The Man Who Flooded A Town For Sex
In 1993, a man named James Scott purposely damaged a levee and caused a massive flood of the Mississippi River only to stall his wife from coming home so that he could party.
His actions flooded 14,000 acres of farmland, destroyed buildings, and closed a bridge. He was convicted of "intentionally causing a catastrophe" and is still in prison serving a life sentence.
He may be innocent of that since it was some odd thing in the trial, as one of the main whitnesses having a major financial interest in having the cause being vandalism and not natural. However, as he has commited several arsons and burglaries he does belong in jail.

Glue Trap From Under My Mom's Basement Staircase
Yeah those are all wolf spiders who would have taken care of other nuisance bugs in your house instead of dying a painful death. Great job.
The only spiders I kill, and only reluctantly, are black widows.
Load More Replies...Why the f**k are you using glue traps? What the hell is wrong with people.
I came to say this. Glue traps is an awful way to die.
Load More Replies...Yep poor spiders, most are so important to us.
Load More Replies...Humans really will kill anything that moves, no matter how harmless.
It's why I wear a orange jump suite while hiking thru the woods during hunting season....Just hope there is not a prison break at the time and get shot by a Cop.
Load More Replies...Geez, it’s the basement, that’s the creepy crawlies’ home, let them be!
Just yesterday, I took a painting from the balcony that got a clear coat prior to masking, in order not to rip of the more sensitive kinds of paint used there, like metal colours, sparkle and so on ... and I found one little spider hat gotten trapped on it, but was alive, still. She'd grow to be about 3 cm long (body only), but had just reached like 3 mm. I removed her as gentle as I could, but still ended up amputating two of her left legs, so she now has six remaining, the two hind legs to te left being torn off. I'm sorry. I don't want to do that, I don't see why I should harm them. I like spiders, actually. I spent about 10 minutes removing her, and not amputating ALL her left legs wasn't easy ... and still, I don't know if she made it, or will make it, as she can walk of course, but walk just as good as before, she won't for a couple of growth cycles (depending on where the leg is torn off, it may be able to regrow), ... and those $&/%%s do that, deliberately and unprompted. AHs!
I leave the spiders in my house alone, as long as they're not in/on my bed or in my shower when I'm using it.
Down vote me but.. nothing should die on a glue trap..they're absolutely awful.
I'm with you as far as mammals and spiders go, but I make an exception for cockroaches.
Load More Replies...They look like common house spiders to me... Once in a while one will sprint across the carpet and startle me. If I find one in the bath, I will use a glass and piece of paper to trap it and release it outside in the back yard.
Y’all. Seriously. I need a safe space on my screen to touch to scroll on. Please I beg of you
I would burn my house down. We have spiders, big spiders at that, but that is a big HELL NO!
Well, I for one like spiders. Glue traps are just plain cruel. They prey on harmful pests in your house and garden. I only put them outside if they're in danger of being eaten by my cat.
She’s surely noticing the uprise in bugs now right 😂 - I feel bad for the spiders, check out the few who thought they were getting a free meal and perished on the sticky pad etc
Those are definitely wolf spiders. Recluses look similar in shape, but you can also tell by the legs. Recluses have long slender legs while wolf spiders have the thicker legs pictured.

this is a pic of a puppy. It didn't kill anyone, didn't get harmed in any way, hasn't gotten sick and is still around with it's owner who takes care of it. It's just a beautiful puppy that you should look at because this list was frankly, traumatizing. Screenshot...79-png.jpg
I don't mind this kind of "creepy but fascinating" content. I DO mind that when I click on an article showing wildlife photography, I'm greeted with pictures of dead animals. Now I just don't click on wildlife photography pictures. I can still see that poor dead owl in my mind. :(
For anyone who needs an eye bleach from all this, please know we rescued six cats from an abandoned house last night, we cleaned and dewormed them, they had a full meal, and are now happily sleeping in their warm new beds.
I was thinking these would be more "spooky" and "creepy" disturbing than "actually tragic" disturbing 😓
Some of these are interesting but I can’t handle this s**t about violence against children. Cancel this s**t.
WE DONT WANT REDDIT COPY PASTES! THESE ARTICLES ARE COOL AND INTERESTING! NO MORE AITA FROM REDDIT ITS BORING
I can't be the only who feels like there has to be some warning in these cause the rabies one is actually traumatising (for me at least it's now in my top 3 fears)
When I clicked on this, I was hoping to feel better about my life and how lucky I am, but now I feel worse and sad
