The Man Who Flooded A Town For Sex
In 1993, a man named James Scott purposely damaged a levee and caused a massive flood of the Mississippi River only to stall his wife from coming home so that he could party.
His actions flooded 14,000 acres of farmland, destroyed buildings, and closed a bridge. He was convicted of "intentionally causing a catastrophe" and is still in prison serving a life sentence.
He may be innocent of that since it was some odd thing in the trial, as one of the main whitnesses having a major financial interest in having the cause being vandalism and not natural. However, as he has commited several arsons and burglaries he does belong in jail.

A 30-Year-Old Syrian Man In Turkey (Şanlıurfa) Was Quarantined After Being Diagnosed With Rabies, And After Escaping From Said Quarantine He Was Caught By Teams In An Empty Field
Rabies is really interesting in the most morbid way. It gathers in an host body's saliva but also makes the host terrified of drinking water. This together with excessive saliva production concentrates the hell out of the virus in the host's mouth. The virus makes the host delirious and aggressive with a tendency to bite, and then it spreads to the next host. It is really scare how it is like "engineered" to spread. Making itself concentrate in the mouth and then altering the mind to get the host to bite. It really is like a real life zombie virus.

This is the sort of case where I think that there's a good argument for mercy killing. If you don't have the facilities to put a symptomatic rabies patient in a medically induced coma, there is basicly zero chance of them surviving, and it's a horrible way to die. There's also a high risk to those around them, because the rabies victim will be actively trying to bite them to spread the virus. Sure, quarantine a victim, vaccinate them, hope like hell they aren't infected, but once they're symptomatic and have lost control of their actions, if you can't provide them with the extensive treatment (which almost never works) then just euthanise them as humanely as possible. We would do it for a dog, or a wild animal, so why the hell won't we give mercy to fellow human being? There's no 'sanctity' of human life when that human is insane, in agony, and terminal, and attacking people to infect them with the same lethal virus.
Exactly. I think this is true with any terminal disease. There's no reason to let any living creature suffer longer than they have to. I think if someone is already dying and they're suffering than they should have the choice to be euthanized.

If you get bitten by an animal, get a shot right away. When you get symptoms it's to late and it's a death sentence. It's 100% deadly and you will die in agony. Google says about 15 people have survived rabies world wide, so the odds aren't good...
yup I got bitten by a feral kitten, didnt take chances and went to ER and got the shots. I'm still amazed at how lax the response was by people, like they didn't know how deadly it was, even the Dr. I saw at urgent care, and they had no clue about where to get the shots.

Head shot wound has much higher survival rate than rabies after its symptoms develop.
I’ve heard that once you start displaying the symptoms of rabies, it’s game over and you can’t be saved. Poor guy.
There's a tiny, TINY handful of people that survived in a medically induced coma. But overall: Yes. It's game over. That's why if you even slightly suspect that you could have come in contact, get vaccinated immediately.

This unfortunate person is not a figure to be ridiculed. They have probably done nothing wrong. Contracting an awful disease is not a choice.
There's a video of a man in the hospital in the last stages of rabies. It's very hard to watch. There is no cure for it either.
Maybe no diagnosed but, still, even if rabies cant spread from person to person, that would still be terrifying.
If you think about it, if everybody on Earth was diagnosed with rabies, then it would technically be a zombie apocalypse. Thinking about that sends shivers down my spine.
Just curious, but has the Zombie myth evolved from Haitian voodoo, human rabies victims, or both?
Dying from rabies would be the scariest thing. Once a single symptom hits there's no turning back.
I hope the teams were able to get him treatment. Although the prognosis for rabies is not good, it’s always worthwhile to try.
I think it's considered too late once you exhibit symptoms like this. This poor man.

Rabies is also known as hydrophobia, because victims physically cannot swallow water.
Hydrophobia is a symptom of rabies not another name for it.

61-Year-Old Postal Worker Pamela Rock Was Out Delivering Mail When Her Mail Truck Had Broken Down. When She Got Out Of The Truck To Get Help She Was Attacked By A Pack Of Dogs That Mauled Her To Death
This happened in Florida and was the fifth documented incident involving the dogs in the months leading to Pamela's death. The owner was found completely innocent because he'd realized he couldn't handle the dogs and tried to surrender them, but the local offices didn't get in touch with him. (The dogs were euthanized, but their owner didn't get so much as a slap on the wrist: even OSHA didn't find violations because the man had "made efforts" to fortify the fence all five dogs still managed to escape from and brutally kill her). So apparently, people can create untenable situations by collecting untrained dogs like baseball cards, then try to dump the problem on overworked authorities, and walk away blameless because others didn't clean up his mess before his actions had consequences.

As a truck driver. People please. Our trucks are not your lotto ticket or a ticket to the next life. There are people driving those trucks, most of us are horrified at the thought of harming someone else. Most of us would flip our trucks and risk our own lives to keep from harming you. If you wouldn't smash into another car on purpose, don't hit a truck.
