The Catholic church when Sinead O'Connor tore the pope's picture up on stage. Everything she was making statement about was 100% true.

Recently there was this dude in a town in Ontario who filed assault charges on his neighbour for spraying him with a water gun. Her story comes out first to the media, saying how she can't return to work as school support staff until the charges are sorted out, and gives a story about how she was just having a fun water gun fight with the neighbour kids and accidentally sprayed the neighbour while he was mowing his lawn.
Week later, his story gets published in the paper. He's repeatedly received targeted harassment for this neighbour and others, he says likely because he's the one black guy on the street of a small town, in an interracial marriage, and releases his security camera footage of him just casually cutting his lawn, with the other neighbour actively telling the kid to bring her the water gun while she's standing behind him, then sprays him directly with it. And the camera also captures the audio of the aftermath where some racial slurs are dropped (also a recurring thing). What's also funny is that the neighbour claimed that there was some language barrier misunderstanding between them... The guy is straight up Canadian and speaks clearer than most people.

I've heard different reasons. One is that they advertised that their coffee would still be hot when you get home. Another was that supposedly the hotter the water the fewer coffee grounds you need, so its cheaper to make the coffee that way. I don't know if any are true, but that's what I've been told.

What? Her labia didn’t “melt”; they were severely burned, and unless the lips were somehow held apart as they healed (they normally touch), they were gonna fuse. There’s no “melting,” but rather severe wounds (burns).

Every time I hear this story I am still perplexed by the idea that someone thought it was a good idea to put a cup of coffee between her legs so she could pry off the lid. Anyone who has wrested with a lid will know how difficult is can be. It is challenging when you have a table to work on. Trying to do this in a car, whilst ho.ding the cup between your legs is incredibly foolish. Yes, the coffee was far too hot. No, it wasn't a frivolous lawsuit. But it was still a very foolish and reckless thing to do.

Yeah but wasn't she like in her mid 70s when it happened? Which, frankly, makes it even worse--she was medically fragile--but means that her death was very likely just, you know, reaching the end of her timeline.

Well, it wasn't McDonald's, it was the manager of that particular restaurant. He kept the coffee well hotter than what was legally allowed and had actually been cited by the board of health prior to the incident for having the coffee too hot. He'd turn the temperature down, then turn it back up after the inspector left.
Bored Panda got in touch with the netizen who asked this question and they were kind enough to provide some more details. Naturally, we wanted to hear more about what, if anything, prompted them to make the post in the first place. “It was initially to get ideas for a story I was writing.”
“I even mentioned it in the thread at the beginning of its life, but people started downvoting me for no reason. (So I deleted that comment.) Reddit loves negativity, the internet loves negativity. Most popular r/askreddit posts are either about sex or negative things. I do not.”

Susan Smith. She was all over the news begging for the return of her two boys who were toddlers. Stating she had been carjacked. After several days, it was discovered that she had let her car roll into a lake with her babies strapped into their car seats. I'll never forget hearing it on the radio driving home from work. My children were their age at the time and I had to pull off the road because I couldn't see through the tears.

When I was in college there was a young woman who claimed she was getting into her car when someone shoved her into the car from behind and attempted to r**e her in broad daylight. She said they stopped and took off when another car rolled through the parking lot. The story sounded off, so a lot of people were skeptical at first. That led to an outpouring of support, with post-it notes popping up all over the school that said “I believe her”. There was a lot of talk about victim-blaming, and the need for people to support victims.
About a week and a half later, after news stations asked to interview her, she recanted her story and admitted that she’d made the whole thing up for attention.
What really pissed me off about that situation was that she handed ammunition to the a******s who claim “women make up r**e accusations all the time”.

But most of us are NOT crying wolf. Nobody would believe me when my coworker hurt me because I was "too fat" for him to be attracted to. It wasn't about attraction. It was about power, and he wanted to have power over me. It came out later that he'd done it to a number of others, but I was the first to report, and that's why they didn't believe me.

Mick Philpott. He wanted to show that his ex was violent and dangerous to their children and he wanted to play the hero. He devised a plan to set alight to his family home and he would "rescue" the children. Unfortunately, the fire took hold faster than he anticipated and all six of his children died. He then played the victim on TV shows and news until they discovered that he set the fire.
glowworm2 1 year ago
This guy was already a villain to begin with. Get a load of this from Wikipedia: In July 1978, aged 21, Philpott attempted to murder Kim Hill, his girlfriend of two years; their relationship began when she was aged 15. He had previously shot Hill in the groin with a crossbow because he felt her dress had been too short, and had cracked her kneecap with a hammer when she paid too much attention to a baby she had been minding. Philpott attempted to kill Hill by stabbing her over a dozen times as she was lying in bed, because she sent him a letter saying she was leaving him. He also stabbed Hill's mother when she came to her daughter's aid. Hill suffered collapsed lungs and a punctured bladder, kidney and liver. Philpott was convicted of attempted murder of Hill, and grievous bodily harm with intent against her mother, and was sentenced to seven years in prison in December 1978.Philpott was released after three years and two months. What the everlasting f**k?

He also tried to get his ex girlfriend arrested for starting the fire, cuz she left him and took her kids. Why? First cuz Mick is a narcissistic psychopath and couldn't accept the fact that she left him and second cuz he lost benefit money cuz she took the kids. Luckily, she had an alibi so the police didn't charge her, also there was tons of evidence pointing to Mick.

Dave Kroupa had been dating casually after his 12-year relationship ended and ended up meeting a woman named Cari Farver. They hit it off instantly and spent a lot of time together over the next few weeks. This was until Cari texted Dave at work and asked if they could move in together - this was a shock to Dave and he said no. Cari then sent a super nasty response and basically told him to f**k off.
Dave then started getting bombarded with texts and emails from Cari. The harassment, already relentless and almost daily, started to expand to include other people in Dave’s life, like his recent ex (sort of) girlfriend Liz Golyar. Liz became a constant target of Cari’s stalking and harassment.
Things escalated - at one point Liz’s house burned down. (I suggest looking up this case for the full details because there’s so much more to this story).
As it turned out, Liz had k**led Cari - ostensibly out of jealousy of Cari’s quickly growing relationship with Dave. Liz then began impersonating Cari and sending messages pretending to be Cari. That’s right, Liz was the one behind all those messages.
The whole story is absolutely WILD. I suggest checking out the book “A Tangled Web” by Leslie Rule for the full story. It’s absolutely nuts. .

She hid her inside a bed at a friends house and planned to collect the reward money. People actually felt sorry for her, thinking her daughter was missing and it was a huge police investigation. Ended up in jail for kidnapping, perverting the course of justice and false imprisonment.

I used to install security cameras as a side job. I was asked to help out a lady going through a horrible divorce. Her soon to be ex-husband was sending her threatening text messages from burner phones, he was coming by all hours of the night and breaking windows, and a few times attempted to set their house on fire. A friend of hers reached out to me and explained the situation and asked if I could help her in any way.
I purchased cameras and an NVR and went over one night in February and installed the whole system, wires and all. I never felt scared during any of my installations, some of which were in really bad neighborhoods, but this psycho had me worried, so I did this job armed. After finishing up, I showed her how the system works and told her to call me if she ever needed anything else.
A couple weeks later I get a call from a fire investigator asking me for help in recovering video. He told me that the guy had returned, broke out a first floor window, and threw in a Molotov Cocktail causing the first floor of the house to be engulfed in flames. The woman and her two daughters were trapped upstairs. The police showed before the fire department, and they had to grab an extension ladder from a neighbors house and rescue the family through a second floor window. One of the girls was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
I walked the guy through the process of pulling up the video. Once he got to the right time on the camera facing the bathroom window he said, “The video just goes blank.” I told him that I set the video cameras to be super sensitive to movement, so the only way it can go blank is if the camera is removed or damaged in some way. I directed him to a camera that would cover the area under the camera that goes blank and he should see someone mess with it. He tells me that nobody ever approached it. I then informed him that the only way that this scenario is possible is if the guy got into the house and disconnected the feed from inside.
We concluded our conversation since he would now need to pour through a lot of video in order to find this man going into the house. About a month passes by and I am driving to work. I hear the woman’s name who I had been helping mentioned on the radio during a news segment. I start paying attention and soon find myself feeling weightless in my chair. It had not been her husband at all; she had been the one doing all these things in order to get her husband arrested and sent to jail.
She had bought burner phones to send herself text messages. She had been going out at night and breaking the windows. She had been taking the family out to dinner, excusing herself to go to the restroom, then driving home to break a window and try to set the house on fire before returning to the restaurant. She had been the one to disconnect the camera from inside the house the night that she almost k**led her kids in an attempt to frame her husband. I thought I was protecting her from a psycho, but turns out I was helping the psycho.
TLDR: I thought I was helping a “victim” by protecting her from her soon to be ex husband, but she was trying to frame him by risking her kids lives.

Funny but true story my baby was a ridiculously adorable baby, people would ask if they could take photos and cooed over them non stop. But at an indoor market this one lady started following us around and then approached me and asked if she could sit and take numerous photos up close because they made those lifelike baby dolls and wanted to make one that looked like my baby. I said no, and quickly left because she looked incredibly upset when I said no. It would be so creepy to think there were dolls out there that looked like my kiddo.

In 1961, Captain Julian Harvey was found drifting at sea in a lifeboat with the lifeless body of a little girl by the name of René Duperrault. When he was rescued, he explained that he had been hired by the girl's family to sail them around the Florida Keys for vacation in a Ketche called the Bluebelle. He went on to explain that, the previous evening, a strong wind caused the main mast to snap and pierce the hull, causing the ship to sink. Worst still, a fire broke out, separating him from the family and the only other crew member, his own wife. He got into the lifeboat hoping to swing behind and hopefully get through the cabin from behind, but the ship had sunk rapidly and the other person he was able to recover was the already dead René. Truly a tragic story.
That was, until, three and a half days later Terry Jo Duperrault, the other daughter of the Duperrault family, was found drifting at sea in a small cork dinghy. She was dehydrated, starving, sunburned like hell, but alive. When she was healthy enough to make a statement, the story she told was very different from Harvey's. She woke up to find her brother and her mother already dead and when Captain Harvey saw her, shouted at her to go back to her cabin. She did so, cowering under the covers, and says that Harvey was standing at the door of her cabin. She thinks that maybe he was holding his brother's rifle, but she's not completely sure. He eventually left and, when the water started to fill her room, she went up on deck. Harvey got her help to undo the life raft, however, when the rope slipped through her fingers, he dove into the water after it, leaving her on the sinking vessel. She then remembered the cork dinghy and crawled into it. As you can see, her account is very different from Harvey's and, most notable, there never was a fire.
Sadly, we'll likely never know the full story as Harvey would take his own life hours after Terry Jo was found.

Emmett's crime was "being black in the South during the Jim Crow era". Black people were still segregated from white people in the South at that time. They were not allowed to use the same facilities as white people. Black people were not allowed in the same buses or train cars as white people. They were not allowed in the schools, libraries, waiting rooms, beaches, etc. that were for white people. White people and black people couldn't eat in the same diners/restaurants unless they were partitioned off from each other. It was unlawful in Florida for white teachers to teach black students. It was illegal to bury a black person in a white-people-only cemetery in Georgia. And, of course, it was illegal to engage in miscegenation - interracial marriages were against the law. And the racism and discrimination continues today, even though we've "ostensibly" repealed the Jim Crow Laws. And it's not just black people - ALL people of color (including Asians) are STILL discriminated against.

This is probably a really unpopular opinion, but I don't think she's the -only- one to blame for Mr. Till's death. She lied, yes, and it was a disgusting, horrible lie that she probably knew was going to have the impact it did (though maybe not). She was a horrible person. But I don't like how she's always the only one called out for it, as if the gang of men who actually committed murder had no other choice.... Had those men been decent, or even non-violent, Mr. Till would probably still be alive today. No matter what they heard, they didn't -have- to hurt him. They're even more responsible than she was, but do we even know their names? Were they ever tried or punished? Why are we not talking about them?

Karla Leanne Homolka, the “Barbie” in “The Barbie and Ken K***ers.” She was thought of as the victim of Paul Bernado’s abuse, being forced into participating in his r***s and m***ers. This included the one where Paul r***d and accidentally m***ered her younger sister, Tammy Homolka.
She went to the police to report Paul after a particularly bad beating from him that left her in hospital. She was given a plea deal and her lawyer covered up the tape recordings that showed her willingly participating in the r***s and m***ers. Once this information was let out, it was too late. The plea deal was made, Paul was arrested and is still in prison and she got out and now is working around children in a school.
I f*****g hate that nasty b***h. She was abused by him, yeah, but it disgusts me that she willingly participated in the m***ers and r***s. Oh, and she married the brother of the lawyer who represented her. She’s able to live a normal life whereas the three teenagers she helped k**l never got to start theirs.

She was the spark that turned Bernardo from rapist to murderer. Before her, he didn't kill his victims. There is a connection between Bernardo and another notorious Canadian criminal - Russell Williams. They could possibly know each other. During the period of the Scarborough Rapist, both lived in the area and police believed there may have been more than one rapist. Colonel Williams went on to be the base commander at CFB Trenton - the largest military base in Canada (I think)... and a rapist/murderer.

This woman and the crimes were from a place nearby to me and though I was still a child at the time, I remember the years when she was released and then granted permission both to change her name and get her passport back. People tracked her down and found out she’d left the country but then moved to another province in Canada and even had a kid. She’s been granted fairly decent government protection since her release and even with the release of the tapes, the country is split on her release and how we feel about her overall.

Disturbing facts about this case: Karla was never charged with a sex offence. Her plea deal was made after the video tapes were found but before they were viewed. She played the battered woman and got only 12 years for manslaughter despite videos showing her clear participation in the sexual assaults. She drugged and sexually assaulted her own sister - who then choked on her own vomit and died. The plea deal didn't include any charges for her sister's death. She stayed in jail for her full sentence because getting out early (parole) meant she could be monitored by law enforcement. She got married and had kids after her release. She volunteered at their school!! Paul Bernardo and Russell Williams might have known each other. They could have both been the Scarborough Rapidt.

I was roughly the same age as the victims had been when this case went to trial here in Toronto, and I cannot even begin to describe how horrific it was to me as a 16 year old girl. This was the first of three serial killer cases that I doubt I ever cease to have a visceral reaction to - the others being Robert Pickton (as I wrote in another thread recently, I know the daughter of one of his victims) and Bruce McArthur (who found most of his victims in my neighbourhood/community; I walked by some of their faces on "missing" posters daily for years before he was caught.)

I just listened to a podcast about a girl Mackenzie Shirilla. Basically she, her boyfriend and another friend were involved in a crash that k**led the boyfriend and the friend.
She was a driver and she survived. At first it seemed like maybe there was some fault in the car or that she simply lost control of the vehicle, but as the investigation went on they realized she planned the crash and ran into that wall on purpose. It was a crazy listen!
EDIT: Since a lot of you are asking - I listened to it on the Sword and Scale podcast, Episode 274!

Karissa's teacher at that time transferred to my town's school at some point - my son had him as a teacher during the pandemic - he retired the year after my son had him.

In 1864 a train pulled into London carrying a bloodied unconscious man, Franz Müller. Police were alerted and when the man came to Müller told them as they were riding 2 men approached him and tried to rob him. However Mr Muller fought back, was shot, and then left behind as the robbers jumped off the train.
What actually happened was Franz Müller attacked a Mr Thomas Briggs, a 69 yo banker, and robbed him of his gold chain and pocket watch. Later in the day Mr Briggs would be found unconscious lying on the tracks because Müller shot him and threw Briggs off the train. Briggs would soon pass away from his injuries.
Police were super suspicious and then a p**n shop owner came forward identifying Müller as selling him Briggs' gold chain. London Police issued a warrant however Muller had already fled the hospital and boarded a sail ship for New York. Scotland Yard Inspectors took a steamship to NY beating Muller by weeks. They and an entire crowd of people were waiting at the docks when Muller arrived.
And that's the story of the first m***er on a train. There's a cool book about it, Mr Briggs' Hat.

Then it was reported that Harris should’ve had his license reinstated 2 years prior. Harris’ attorney sets up interviews with local TV stations stating his innocence. Good Morning America does a piece on Harris and lectures the viewer to not judge a book by its cover. Harris goes back to court, the judge does his homework, and discovers Harris has never had a license in Michigan or any other state, yet has been to Secretary of State office multiple times to renew his ID. The opportunity was there for him to get a license, he chose not to. He goes viral again but because he lied and embarrassed so many people along the way.

The Roxanne Pallett “punchgate” incident on Celebrity Big Brother. She accused another housemate (Ryan Thomas) of punching her and spent the next couple of days convincing the other participants that this occurred and generally turning the house against him.
Don’t get me wrong, it was immediately evident to the audience watching at home that she was a lying POS. But with the housemates, they initially believed her and confronted Ryan and made his time at the house generally unpleasant. All the while, Ryan was in an isolated environment not knowing what his family/the general public were thinking back home… it was actually awful that the producers let it play off for so long.
Anywho, next eviction vote comes and iirc the housemates could hear the general public outside chanting Ryan’s name and jeering Roxanne. You could see the penny drop for all of the other housemates. Roxanne soon left of her own accord in disgrace and tried to play the victim card… until it turned out that she had pulled this c**p on multiple occasions in private settings with colleagues, etc. Her career is now absolutely well and truly in the toilet. Oh, and Ryan ending up winning the competition.
Honestly, watch a video on it. Not usually a fan of c**p reality tv but it honestly was like some sort of cruel social experiment that needed to be shut down but wasn’t.

All TV chains worry about is money. Here in Spain, one housemate raped his drunk "girlfriend" in full sight of the camera, but the wonderful Big Brother team didn't stop the aggression.

I don't know all the details because I've never watched this show, which I find revolting and degrading.

Balloon Boy Hoax: Panicky parents called police, claimed their young son was missing and had likely been carried aloft by a home-built helium balloon, which peaked at 7000 ft. Witnesses claimed something had fallen from it while it was ascending. When balloon eventually came down, boy wasn't in it.
Child was later found hiding in the attic. Whole thing was revealed as a publicity stunt when child was asked by Wolf Blitzer why he was hiding, and said to his dad "You guys said we did it for the show!"
Dad (failed actor and comedian) pleaded guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, was sentenced to 90 days and a $36K fine. Mom got 20 days to be served on weekends. Both were later pardoned by Colorado's idiot governor, Jared Polis.

In the early hours of August 13, 2018, in Frederick, Colorado, American oil field operator Christopher Lee Watts (born May 16, 1985) murdered his pregnant wife Shanann (34) by strangulation, and their two children Bella (4) and Celeste (3) by suffocation. He buried Shanann in a shallow grave near an oil-storage facility, and dumped his children's bodies into crude oil tanks. Watts initially maintained his innocence in his family's disappearance, but was arrested on August 15, after confessing in an interview with detectives to murdering Shanann. He later admitted to murdering his children.
Tiger 1 year ago
On August 15, 2018, the FBI joined the search for Shanann and her daughters. Chris Watts was administered a polygraph test, which he failed. He subsequently confessed to his father Ronnie, and then to authorities, that he had killed Shanann, but falsely claimed that he did so because Shanann had smothered their daughters. Chris relayed that he had discovered Bella's corpse, and that when he found Shanann in the process of strangling Celeste, he strangled Shanann in a fit of rage, before disposing of their bodies at Anadarko, the oil field where he worked. Chris was arrested that day. He got 5 life sentences plus 48 years, no parole.

It's local (Greece), but it has not precedence so far. A woman by the name Roula Pispirigou is accused of k**ling all of her three children, out of spite and jealously for her husband.
They had an on and off relationship. She became pregnant, they got married. She gave birth to three girls. The second daughter was in the early stages of Leukemia , but the doctors considered it completely viable. She died unexpectadly and without any cause related to her condition. At some point, in the same timeline, the first daughter was also admitted at the hospital.
Three years later, the third daughter, dies in her crib. SIDS is considered the cause of death. Special tests for hereditary deseceases come back, negative. The only remaining child,the first daugther ends up in the hospital once again. While being treated she goes into some type of a shock. They revive her after trying for 50 minutes. She comes back, tetraplegic.
You can all imagine, how everyone was viewing her. The poor woman, with the unfaithful husband that lost two children and her last one, was left with special needs. That is until, her daughter dies, while being at the hospital. Now all three children are gone.
The prosecutor gets involved and everything starts to roll out. How conviniently, a child was either admitted to the hospital or died, because the husband had left the house or moved out.
Currently she is incarcerate with a lifetime sentence, convicted of k**ling her three children.

Chris Benoit's Autopsy showed that he had the brain of a 80+ year old Dementia patient. In 2005, 2 years before his murder/suicide his best friend and everyone refers to as his Anchor, Eddie Guerrero suddenly died at 38 years old. There was a bunch of things that took place over that weekend and prior to it, involving Nancy and her previous attempts to end her marriage to Chris. If you want to know more about the case you can search Wikipedia or there are so many documentaries on YouTube that you can watch. I watched Chris wrestle in the Attitude and Aggression Era with WWE and some of his previous fights with early promotions. Even given how f****d up things were with Nancy, no one saw this coming.
Smitin 1 year ago
Not that this makes him innocent but the damage to his brain was significant. If an 80 year old dementia patient kills someone when they're out of touch with reality, it would technically be murder but they'd be found not criminally responsible. I truly believe in this case, Chris Benoit was not criminally responsible. Responsible - yes. But not criminally responsible.
Panda Pandemic 1 year ago
I agree Smitin. CTE is the reason and cause of this tragic incident. Benoit was the person who committed the crime but he didn't know what he was doing and could not be held responsible had he not taken his own life. Knowing that CTE is prevalent in not only wrestling but football and some other sports, really makes me sad and concerned for the players who are no doubt going to end up with the disease. They know what is happening and choose to continue playing because they love the sport so much. I can only imagine the thoughts running through their heads if the disease progresses and they already know how horrific the outcome can be. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

Regarding the Original post: Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit were discovered on Sunday during a welfare check, because he had a match that night and no one could get in contact with him. The Head Office at WWE was notified by the Police Department and the ONLY information they were given was the discovery of their bodies. The Sunday night show was cancelled and on Monday Night Raw they aired a Memorial show instead of the current storyline that was supposed to take place. After MNR had aired the WWE and Vince McMahon were notified of what actually happened. They did Air a segment, explaining to the fans what happened and after that the Memorial episode was scrubbed from their site. I'm not a fan of VM, but if someone is going to post s**t at least get it halfway right.

While I will not condone what The Rabid Wolverine did, I will maintain that the true murderer was Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

Uncle Eddie's (Guerrero) passing didn't help his condition much either. All-in-all, Benoit is guilty, but NOT totally.

Ana Julia Quezada.
She was dating a divorced man who had an 8 year old son. One day, the kid goes missing and the news started interviewing the parents. She would always stand next to the dad crying and begging the kidnapper that, if they're watching, to please give back the kid (I remember this very vividly watching the news).
Turns out, there was no kidnapping. She'd k**led the kid the very first day of his disappearance and played her part around her boyfriend and the news.
People believe she did it out of jealousy and in hopes of convincing her boyfriend to move to her country to get over his kid. Her 4 year old daughter had also died in 1996 in some strange circumstances.

Hellena Taylor when she was replaced on *Bayonetta 3*.
She was the original voice actress for Bayonetta in the first two games. About two years ago she came out with an angry statement that she had been offered what sounded like a rather low amount of money for the third game, then replaced by Jennifer Hale. The entire vibe was that it was an intentional low-ball to get rid of her. She insisted that fans should boycott the game.
You saw the response immediately on Reddit. People wanted to jump to her defense and criticized Platinum Games.
Slowly the rest of the story began to come out. She was apparently demanding a ridiculous fee, plus royalties. She had lied or at the very least deliberately misrepresented the deal previously. She increasingly came off as a little unhinged and vindictive, with an inflated sense that *she* was responsible for the success of the games and irreplaceable. For several days it seemed like a new detail was coming out every day that kept making her look worse and worse.
It was particularly interesting to see this happen in such a short period of time. To watch the public opinion shift as more information was revealed with each subsequent day. It really showed the importance of getting all the facts, hearing from multiple sides, and not immediately falling for rage-bait Internet drama in fan culture.

A caveat; all media claim to be telling the truth, and it's not that easy to differentiate , especially when the government is preventing one side from being heard. It's not fair to say people are 'wilfully ignorant' when they are subjected to daily government propaganda, and other views are suppressed. Many countries are 'silos' where the only information that's legally available is what the rulers want people to hear. Be kind to their citizens.

Officially codenamed 'Operation Himmler, the Gleiwitz incident was a false flag attack on the radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz (then Germany and now Gliwice, Poland) staged by Nazi Germany on the night of 31 August 1939. Along with some two dozen similar incidents, the attack was manufactured by Germany as a casus belli to justify the invasion of Poland. Prior to the invasion, Adolf Hitler gave a radio address condemning the acts and announcing German plans to attack Poland, which began the next morning. Despite the German government using the attack as a justification to go to war with Poland, the Gleiwitz assailants were not Polish but were German SS officers wearing Polish uniforms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleiwitz_incident

So, doesn't necessarily fit with all the true crime responses involving "victims" who turned out to be perpetrators all along, but Shinzo Abe, Japan's former Prime Minister, who was assassinated in 2022. The assassin, Tetsuya Yamagami, targeted Shinzo for his support of the Unification Church. The assassin's mother was brainwashed by the church, donating most of the family's possessions to it, resulting in her children going without food and lingering family strife that included the assassin's brother committing s***ide, and the assassin himself attempting it. The assassin initially targeted the leader of the Church, but being unable to reach them, instead targeted Shinzo because of his and his family's close relationship with the Church, which includes the assassin's belief that this support from Shinzo and his grandfather, who was also Prime Minister, helped the Church get established and thrive in Japan.
The effect of the assassination was to highlight the nature of the Unification Church and its influence in Japanese politics. Shinzo Abe's ties to it were scrutinized, as were those of members of his cabinets, and politicians still in office. It hastened the reshuffle of the then-ruling cabinet and one or two political resignations over ties to the church. It also opened up the media to criticism for its lack of reporting on the tactics of the church and its victims. Furthermore, it generated legal efforts to strip the Church of its religious incorporation, strengthen laws against cults and their activities, and adopt policies to aid victims, particularly the children of cult members. Finally, publicity around the Church's activities and the assassin's plight have so tarnished Shinzo Abe's reputation and raised public sympathy for the assassin that prosecutors still haven't actually prosecuted the assassin for the crime.

I worked at a newspaper in college. We covered this story of a student who claimed she had been gang r**ed by multiple men, at a fraternity if I recall correctly. It was a horrifying story that sparked police investigations and temporarily stopped social activities on campus.
A few weeks later someone caught her preparing to fake her own kidnapping / hostage situation - she was found taping her own wrists and ankles together with duct tape, and had written a sign that said something like "help me." When the police interviewed her, she recanted all allegations, admitted that she had made it all up. I still don't even know what to make of that story.

Ian and Angela Diaz. The story appeared on 60 minutes.
In short, Ian (who was a Deputy U.S. Marshall) claimed that his ex Michelle Hadley was posting r**e fantasy adverts on Craigslist in an attempt to get Angela r**ed. Eventually, Michelle ended up arrested and sat in jail for 88 days as police investigated the matter. It was during that investigation that they realized things didn't add up.
It was all a ploy to frame Michelle as part of a twisted plot to get her to walk away from a condo she had purchased with Ian. At first it was assumed or implied Angela alone was responsible and she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison. However, five years later Ian was found guilty for his participation in the plot and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Coco Berthmann and Amanda Riley. Both became D-list celebrities as "victimhood influencers." Both faked cancer diagnoses, then targeted religious institutions, non-profit organizations and/or gullible people to "raise funds for their treatment," made a ton of money, and eventually got caught.

I dont remember the details of the case and can't find it on a search, but heres the details i do remember.
There was a guy who had an argument with an Uber/taxi driver when his wife complained about him. They were basically harassing each other back and forth.
Then, the Uber driver ended up dead in that man's apartment. He claimed self-defense, saying the guy broke in and was trying to attack him and his wife. Guy was being praised as a home defender and for protecting his family.
Turns out he sent a note to the driver to come to his house so they can work things out. When the driver got there, the guy invited him in and shot him.
The whole thing was staged, and everyone believed it and praised him for k**ling another person, basically stroking his ego. Then it came out as premeditated and everyone was shocked.

No. If it's the one I'm thinking of, he confessed after the police literally asked him how he was accessing all these phone applications while he was supposedly tied up. There was plenty of other evidence they put in front of him, but the use of phone apps was the one that sticks. IIRC, he ended his wife in front of their 11 month old daughter and left daughter in the same room until the police arrived and discovered the body. There's also a possible grooming issue given he was much older than her and they met when she was 15 and married 3 days after her 18th birthday. For context, he was around 32 when she passed. She was 19, one month from turning 20.

“The Nayirah testimony was false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl who was publicly identified only as Nayirah at the time. In her testimony, which took place two months after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, she claimed to have witnessed Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators at a Kuwaiti hospital before looting the incubators and leaving the babies to die on the floor. Nayirah's statements were widely publicized and cited numerous times in the United States Senate and by American president George H. W. Bush to contribute to the rationale for pursuing military action against Iraq.“

Brittany Norwood - A former soccer star that worked at a Lululemon athletic clothing store in an upscale wealthy neighborhood. She had worked the nightshift with her manager and both were the victim of a brutal robbery/m***er. A co-worker arrived at the Lululemon store the next morning, discovered the scene and contacted the police. The manager, Jayna Murray, was brutally m***ered and stabbed over 60+ times. Norwood suffered minimal injuries, her pants ripped and she was tied up. Norwood claimed an African-American man first k***ed Murray, then approached Norwood, ripped her pants apart and r**ed her. The police initially believed Norwood's story and sent her home.
During the investigation, the police came across text messages of manager Jayna Murrary discovering Norwood had been stealing merchandise and she was going to confront her about the theft, then fire her. The police soon made Norwood a suspect, especially after discovering Murrary's car, with Norwood's blood inside, was parked 3 blocks away from the store. Norwood claimed the robber told her to move the car, then walk back to the store, or they will k**l her. The police believed this was absurd she would be allowed to leave , then return after being allowed to leave. She was arrested, charged with m***er, convicted and sentenced to life without parole. It was later revealed at her trial the entire m***er was overheard by several people who did not intervene. An Apple store employee overheard women fighting and assumed it was, "just drama.

She claimed that none of her fellow passengers moved a muscle as the youths slashed her clothes, cut off locks of her hair, knocked over her 13-month-old baby's pushchair and scrawled swastikas on her stomach with a marker pen. The story made international headlines, with the leaders of both France and Israel commenting on and condemning the attack... Which never happened.

My ex girlfriend who has BPD. She attacked me in my own house. My neighbor called the cops and when they arrived she wanted to act like I was the one who attacked her. I was taken to jail, my guns were seized, etc. While I was in jail for like 12 hours, I received a protective order where she filled out MY address as HER address. So, for like 4 days, I couldn't even go to my own home. We got that straightened out at the next hearing for an extended order though. When court finally came around about a year later, I had video footage (security cameras ftw) of her attacking me. The case was immediately dropped, I got my guns back, and got the charge (Second Degree Assault) expunged from my record. Last I heard, she moved to Florida which is awesome because it's far away from me.
She lied to me countless times. She cheated on me at least once. She stole from me at least once. She attempted s***ide after I had fallen asleep, with her idea being that I would wake up the next day with her dead body lying next to me in bed. But the worst thing was her having me thrown in jail after brutally attacking me. If I would not have had that camera installed, I would have lost my guns permanently, I would have lost my security clearance. I would have lost my job, etc.
She came very close to ruining my entire life in about 4 months time. She was pure evil.

Corey Harris.
Corey got arrested for driving with a suspended license. Corey insisted it was a mistake and that his license was not expired. Due to Covid, non-serious court situations like this were handled over zoom. So Corey called into his court hearing... while driving. His court hearing about a suspended license. So Corey was arrested and charged... again.. for committing the same crime... again.
Now Corey's thought process was that it was a mistake and his license wasn't actually suspended so this was okay. Which... makes sense, but it's still not a great look, and more importantly, still illegal.
So everyone had a good laugh at Corey for being so dumb. But then it came out that Corey was correct. His license **was not** suspended. So his initial arrest, and all the ridicule he faced. Turns out he was right the whole time. Everyone owed him an apology.
Except.
It came out that Corey's license was not suspended. Because he never had a driver's license in the first place. The 46 year old man had been driving for 30 years, completely without any sort of drivers license.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
There were a variety of perspectives that painted both of them as the victim. If you paid attention to the case and didn’t have a stake in who was “right”, then what came out was that they’re both terrible, toxic people that treated both each other and people around them like c**p. Johnny Depp won the court case, but through the course of it, it became abundantly clear that he was incredibly abusive in his personal life and many people on his “side” painted it as reactive abuse but it’s incredibly difficult to look at the facts and try to say either of them wasn’t heavily contributing to their horrible relationship.

So, I watched the entire court case, went into it ready to believe her, and preparing myself for the disappointment I was about to face regarding him. That's not what happened. Yeah, I was still disappointed because he still came across as an a*s. But he definitely did not come across as abusive. As you said, they could not confirm a single allegation against him. But she came out looking like a complete wackadoo monster who was 100% abusive. And we all learned that she's a terrible actress.
