Dead Count

Ongoing cholera disaster in Haiti opened the way to the witchhunt.

2010-12-18T13:48:00.000-08:00

12 people were killed by the mob that accused them in sorcery and witchcraft that allegedly started epidemy of cholera in Haiti. 2000 dead and counting so far ( not an impressive rate by any means, out of 100K infected, what kind of cholera is this--more likely a mild diarrhea). Mind me reminding you that Haiti adddds to its population 550 people DAILY. So all this fuss for the last 3 months came to less than a 4 days worth of population growth. Anyway , Haitians killed everything alive there-- trees, rivers, soil, shores, so they do deserve a tad of Gaia's poking me thinks. Just a little bit you know. Until they will be able to feed themselves at least.

528-lb Romanian Mom dies of heart attack at 25

2010-12-14T22:39:00.000-08:00

Thats a young age to die from a heart attack even for a 528-pounder. Poor 5-month old girl is orphan now though who knows what kind of life would she had if her mom didnt die. Can you imagine, someone had tapped that! Seriously, thats probably the news, not the actual death of a 25 year old.

A man killed by a flying fridge, Milwaukee

2010-12-14T22:28:00.000-08:00

A cleaning crew killed one of their own when the fridge went air-borne from 4th floor in a residential complex for some college students. What a horrible end. A family man with a "warm heart and a zest for life" is no more.
On the other hand: folks at The Occupational Safety and Health Administration say it will take at least 6 months to investigate this. Investigate what? Gravity waves? Job creation at its finest--courtesy of US taxpayers and Chinese sweatshop workers.

An arab kills 7 Italian cyclists and will walk free soon.

2010-12-06T02:00:00.000-08:00

Forget about difficulties of organizing a terrorist plot, making a bomb in your bath-tub and all that. You wont end up hurting anybody but yourself anyway. All you really need is a suspended driving license , a puff of weed, and you are ready to drive your old ( no need to waste a brand-new vehicle for this) , but powerful car into a crowd of ( cyclists, this time). Mister Chafik Eltrani had blessed Italy with his long-term visit from Morocco just like the other 350-400 Africans and Asians that settle in Italy daily. His first reaction after getting out of the car was to ask around for a cell he could use. He probably didn't even notice at first all those bodies wrapped around his wheels and all that. Anyway, he is charged with an accidental manslaughter and he will be free in a few years , after draining Italian taxpayers of a lot of monies.

6 US troops killed after being served tea by their killer.

2010-12-04T13:39:00.000-08:00

an Afgan border police guard who they were supposed to be training, opened fire as soon as they were out of bullets in a practice shooting. Big mistake. Another good reason to never relax your buns when an armed muslim is around.

Two killed and 83 injured as airplane makes emergency landing at Moscow

2010-12-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

Man do they like to blame things like that on anything but plane itself and human error. The fact is, they do like to use old rusty planes. Out of 1015 Tu-154 that were built, 40 crashed already. I dont know how many were retired since its first use 42 years ago, but many are still in use and will fall down soon enough.

339 dead and hundreds wounded, crushed by a crowd in Cambodia

2010-11-22T18:38:00.000-08:00

Oh this one is a doozy. Biggest deadcount in Cambodia since Pol Pot. Hundreds of thousands of people came to Pnom Pen to celebrate some khmer holiday about the water. Needless to say, some of them wont be celebrating anymore. Why would you put yourself in the middle of the mega- crowd? Can you walk on heads as Crocodile Dandy? Well , sounds as a Darwin's call to me. Cambodia's population will recuperate itself in 12 hours and will continue growing , adding 675 Cambodians per Diem. Its interesting that only 14 Cambodians are emigrating daily.

2010-11-14T12:15:00.000-08:00

A few days ago a family of 12 including 4 children were stabbed to death in their own home. 4 killers were arrested today, one of them is 16 yo. Picture of the victims:

Killers, Evgeniy Gurov and Alexey Gurov :

As there are no death penalties in Russia, noone will be executed, and the youngest killer will be free in 10 years or less.

UPDATE: all killers were hired guns from a local gang, 2 members of this family were poker players and had debts up to $60-90k each which they were (update) ~~unable or~~ unwilling to service. They were wounded at first and watched all their family members being killed before they were finished.

16 young criminals killed in El Salvador fire

2010-11-10T23:11:00.000-08:00

16 criminals, all minors, died and 24 were seriously injured in a fire in the town of llobasco, 25 km from San Salvador. Inmates belonged to Mara 18 and Mara Salvatrucha, famous (rival) gangs not only in El Salvador but in US as well. I guess somebody decided to play with matches hoping their own wont get burned. He most likely died there or better yet will do so in a few weeks in a burn treating center.

Surprise attack. Imagine this: you are coming home from work , angry as hell for not making much money today, and you see a singing , naked Negro swinging his dick in the open shower, right in the middle of your way home. Now you know how those lions felt. Some people in Zimbabwe are trying to frame this as an example of ~~racism~~ sorry-- speceisism, and call for action in order to educate lions to tolerate other species.

Kenya Rangers Kill Three Elephant Poachers

2010-11-01T16:06:00.000-07:00

Three suspected elephant poachers have been killed, four firearms recovered and five elephants killed in two separate incidents in Kenya during the past week. The Kenya Wildlife Service says more suspects are on the run in both incidents.

In the latest incident last night, Kenya Wildlife rangers gunned down a suspected poacher in a fierce exchange of fire on the outskirts of Meru National Park in Isiolo County.

You want to hunt an elephant in a reserve, get some decency and hunt with a spear as your forefathers did since forever. Take some risk, will ya? Or die as a dog while we have a standing ovation. Shooting elephants with AK-47.. Rangers should have taken you alive and throw in the midst of an elephant herd.

"A major operation is underway this morning to arrest other suspects on the run. They are believed to have sustained injuries from last night's shoot-out," says KWS spokesman Paul Udoto.
Two AK 47 rifles and 30 rounds of ammunition were recovered in the incident at Moliti area, 10 kilometers from Kinna Trading Centre in Garbatulla District, Isiolo County.

58 dead, 75 injured in attack on Catholic church in Iraq

2010-11-01T16:01:00.000-07:00

This is a new one, usually Sunnis are busy with Shiites and vice-versa. Why would you want to be a Catholic in Iraq? There is nobody else there who welcomes your tithe or something? Just send your money to me if you have a problem spending it in Iraq. Or buy something from Amazon through my site. Anyways you trusted your god --he called you in early-- no complaints accepted.

Actor killed after being mistaken for real gunman

2010-11-01T15:37:00.000-07:00

A night watchmen in the Philippines claims he was just doing his job when he shot and killed an actor on a movie set Saturday night.
Police said Eddie Cuizon, 52, a watchman in Cebu, fatally shot Filipino actor Kirk Abella, 32, who was sporting a mask and a fake gun for a film shoot.
Abella was working on the set of "Going Somewhere," a film by British director Alan Lyddiard. He was riding away on a motorcycle for the closing scene when he was shot.
The Filipino newspaper Diario reports Cuizon, 52, told police he was responding to calls from concerned citizens about armed men on motorcycles. He said he spotted two men on motorcycles and took off after them. The newspaper says Cuizon told police he shot Abella after he brandished his gun, which turned out to be plastic.
Diario reports that armed men on motorcycles have been linked to several recent murders in the country.
Cuizon faces charges of homicide and violation of a gun ban.

He must have been a really good actor. What a shame. I wonder what would that watchman do if he saw Arniold Shwarznegger filming his " Commando".

Tow truck driver, 23, killed in W. Baltimore

2010-11-01T15:18:00.000-07:00

I dont normally cover deaths like that, but any tow truck driver is a patented asshole that deserves skipping on Social Security benefits through a violent end.

A 23-year-old tow truck driver from Linthicum was killed early Monday in West Baltimore as he finished up his shift, according to police and the man's father.
Andrew Joyce was found dead from a gunshot wound inside his truck in the 500 block of Mosher St. at about 2:30 a.m., police said. Mike Joyce, his father, said he was completing a shift that began at 5 p.m. It was the Ellicott City native's second month on the job.
Mike Joyce said his son was one week away from completing his probation stemming from a 2009 drug conviction.

See what I mean? There you go another vacancy for a (patented asshole) driver in Baltimore. Job creation at its finest. 184 killings in Baltimore so far this year. So far so good.

PS I had some feedback saying that I am being too harsh with the guy. Well, if he took that job out of need in order to be ok with his probation, and there was nothing else out there, then I apologize. It is possible that he didnt become a major asshole in less than 2 months that he worked there.
