Islamic extremists lure very large group of children to truck by handing out crisps, proceed to detonate a bomb and blow the kids into tiny pieces on Easter weekend.

Well over a hundred killed, 68 of them children. Demented.

Well that's **** up.

The description of ISIS as a death cult seems accurate.

Forget coal, retail jobs are the looming crisis.
But you cant really replace that, with the advent of e-commerce.

It's a shame, but there's not much going for the retail industry.

Same people are going to be needed in amazon warehouses

Yeah but are they actually going to want to do that kind of labor?

They may not have a choice.

I understand the existence of NK's artillery but conventional artillery can be bombed, it's not like its mobile.

They have tens of thousands of pieces, but much of it is beyond reach from South Korean units. Yes, they can be bombed. But between the start of shelling to when a strike package can be spun up and on target could be 15 minutes to an hour or more. That's a lot of Seoul turning to rubble.

Also,

Almost all of their artillery is self-propelled. Even the pieces that are dug in.

Jackson, 47, said Stephens mentored foster kids — Beech Brook, a children's mental health center, confirmed his employment — and described him as a quiet guy with a good heart who'd never shown a sliver of aggression. He does not have a criminal record, Williams said — just motor vehicle violations.

Demon Possession, likeliest cause, imho.

Doesn't everyone always say "They were such a nice/quiet/good person" when someone does stuff like this?

Reminds me of the "He was just a good, quiet, boy that loved going to school, he was going to start studying pre-med next year", etc etc

According to Tosh, everyone on that show Intervention used to be a straight A student.

He claimed on social media and in a call to his friend he was up to at least 14 people. But all I've heard of is the 1 elderly man he broadcast on FB Live. So maybe that's a (good?) sign.

Yeah... I haven't read anything about more bodies being found. I think they also said the killing wasn't live. It was recorded and then uploaded. Not that it makes much difference.

Usually, but then stuff gets released that shows a pretty violent path, or weird online presence / mental health issues / etc, etc...

Appears to be nothing on this guy... just straight to this

Pretty darn bizarre

I made the mistake of stumbling on the video from before he shot the guy. That stuff seriously crushes your spirit

Yea... I watched the video. The most disturbing part to me was how nonchalant he was over it

No thanks on watching that...

Reminds me of this riddle my wife read to me the other day.

While at the funeral of her mother, a woman meets a man whom she did not know. She fell instantly in love with him.

However, she never asked for his name or number and afterward could not find anyone who knew who he was.

A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: Why did she kill her sister?
