As many as 20 boys in Wineville, Calif., die at the hands of sadistic sex maniac Gordon Stewart Northcott in the late 1920s

There was once a California town that was named Wineville, in honor of its primary crop, the grape. But in 1928, something so awful happened there that it wiped the name off the map. It was a series of child killings that will forever be known as the “Wineville chicken coop murders.” As many as 20 boys may have died there at the hands of sadistic sex maniac Gordon Stewart Northcott, 21. Newspapers dubbed him the “ape man” because of the thick black hair all over his body. Crimes on Northcott’s little farm of horrors went on for about two years, and might have continued longer, had he not brought in his nephew, Sanford Clark, to care for the chickens. Clark became an unwilling accomplice in his uncle’s murders and a victim of the man’s perversions.

Woman, 19, 'stabbed stranger NINE times with steak knife at boozy Christmas party after he repeatedly called her boyfriend Juan Valdez'

What started out as an alcohol-soaked Christmas party ended with blood on the tree when police say a 19-year-old woman stabbed a stranger nine times for mocking her boyfriend. Desiree Kleinow, of South Daytona, was charged with attempted murder for allegedly attacking 30-year-old Joshua Stonaker after the man had repeatedly made fun of her Hispanic boyfriend, calling him ‘Juan Valdez’ in reference to the fictional Columbian farmer from the popular coffee ads. As the party progressed, Kleinow's boyfriend, Jason Ojeda, and Stonaker had made peace and shook hands, but the 19-year-old, who was reportedly drunk at the time, was not satisfied. Early Tuesday morning, police say Kleinow attacked Stonaker as he was having a conversation with her boyfriend, plunging a serrated knife with a five-inch into his chest, neck and back, Orlando Sentinel reported. The stabbing only stopped when Kleinow's mother, who was also at the party but was taking a nap, woke up and yelled at her.

Pennsylvania man, 19, suffocated his girlfriend, 17, by sitting on her after intentionally crashing his car at 100 miles per hour

MANHEIM, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man suffocated his 17-year-old girlfriend by sitting on her head after he intentionally drove into a guardrail at about 100 miles per hour in the middle of the night, authorities said. Police filed homicide and other charges Friday against Benjamin Daniel Klinger, 19, for the Dec. 4 death of Sammi Heller on an interstate near Manheim. Klinger is accused of crashing on purpose, then killing Heller by sitting on her until she asphyxiated. "At first glance, this appeared to be simply another tragic vehicle accident," Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman told the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era. "However, the police worked hand-in-hand with our forensic experts and saw this was far more complicated, sinister and certainly criminal."

Long Island ex-con charged with killing friend and hiding corpse in closet for a week

A Long Island lunatic murdered his next-door neighbor, tried to chop off the victim's head with an ax and then stashed the bludgeoned body in a closet for a week, authorities said. Aston Barth, 33, told cops that he choked his buddy Jason Campbell, 35, in the bedroom of Barth's Central Islip home Dec. 18 after the two had an argument, said Suffolk County assistant district attorney Glenn Kurtzrock. The crazed criminal then grabbed an ax and tried to cut off Campbell's head, officials said, citing Barth’s confession to police. "He struck the victim in the neck in attempt to dismember his body," Kurtzrock said. "Then he either realized he wouldn't be able to do it or he changed his mind.”

Man froze cats to 'keep spirits' with him

A self-proclaimed cat lover who stuffed 38 dead cats in his freezer has admitted to animal cruelty. Donald Cruickshank, 77, faced two charges after the SPCA found him living in squalor with more than 50 cats in his suburban home. This week, Cruickshank pleaded guilty in the North Shore District Court to failing to care for the animals and not ensuring 22 of them received medical attention.

(...)

SPCA inspectors said they were almost suffocated by a strong smell of ammonia, food and faeces from 19 cats which were running freely around the lounge and bedroom. Another 17 were locked in cages with litter trays overflowing, and another 23 were discovered in a fly-infested locked unit downstairs. During the inspection, 38 dead cats were discovered wrapped in blood-stained newspaper and fabric bags beside food inside two fridges and freezers. Cruickshank told the inspectors he kept the dead cats so their spirits would be with him forever. The surviving cats were seized by the SPCA and have been in foster care for two years.

Yes, we hacked off his frozen flesh with an axe and ate it - but we DIDN'T kill our friend: Tale of cannibalism after four men disappeared on trip to Siberian wilderness

Baldly, the facts are these: Two of the men returned alive, one is still missing, while the fourth man – 44-year-old Andrei Kurochina – was found dead in strange circumstances. At first it was assumed he had simply perished in the extreme cold. But then the shocking truth began to emerge. Police discovered he had been cannibalised and that his flesh quite possibly was eaten by his best friend, Alexei Gorulenko, and fellow adventurer Alexander Abdullayev, to keep themselves alive. Abdullayev, 37, insists they ate Kurochina only after he died from natural causes. But the police suspect otherwise and have launched a murder investigation.

Teacher at private school found hanged in his home after losing his job for 'heavy drinking'

A teacher hanged himself at a £30,000-a-year private school after being sacked for alleged heavy drinking, an inquest heard. Paul McCaffery, 46, lost his job as assistant director of music at the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, Suffolk, in January this year. He was given notice to leave his house at the 680-pupil school by the end of the Easter holidays. Maintenance staff found Mr McCaffery, who had taught at the school for 20 years, hanging in his staff accommodation on March 29 after a friend got no reply the previous evening. The inquest in Ipswich heard Mr McCaffery was sacked for 'alcohol related' issues. His appeal against dismissal was turned down by headteacher Howard Blackett.

And here we go again....

The world may have escaped Armageddon yesterday but the actual Apocalypse is nigh on four years away, Doomsdayers have claimed. The new date for annihilation is January 1, 2017, according to followers of The Sword of God Brotherhood. They believe the 'Prophet Gabriel' told the Brotherhood that the 'dying time' will come on this date and only members of the cult will survive, while everyone else perishes in 'hellfire.'

Are We Dead Yet?

The crux presented in this whole spectacle or apocalypse worship -for lack of a better term- is that whenever any-one group or sect or what have you is claiming that it is the end of the world, it's mere wish fulfillment on behalf of who's chanting and blabbering such self absorbed bullshit. Every 'end' toward anything always has a preamble or run-up to that end, be it in nature or to any form of product sold on the consumer's market.  But it's not like: "well, here's the expire date, if you don't use it before said date, it could or might explode in your face or cause violent diseases..." or whatever. It gradually dissolves, as do most things. This world has been going down the slope for some time now (or so they say) and will continue to do so cause that is nature at work. All damage, murder, violence, suppression, stupidity, abuse etc. is a medal you can pin on humanity. The earth itself however will stay and all human beings, as everything in nature, will not. But if you're that someone with a wish for a pre-collective death, count me out. Please.

My point is that people who keep themselves busy with any type of end of the world scenario are wasting their most valuable thing in this world; time. The human species might come to an end someday, maybe, who cares, but this ball of dirt will still be here -perhaps producing maybe some type of other species, whatever nature feels like- but the world or this planet, will keep floating in space carelessly. With nature as it's relentless mother. Your time here is very very short. Waste not.

That said, doomsayers are just another type of group who just really hate living and love to lie, a lot, albeit unaware, I presume. The only thing they live for is to die, bluntly put. Isn't that kind of contradictory? Anyway, they don't want to die alone so they create in their mind -or their collective mind, if you will- a means, be it by religion, culture, heritage, tradition etc., a story, a tale i.e. a lie, of how, when and what time this world will come to an end. As if they know! As if they ever could know! I don't know or care what kind of scientific, god-like persona you think you might have, but right off the bat, you're dead wrong! And you're always going to be miserably wrong and might actually be something or someone of worth if you were a productive, caring, loving being and whatever else your books, culture or heritage tells you to be, instead of making claims that you have the answer and formulas to, well, anything! But in this case being pretentious assholes who think they have the know-how and the messages from beings and calenders and rocks and dirt and space ad infinitum, 'informing' the rest of the world, with your so called knowledge proclaiming: "This is it, this is how it's going down everyone!" That's really pushing the bar to such an extent it is well over and beyond your head (and imagination, where all these stories spring from in the first place). Especially those who commit suicide and kill others with them so as not to come to terms that 'it' in fact did not happen. Bunch of pricks. So sad... I guess. But seriously, keep your lies, your miscalculated/misread bullshit and other assorted crap to yourselves, it's just not worth it, is it? And, it saves a little face and maybe makes for a much more harmonious living. I think.

New Jersey mother, son dead in ‘murder-suicide’ apartment blaze, police say

A New Jersey mother in the middle of a custody dispute shut herself and her 3-year-old son inside a bedroom of their Scotch Plains home and lit the room on fire, killing them both, authorities say. Katherine Halverson, 32, and her son, Jeremy Scott McDonald Jr., were found inside the charred room late Tuesday, shortly after neighbors reported seeing smoke coming from the house. The family’s dog was also found dead, police say. The deaths at first appeared to be an accident, but authorities confirmed Thursday they were investigating the blaze as a murder-suicide.

2 bodies found in freezer at dried seafood store in Shizuoka

SHIZUOKA — Police said Thursday they are investigating the murder of a man and woman whose bodies were found at a dried fish store in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture.

39 killed in Kenyan tribal violence

It is believed as many as 39 people, including several children, have been killed in tribal violence in Kenya's coastal Tana Delta region. Police said Friday's raid on a village appeared to have been a revenge attack after clashes in August between farmers from the Pokomo tribe and semi-nomadic Orma tribesmen. The tribes have fought for years over access to grazing, farmland and water in the coastal region. Officials said six women and 13 children were among the dead and nine of the attackers were killed.

'Horror' rapist has life sentence reduced

A Queensland man convicted of inflicting "unimaginable horrors" on a 13-year-old girl has had his life sentence reduced on appeal. Andrew Scott Shenfield, 41, and Rebecca Louise Mahony, 33, were jailed for life by a Supreme Court judge in Brisbane last year for 30 offences including 13 counts of rape and torture. Their crimes against their 13-year-old victim were described as perverted degradation, that was not a nightmare for the victim but a living hell that left her with mental scarring she will carry for the rest of her life. Both appealed against their sentences. Mahony's appeal was dismissed after the Court of Appeal considered evidence she intended to kill her victim. Shenfield's life sentence, however, was reduced to 18 years because he had prevented Mahony from doing so.

Man, 35, was found dead STANDING UP in his kitchen after mystery head injury

A coroner has described the death of a man who was found standing up in his kitchen as 'bizarre'. A friend called out when he saw Andrew Evans, 35, through the window standing up with his hand reaching into a cupboard in the kitchen of his East Grinstead, West Sussex home. But it was only when he received no reply and let himself in that Mr Evans's friend realised that he was dead. Mr Evans had injured his head before his death on May 10, but it is not known how seriously. Horsham Coroner's court heard how Mr Evans was four times the drink drive limit when he died. It is thought that he died after blacking out as he reached into a cupboard in his kitchen His body is said to have fallen against the kitchen fittings and he remained standing up.

Man, 25, who killed his teacher father with a bow and arrow blamed him for his self-diagnosed Asperger’s and praised China in bizarre suicide note

A man who police say killed his father with a bow and arrow in a Wyoming college before stabbing himself to death left a rambling suicide note extolling eugenics and blaming his father for giving him Asperger’s syndrome. Christopher Krumm, 25, wrote that he was unable to keep a job, never had a love life and ‘always had to subsist as a sort of bottom feeder’ because of the genes passed down from his father, 56-year-old James Krumm, according to the note. The lengthy letter released by police to the Associated Press Wednesday confirmed a motive suggested by people close to Krumm in the immediate aftermath of the slayings.

CHRISTOPHER KRUMM'S SUICIDE LETTER:

You should not have allowed my father to breed because he was genetically predispositioned toward having Asperger's Syndrome and put me at greatly increased risk for having it [and in fact I do]. How could you hold his right to breed over my right not be born? I could have been reincarnated as that next life without Asperger's Syndrome. At 25 years old, I could really be somebody by now. Yet despite having a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering I have not been able to solve the novel problems I need to solve at work causing me to be fired from Western Area Power Administration as an engineer, resign to avoid being fired from the Dennis Group, be laid off with prejudice from PAR, and resign from Broadband because I am struggling more than I care to in order to subsist. I have never had a love life and have always had to subsist as a sort of bottom feeder. I am extremely bitter and frothing with hatred toward my father. I am resentful that my country did not castrate him .. America, you have a bioethics problem which stems forth from having a democracy. You consume tens of billions of animals every year in despicable enslavement and mass execution for food consumption and you allow your people with poor genes to breed and spread their miserable condition to their children. China is a country with governmental discipline because they have an authoritarian state. The Chinese have fiscal . discipline, social and cultural discipline, and genetic discipline which all stem from having governmental discipline, meanwhile the US does not have any discipline in these areas because it is a democracy. America does not balance budgets, it does not prepare for the future, and it does not address national crises- at least until it is the last minute.

The Chinese have genetic discipline. As Richard Lynn has pointed out, the one child policy in China results in fewer women making it to adulthood, causing those women who to be very choosy in determining a mate. The Eugenic effect is strong and thoroughly permeated, diffused, and distributed throughout their society, and it is an example of classical eugenics. The Chinese invest strongly and enthusiastically in biotechnology for multiple purposes, including the fact that doing so prop·els Eugenics in the modern era and vastly benefits them. Meanwhile, here in America, we rely on little more than the free market to develop biotechnology and do not subsidize it or invest nearly as enthusiastically as the Chinese. We do not have any form of classical eugenics except for the anemic effect that abortion and other voluntary means provide. People who are genetically predispositioned to having cognitive and physical disabilities as well as sociopathy [my father, James Krumm for example] are breeding when they have no business to be doing so- putting people like me vastly at risk for inheriting their genetic diseases. Thus America is betraying countless people who deserve not to born with such impairments, especially when life with such profound impairments is not worth living. I am not willing to live with Asperger's Syndrome any more. In fact I call on people who are born to cognitively or physically impaired people who are genetically predispositioned so to take action to punish their parents for having put them through so much hell. In America, we do not practice classical eugenics and we do not invest in biotechnology eugenics much at all despite it being horrible bioethics to not castrate the cognitively impaired and despite the obvious negative implications for national security and for national strength to refuse to practice and invest in eugenics.

The Chinese have fiscal discipline. With their low next-to-nonexistent welfare spending, moderately low military spending, and their efficient state capitalism they are far more fiscally disciplined than we are here in the United States with our near 17 trillion debt caused by a less efficient market capitalist system and large amounts of both welfare and military spending. The Chinese develop and back global champion corporations which outcompete ours, allow for a business environment where investments and business decisions have the advantage of being geared toward the long term, and fiscal monetary policy is set optimally to benefit China. Together with an overwhelmingly pro-business atmosphere and frugal spending the Chinese are very successful. Year after year we endure retarded national political dramas with republicans and libertarians refusing tax increases, and republicans refusing military spending reductions, and democrats refusing specifics on domestic welfare spending reductions. As a result libertarians, democrats, centrists, and republicans (everyone) supposedly favor balancing the budget but the democratic process does not result in a budget which ever, ever, ever gets balanced.

The Chinese are also socially and culturally disciplined. The Chinese have a pragmatic foreign policy and are very self preservationist yet opportunist with regard to foreign affairs and expanding their influence. They do not waste money like we do on fruitless wars but instead rely on trade and diplomacy. While we routinely waste money on Crusades and are overstretched, they are prepared to enter war to defend their interests should the need arise. They do something we in the West could never imagine doing- they tell Muslims how to worship. The Chinese forcibly inject peace into their religion and provide the equivalent of a national Chinese church of Islam where they spy on Muslims and all but force them to assimilate into the overall collective culture and society. All we ever do here in the West leads to Muslims living separately in their own microcosms within Western society where they refuse to integrate with society at large. We are overly individualist and society has become completely atomized -narcissism and sociopathy are at an all time high because such behavior is rewarded in our society.

American does nothing about its gang problem which get worse and worse as does drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal immigration, imprisoning people, etc. etc. Communitarian China would not tolerate such erosion. Such decay. Such deterioration at every level of society. America does nothing about its dependency on foreign oil, it does not invest in smart infrastructure, it under-invests in renewable energy doing little to nothing about global warming, and it extremely under-invests in biotechnology with its implications for eugenics and national security. The Chinese have more watts from renewable energy and yet by today in 2012 still have a smaller economy than we do. They are scheduled to surpass us economically in the coming years, despite the occupation of China by various western powers in the 19'" century, occupation and ravages from Japan in the 20'" century, civil war following World War II, and suffering at the hands of poor ideology for decades at the hands of Mao Zedung's communist agenda. The Chinese have emerged from these disasters in only roughly 40 years a self made people to our inheritance of the Stuart's Folly, Louisiana Purchase, and the legacy of World Wars I and II with our infrastructure intact while the rest of the industrialized world blew itself apart. If there is ever a country which has good bioethics now with regard to stopping people like my father breeding and which holds promise of stopping the cruel treatment of animals for food consumption by eventually banning the eating of meat and developing biotechnology driven alternatives to meat production, then it is China. America must learn from China if it is to compete and it should start by casting aside its democratic values and by acquiring governmental discipline in the form of an authortharian state modeled directly after The People's Republic of China.

Psychiatrist convicted of manslaughter after one of her patients killed man with an axe

A French psychiatrist has been convicted of manslaughter six years after one of her patients hacked an elderly man to death. Danielle Canarelli, 58, was handed a one-year suspended prison sentence for her 'grave error' in failing to recognise that her paranoid schizophrenic patient Joël Gaillard posed a public risk. The doctor, who has over 30 years of experience and currently works at Marseille's Edouard-Toulouse hospital, was also ordered to pay 8,500 euros to the victim's children, in the groundbreaking case that could affect the way patients are treated. Gaillard hacked to death 80-year-old Germain Trabuc with an axe in March 2004 in Gap, in the Alps region of southeastern France, 20 days after fleeing a consultation with Canarelli at Marseilles's Edouard Toulouse hospital.
