What the hell is wrong with people?

Thought this would be a good topic for those 'WTF were they thinking' kind of things we find in the news.

As a true crime junkie this one even unnerves me.

Three abandoned children and the skeletal remains of a fourth person who was likely their sibling were found Sunday in an apartment west of downtown Houston, authorities said.

 Yeah I just read that in Huffpost US.  I noticed the mother and boyfriend have not been charged with anything.

I'd've probably died in the process of (at least trying to) killing those assholes, defending my family. Those people are just sick.  Diablo

I'm back to ignoring all news sources for this very reason. People are reprehensible.

This might answer some questions:




And the sad thing is I’m disappointed that we somehow haven’t reached the “not even bothering to procreate” stage. Of course, if the math I’ve done is any indication (given that the time between the first and last births was 496 days and that the average age of mice’s first mating is 6-8 weeks [I split the difference and made it 7]), that shit takes about 10 generations. Although I guess we’re, what two or three generations since Calhoun published his findings?

It's the reprehensible that get good news rating so they are over-represented.

I definitely regretted reading it.

If I’m wrong for not starting a new thread sorry

U.S. House candidate got drunk and berated tween girls at slumber party, their parents say

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa...story.html

Quote: “(My friend) gave me a medication I had never taken before,” Broyles told local NBC affiliate KFOR. “And I had an adverse reaction. Instead of helping me sleep, I hallucinated. And I don’t remember anything until I woke up or came to, and I was throwing up in a hamper.”

1) you’re throwing your friend under the bus for distribution

2) you’re confessing to taking a controlled substance

3) you’re giving my dear friend, ambien, a bad rap

I hate when people who can’t handle drugs freak out on ambien

How hard is it to just stay in bed?
