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.

What Was It
Agfox 10 months ago
This happened in April last year. A crocodile photographer & conservationist, Tom Chalmers Hayes, who went to the scene suggested it was a trophy hunter's killing. He posted a message on social media stating that there were "...very clear machete marks...on the body and around the neck area where the head has been removed."

That is scary. I was told by a friend that there is a stretch of road on the Alaska highway that has a high rate of tire damage. With a tire shop just past that point on the highway.

Those are nails in a wood plank, not a bought product, you can tell by the messy and janky look of the spikes

This was probably taken in South Africa, it's pretty common here. Not just in rural areas either, it happens in the city as well. You want to read a real horror story go and google South Africa hijacking and murder statistics

From what I can tell, someone placed a few spike traps in the road - most likely to lure the person out of the car so the person in the car would remove the traps and then whoever laid the trap would (best case scenario) rob that person

It's not just illegal drugs that can do this unfortunately. "Thalidomide was a widely used drug in the late 1950s and early 1960s for the treatment of nausea in pregnant women. It became apparent in the 1960s that thalidomide treatment resulted in severe birth defects in thousands of children."

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. :(
