    Default Messed Up News Quarantine thread

    Thread's purpose is to contain all the news that might run the risk of ruining your day but still give you the option of seeing just how fucked up this world of ours can get.

    Honour killings: Man guns down six daughters – The Express Tribune

    Son tells father that 2 of his 6 teen-aged daughters are dating college-aged boys. Father calmly lines them up and shoots all 6 girls while mother/wife and son watch.

    It kind of irritated me when it mentioned Pakistan's ranking amongst the other countries for their treatment of women. This has more to do with how fucked up in the head many men are, in general.

    Mother bear kills cub and then itself

    In China bears are apparently farmed for bile and it's agonizing to the bears. Momma bear breaks away from her restraints in response to her baby bear's cries. When she can't free the suffering little guy, she smothers him to death before killing herself in a headlong sprint into a wall.

    I dunno about the accuracy of the story, but it's fucked up.

    It's so warm outside I thought I might cool down with this oldy from earlier this year.

    Massacre horrifies B.C.: Man shoots 100 sled dogs ‘execution-style’ after Olympic slowdown

    Earlier this year, a man who works for a dogsledding company was charged with making the business more profitable after a post-olympics boon never materialized. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, the man is tasked with slitting the throats of or shooting 100 dogs. The process is haphazard, leading to panicked dogs, non-fatal wounds, dogs with half-faces and dangling eyes sprinting around, and a mass grave filled with dying dogs.

    Well based on what Canada does in the arctic to baby seals every year totally legally, I don't see how these people can be charged in a court of law - it would be utter hypocrisy.

    The day ruiner.

    Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | World News :: Bear’s eating me, girl told mum in call

    Step-father and step-daughter were fetching a left-behind fishing rod along a stream in Russia when they were attacked by a hungry mother bear with 3 cubs. The father was overpowered and died from a snapped neck. The step-daughter who witnessed the attack made a break for it but was run down by the mother bear. In her shock, she manages to call her mother on 3 separate occasions to detail her own death. "She screamed: “Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!’”"

    "In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me”."

    "With the bears having apparently left her to die, she said: “Mum, it’s not hurting anymore. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.”"

    NEW ORLEANS – A Louisiana man is accused of bludgeoning, decapitating and dismembering his disabled 7-year-old son and leaving the boy's head near the street so the child's mother would see it — a killing that brought seasoned police officers to tears, authorities said Monday.

    Courthouse News Service

    A 14-year-old boy got into a fight at a school bus stop and the school district's police officer responded by shooting him to death, the boy's mother says. She says the cop had been reprimanded 16 times in the previous 4 years, suspended without pay 5 times, and "recommended for termination for insubordination," but the school kept him on the force "without remedial training."

    we had about a dozen security guards at my high school, and there were like three or four cops that were in the youth unit or whatever. They would do the D.A.R.E. stuff at middle schools and I would see the occasionally in high school. The security guards were not armed, the cops obviously were.

    Sorry to derail the thread, but for those of you that had cops or security guards at your schools, how big were the towns you grew up in?

    I went to a school that wiki says is 94% white. I think my class size was ~300 people? Extrapolate from that the size of the town, but I think we were just standard fare white suburbia. Lots of neighborhoods and generally nothing to do.

    If we could track it, I think we would find that a very surprising percentage of human progeny is a product of rape.

    Wait is that their baby product of rape estimate? That would be pretty high if directly from rape

    What matters more is the percentage of rapists or potential rapists who have children. That number I bet is extremely high. The potential part would be impossible to calculate, but it's an important point given the nurture aspect of genetic expression

    All I'm saying is people vastly underestimate how much rape there is in the world, and what it really means. It means that we all pretty much have rapists in our genes

    I find it very disturbing as well, but I think perhaps it can be explained by Chinese labor conditions. In some factories the conditions are so bad that they get fired by simply speaking. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who ran her over would have lost their $5/day jobs/living space/etc if they had stopped. Obviously I don't know the scenario, but that kind of thing is plausible and in some ways standard in areas of China

    I've heard it's because of the litigious atmosphere in China where helpers have been saddled with big damages fines even if it's known they had no part in the accident. The Chinese people have a overwhelming attitude of not wanting to stir up any trouble for themselves so they pretend to be wholly unaware of what's going on.

    It's probably something like that. Scenario just defies belief so much that there's gotta be a very strong self-preservation motivation for people just walking past

    As a complete thread derail, have been in 3 serious relationships in my life (including present wife) and all 3 were raped previous to my knowing them... it is hugely prevalent in my opinion.

    It's just. In the past people lived in their village, most for their whole life, and didn't hear or care too much about outside. But if you put all the billions of people TOGETHER, which is what global media does, and report on the worst, then this is what you get.
