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.

What Was It
This happened in April last year. A crocodile photographer & conservationist, Tom Chalmers Hayes, who went to the scene suggested it was a trophy hunter's killing. He posted a message on social media stating that there were "...very clear machete marks...on the body and around the neck area where the head has been removed."

Description Of Victim In Allen, Texas
The worst description I've heard after a mass shooting (Uvalde) was how they identified one child by her shoes. Automatic weapons does a lot of harm to childrens bodys and there was not enough left of 10 year old Maite Rodriguez that they could identify her by anything other then her green shoes with hearts on them. (It's really sad and insane that you have to clarify which school shooting and kids something this horrible happened to)
Oh, I'm sure they're already googling the type of bullet that could do something like that so they can go buy a dozen cases for bragging rights to other scared little Fox News addicted friends.

I want after each mass shooting the images of the victims being shown on every news channel, in every news show. People think getting shot is screaming and falling over (or saying ouch and saving the world), I want all this gun-nuts to be fully aware of what their penis enlarger does. (Yes, victims should be asked. Yes, I know they'll never do it.)
Because unless it's a fetus, people have less right to exist than guns. Apparently that's what our leaders decided in the US.

This happened 15 minutes from my house. Took my daughter out to go shopping but first had lunch. The mall was the first place we were going to visit after eating.

But we also don't have an NRA. From the article- The gridlocked nature of U.S. politics—with a system of checks and balances—in part explains the inability to tackle the issue. However, experts say that, ultimately, the reason why the U.S. has been unable to match the progress made in other countries, is the outsized influence of the gun lobby and manufacturers. “The gun lobby has put a stranglehold on some of our elected officials so that they are more beholden to gun manufacturers than to their constituents,” she says. The National Rifle Association (NRA) spends $3 million per year to influence gun policy.

Well, maybe decade. Still a biiiit less. And, yeah. Free to fear for their lifes, their childrens lifes, free to have more guns than self control and free to end in prison in higher numbers than anywhere else. Not free to have a beer in the streets though.

But the Republicans must have their guns! And they must stop abortions so there will be more shooting and beating victims.
This is as good a place as any to say it. We need better for our First Responders. They are underpaid, they don't get decent medical or mental care. When they pass on their families have to fight the system to get the benefits that are owed to them. These brave men and women go into the literal fires and fire fights to save us. We need to do better.
Trump quote after the Iowa mass school shooting: *get over it.*
Give up your guns America, please for your children. If this keeps going on there will no next generation. They'll all be dead, just so their dumb parents have the right to bare arms

this is a pic of a puppy. It didn't kill anyone, didn't get harmed in any way, hasn't gotten sick and is still around with it's owner who takes care of it. It's just a beautiful puppy that you should look at because this list was frankly, traumatizing. Screenshot...79-png.jpg 
I don't mind this kind of "creepy but fascinating" content. I DO mind that when I click on an article showing wildlife photography, I'm greeted with pictures of dead animals. Now I just don't click on wildlife photography pictures. I can still see that poor dead owl in my mind. :(
For anyone who needs an eye bleach from all this, please know we rescued six cats from an abandoned house last night, we cleaned and dewormed them, they had a full meal, and are now happily sleeping in their warm new beds.
I was thinking these would be more "spooky" and "creepy" disturbing than "actually tragic" disturbing 😓
Some of these are interesting but I can’t handle this s**t about violence against children. Cancel this s**t.
I can't be the only who feels like there has to be some warning in these cause the rabies one is actually traumatising (for me at least it's now in my top 3 fears)
