Ok I've seen all the pics, but they aren't worse that the leaked pics of the 11-M terrorist attack in Madrid, that's just a stupid girl in a very fast car, I don't know if it was her fault, but at least she didn't kill anyone with that car.

I'm taking a wild guess but I think he probably put the child out of it's misery before it died naturally. It was probably too far/late to get the child any help and that vulture looks hungry. The right thing to do would be to quickly kill the child. Maybe he realised this but then couldn't cope with what he'd had to do?

The evil is that those pics were even leaked in the first place, and then taken by the internet and ridiculed.

On a lighter note, the Jade Raymond comic was about the most disappointed I've ever been with GAF. I don't even want to link to it, and the fact that people found it funny at all just disturbs me.

No, I weep for humanity because they post pictures of a poor dead girl and laugh at it... thats why I am weeping for humanity, not for her. Even though I do feel bad.

This post makes me weep for humanity.

Background:

Three members of the Holliman family faced charges this morning stemming from the stabbing death of a 15-year-old Cleveland girl.

Annetta Holliman, 60, and her daughter, Yulonda Holliman, 32, held hands and the daughter cried as they waited to stand before a Cleveland Municipal Court judge to face charges of aggravated murder and felonious assault.

Anthony Holliman, 19, sat behind his aunt and grandmother in the courtroom. He faced charges of complicity in the murder and felonious assault.

Bond was set $1 million dollars for both women.

A fourth member of the family, Lesleye Holliman, 17, had already been charged with aggravated murder.

Police and prosecutors say the grandmother drove the family to a bus stop near East 140th Street and Darley Avenue over the weekend to fight Demesha Sharp.

The grandmother used a stun gun to hold a crowd at bay with the help of Yulonda Holliman, who wielded pepper spray. Lesleye stabbed Demesha once in the lower right abdomen, where the knife created a half inch hole in her aorta, a major blood vessel from the heart, Coroner Frank Miller said.

Anthony Holliman stabbed 16-year-old Christian Hardick, who had come to Demesha's aid, officials said. Hardick was released Monday from Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital.

The Hollimans and Demesha had been involved in a yearlong feud, officials say, but they have not said what the dispute was about.

Murder, it's a family affair.

Fortunately the grandmother recently died of being an old bitch. One down, two to go. >:|

Yip.

I dont know, i mean it's sick that the photos were leaked and I feel for the family ... but the pictures are really no more or less messed up than what has been posted thus far. Don't see how it's shocking.

Though I disagree with you, I see what you are trying to say. But, after so many truly tragic pictures, yours looks so petty. Same thing for the posts about Kevin P and Master Chief.

The fact that those ideas were the first in people's heads is the most disturbing thing of all.

they rally for people to stop doing what they disapprove of by inciting the most liberal/open-minded group of people you can easily find (college students).

and the way they do it is by yelling at people and holding those huge signs up.


Occasionally they'll come by with huge pictures of aborted babies at different stages.


So they basically dont want any of the following:

abortion
sex out of marriage
homosexuality
etc
etc
etc



and they try to pick fights with everyone. and there's always some stupid a-hole nerdy politician type idiot that will try to start a debate with them, but to no avail since they keep yelling the same shit and saying "you're too young to understand anything, go burn in hell"


they tell people to burn in hell a lot, too.

makes total unsense, as the boy in the second pic doesn't look as if he had seen a lot from life yet...

I had a professor tell me that the picture had to be altered somewhat. The girl in the picture was not nine, as generally reported, but thirteen and past puberty, so they had to give her a bit of a breast reduction. I haven't read this anywhere else, so I don't know if it's accurate or not. The professor who told me this is a history professor who has published on the Vietnam War. He's completely strait-laced and serious, not a kook or anything. Has anyone ever heard this before?

I'd recommend the following video to anyone who wishes to see how animals are treated in the name of business, all to satisfy our wants: Earthlings. Be advised that it is truly disturbing. I found it extremely difficult to sit through, stopping it many times. I persevered, however, deducing that I owed it to the animals of the world to witness what our kind does to these creatures.

Edit: Okay, it's not embedded anymore.

so I guess this is supposed to make me a vegetarian? I find it amusing when it states that if the majority of people slaughtered their own animals they would be vegetarians. Meat its meat and if you want to eat it, it requires the death of an animal. All carnivorous animals are this way. I do disagree with the way some of the people are "playing" at slaughtering the animals and some of the practices, simply because the way my family had always done it was a simple throat slit. They show the worst conditions possible to give that "shock" factor. But whatever, to each their own I guess, I'll just keep enjoying my roast chicken.

EDIT: You know whats weird... that some folks are more then willing to save a stray dog than they are to save a stray human being... now don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but it just seems silly.
 
I read an account on the Kevin Carter story that photographers were instructed not to touch or interfere with any people they came across due to disease.

Plus, even if the photo just got one person to donate $15 to some charity organization to help improve someone's life it would be worth it in my opinion.

The fact that he killed himself a few months later is really sad. Shit.

Wikipedia said:
Carter snapped the haunting photograph and chased the vulture away. However, he also came under heavy criticism for just photographing — and not helping — the little girl:
"The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene."[2]
The photograph was sold to The New York Times where it appeared for the first time on March 26, 1993. Practically overnight hundreds of people contacted the newspaper to ask whether the child had survived, leading the newspaper to run a special editor's note saying the girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but that her ultimate fate was unknown.

Wikipedia tells another side to the story from another photographer on the scene: the child was only waiting for his mother, who was briefly away getting food from a UN delivery. Further, Carter's suicide note shows that the images of death and destruction he witnessed as a photographer were only part of the reason for his suicide, with a seemingly larger part of his problems stemming from personal debt.

i eat meat, however, it's kind of sickening when you think of the way the slaughter houses treat the livestock. they are forced to eat until extremely fat, shoved into little boxes, in the case of chickens, have their beaks cut off and are given absolutely no quality of life. they can't move around, they're transported around like cargo and are just treated extremely poorly.

you can't blame the farmers though, this is a capitalistic society, so whatever makes the most money right? who cares if random cow number 103045 never got to see the sun, or run around, or do anything. as long as we see it on our plate, nicely prepare or if the farmers got their dough, we're happy.

If it means anything though, animals that got to live a better quality of life taste a lot better than animals that live in small boxes, fed through a tube and skinned/gutted alive.

Does it require the torture of an animal? I mean, some of the people are just absolute monsters. That's sad, in of itself.

But the conditions of some of these places - I don't think the entire point of the documentary is to turn people into vegetarians. I think it's a look into how brutal the industry has become, how business has trumped ethics. That's the sad part.

God, right before bed. Thanks, fellas!

Seriously. Me too. This is officially the worst thread on The NeoGAF™ on many different levels. With good intentions maybe, but I was depressed for at least 5 minutes after checking the backstory on the vulture pic.

Edit: And the trailer castle thing there is mega-awesome.
