hoarders, there is a 'park' on that land where a house that would be valued around $2.5M would probably sit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcai..._trial_of_2004

Interesting case.

This remote island only has about 50 residents, so eventually "three judges, several prosecution and defence lawyers, other court staff, and six journalists travelled from New Zealand to the island in late September for the seven-week trial".

They had to built a jail also.

Being tried (and convicted) was a third of the male population. Damn.

The mayor got done in 2010 for possession of child porn as well.

Sounds like a great place.

A friend of mine works for a British embassy and had a report on Pitcairn on his desk recently. Written / published by the British governor. Plenty of effort for ~25 pedos.

wtf is your problem. Link seems to work fine, and the description of the link is pretty similar to hundreds of links in this thread.

Also, the link was posted over four years ago.

As you probably know already, the trial lasted seven years and cost $15 million, the longest and most expensive criminal case in the history of the United States legal system, and ultimately resulted in no convictions.

I'll throw out one name, related to the case, and let people do their own research; Paul Bynum. His apparent suicide the day before he was due in court, for evidence supporting the kids testimony, seems of the most interest. Especially when Paul Bynum had a family and everyone that knew him was in great shock that he would end his own life the way it allhappened.

Sorry its hard for me to accept the coincidence that the person who was due to testify and present key evidence is found dead less than a day before he was due in court. Before anyone calls me a conspiracy nut, I'd like to just point out this is no ordinary court case, I believe the most expensive court case in history will likely have many elements of foul play, and whatever truly happened will probably never be revealed.

.....

remember

1.) Most Expensive case in US history
2.) Key figure/testimony in case, is found dead and reasoning for his death is very suspect
