Not even in UFC 1 where there truly were nearly no rules. I remember seeing some very impolite moves.

Sounds like this should have been in Florida, but it happened in South Carolina. They're classy down there.

And another grim story, this one from Mississippi.

Jesus, I noped out of those ones pretty quickly. Especially that second one, it by far the worst of the two

Pulaski

I suspect that drugs may have been involved in the second case.

SultanOfSwing

That's likely.

Almost the entire US page of the Daily Mail, wtf'ry all over.

Why some people breed is beyond belief.

In the MS case, he was not the biological father and I don't buy the sh@t about the mom being in the next room watching tv with the door closed and not hearing anything. Cases like these are not restricted to just down south but I read of many over the years occurring in the NE. One famous one was the attorney who adopted the girl child and then horribly abused her while she was a baby and toddler until the time that he killed her outright. I'm sure it happens throughout the world just as they are living in the US those are the cases most prominent for us to read about. My heart goes out to those poor abused children. I'm sure this was not the first time she suffered under this anger.

Maste

That was the bit I did not believe one tiny bit. He hit her as hard as possible, so hard he caused internal bleeding etc, and she heard nothing? Heck, even I, as someone with hearing aids, can here people walking up and downstairs when I have the TV on, let alone someone hitting a child as hard as possible.

It is more prominent when it happens closer to home - I believe you get a sense of 'it can't happen here, surely'.

Nutmegger

You are thinking of the Joel Steinberg case. What a piece of work he was. He also battered his wife so badly that her face was beyond recognition, though she still did time for the child's death.

Look at the size of that pig!

Imo he should have made the effort to get it quartered and into a cooler right away, oh well.

Rete

Would have been great BBQ. And think of the smoked bacon.

Pulaski

When most pigs are slaughtered at less than a year old, as big as that thing was, it would have been tough as an old boot, and with a much more robust flavor than you would expect from pork.

Audio file on the internet of teenagers joking and laughing as a disabled man drowned in a lake, they didn't call for help or anything, just watched and filmed, one can be heard saying 'Oh he just died' the man had been reported as missing, and a relative found the video on social media, and the man's body was recovered. The teens can't be prosecuted for anything.



In spoiler tags but it is only the audio from the filming.
