Man arrested after footage shows elderly woman dragged to ground in mugging

Man arrested after footage shows elderly woman dragged to ground in mugging A man has been arrested after video footage showed a woman in her 80s being dragged to the ground during a daylight mugging. The incident, which took place in Sittingbourne, Kent, sparked a manhunt on Facebook after someone shared footage captured on a nearby CCTV camera. In the recording, an elderly woman can be seen making her way across a road with her walking stick before a silver car pulls up opposite her. A man gets out of the vehicle and walks briskly past the woman towards a shop, where he appears to peer through the window before suddenly walking back in the direction he came from. The pair appear to have a brief exchange before the man snatches the victim’s bag, sending her flying to the ground. He then runs back to his car and speeds off, while the woman sits up with her walking stick and attempts to get back to her feet. CCTV footage showing the mugging from two different angles was shared ...

The most terrifying thing that happened during the Holocaust was that the Nazis didn't just use gas.

The most terrifying thing that happened during the Holocaust was that the Nazis didn't just use gas. They used human lives as guinea pigs in cruel scientific experiments. There are records of attempts to kill people in terrible ways with electricity before they opted for gas because it was easier. In the Belzec concentration camp in Poland, there are accounts of a room with a metal floor. The Nazis would flood the floor with water and force people inside. Then, they would connect a strong electric current that passed through the water and the metal. They stopped because the electric current caused a short circuit in the local power grid. For the Nazis, this was not a moral issue, but a technical one, which they could cover up. Electricity also killed people in concentration camps like Auschwitz. These barbed wire fences conducted about 6,000 volts. Guards used them to kill prisoners, pushing them against the wires or pulling them close while shooting. Prisoners described thes...

2 Children Out Walking Get Caught Between a Gunman and His Target

2 Children Out Walking Get Caught Between a Gunman and His Target Watch the video Gunfire erupts on a Bronx sidewalk, and several passers-by, including a 5-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister, rush toward a bodega’s entrance for shelter. But the children collide with a man who is also racing for cover, and all three fall to the pavement before finding safety. As they tumble down together, the children at one point are lying directly between the man, the gunman’s obvious target, and the gunman himself, who continues firing at close range. The girl yanks her brother’s wrist, pulling him to the ground and wrapping him in her chest as his left shoe comes off in the commotion. After about eight seconds, the gunman sprints off. Amazingly, the harrowing scene, captured on surveillance video, ended without either of the children being hurt and the 24-year-old man they were tangled up with in stable condition and expected to survive after being shot in the back and both legs, the ...

Winded cop struggles to chase down bike-riding rebel in viral ‘cat-and-mouse’ scuffle

Winded cop struggles to chase down bike-riding rebel in viral ‘cat-and-mouse’ scuffle Watch the video This boy’s blue in the face. A Cincinnati cop tried, and failed, to chase down a defiant cyclist in a viral “cat-and-mouse” scuffle recorded by a bystander — and the clip has since been viewed more than 10 million times online. The officer was trying to rip something out of the cyclist’s hands when he pivoted and put the younger man in a headlock, the video taken earlier this month shows. The cyclist used the policeman’s weight against him and easily pushed him to the ground. While the pot-bellied cop tried to right himself, the man bolted over to his abandoned bicycle and started to mount it. The officer, undeterred despite his apparent exhaustion, yanked on the rear tire, forcing the cyclist to lose his grip and tumble to the ground. The rabble-rouser easily outpaced the stocky officer, who struggled greatly during their minute-long chase. He even started circling around th...

Care home nurse who was caught on spy camera dragging a partially blind, dementia-stricken woman, 85, across a room as she cried in distress is struck off

Care home nurse who was caught on spy camera dragging a partially blind, dementia-stricken woman, 85, across a room as she cried in distress is struck off A care home nurse who was caught on a spy camera dragging a helpless dementia-suffering woman across her room onto a urine-stained bed has been struck off. Mamello Herring was caught by a hidden camera installed by the victim's family after suspicions arose about her treatment at a care home in Halifax, West Yorkshire. The disturbing footage, taken on November 30, 2018, showed Herring and colleague Maria Jackson dragging Angelina Lanera, then 85, from a toilet back to her bed as she cried in distress. Ms Lanera had been a resident of Claremont House for a period of months and was 'physically frail, had reduced mobility, suffered from dementia, psychosis and was partially blind'. However, the nursing staff manhandled her using a 'drag lift', a technique banned because of the injuries it can cause, which invo...

Reasons Why nitrogen isn't used as a method of execution

Reasons Why nitrogen isn't used as a method of execution Nitrogen asphyxiation is one of the most benign deaths imaginable. It’s not the nitrogen that kills, but the fact that it replaces oxygen. You die of asphyxiation, but not asphyxiation like when someone pulls a plastic bag over your head. That’s with built-up of CO2 in your system, which is a horrible feeling. No, with nitrogen you exhale all the CO2, so it’s like gently falling asleep. Nitrogen is not some special drug that needs to be produced by the pharmaceutical industry. On the contrary, it’s readily available in the air we breath. The prison can itself install a small nitrogen production unit, if no gas dealer would want to deliver it. It can be administered through a face mask without any risk for personnel. If it escapes it just mingles with the air. It is not toxic too people (we breath it all the time). So no need for a gas chamber. Just make sure the room is not too small and is ventilated. It’s fast. 10–15 m...

A trio of exotic dancers were arrested for violating the county's anti-public-nudity ordinance. In court a defendant bent over in front of County Judge David Demers to demonstrate that the bottoms they wore were too large to show what the Vice Squad detectives claimed that they did. The judge found in the dancers' favor and dismissed all charges. The Rest of the Story! The photograph snapped by some local journalist got on the news-service wires and was reprinted later that year in Playboy, leading to some international attention in those days of pre-Web communications; and the Internet has spread it around the world many times since then.

A truly evocative image taken by Albert Winkler on August 11, 1957, hides a painful story

A truly evocative image taken by Albert Winkler on August 11, 1957, hides a painful story This is the moment of the rescue of the mountaineer Claudio Corti, the only survivor of the Eiger tragedy. Corti and Stefano Longhi began their climb on 3 August 1957, crossing paths with the Germans Günther Nothdurft and Franz Mayer with whom they decided to join forces. On 9 August Longhi was the victim of a fall and was injured, remaining behind waiting for help. Shortly afterwards, Corti is also left behind because he was hit by some falling rocks. The two Germans continue, but die on the descent. On August 11th the spectacular rescue attempt took place: Lionell Terray, the second climber of the North Eiger, was lowered from the summit to reach Corti. The mountaineer manages to place the Italian on his back and climb back up, saving the injured man. Unfortunately, the same cannot be done with Longhi, who loses his life.

A South African man has been arrested after throwing his daughter of a roof.

A South African man has been arrested after throwing his daughter of a roof. The unnamed man was involved in a stand-off with police after getting onto the roof of his shack and holding his daughter over the edge to stop the structure from being demolished. While confirming the incident, police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge said that “at about 10.40am, a 38-year-old man climbed onto the roof of one of the structures and held his one-year-old girl in his hands. He did this to force the team not to demolish the structure. “Due to the dangerous threat to the safety of the child, police set out a plan to rescue the girl and to arrest the male,” said Captain Beetge. Police officers surrounded the shack, trying to persuade the man to come down from the roof to no avail. Just as one officer grabbed him, the man let go of his daughter. Luckily for the toddler, police officers on the ground managed to grab her before she hit the ground. “The father will be charged with attempted m...

Between 2 lakh-4lakh women, significant portion of them Hindus, were raped by the Pakistani army during 1971 war. Some women used to be raped 80 times in a single night

Between 2 lakh-4lakh women, significant portion of them Hindus, were raped by the Pakistani army during 1971 war. Some women used to be raped 80 times in a single night Jessica Lee Rehman calls rape in 1971 an instance of religious terrorism. She said "The Pakistan Army is an Islamic institution, its soldiers are warriors of God and ...they rape in God's name. Therefore the raping of girls and women, the forced bodily transgressions, and the mutilations are considered to be a triumph for good." Bengalis were dehumanised and Bengali women were perceived as prostitutes inviting sex. They were thought to have Hindu features which deleted any thought for their "Muslim" status that might prevent a perpetrator's savage activities. Faisal, a Pakistani officer who had been in East Pakistan portrays Bengali culture in terms of the differences between East and West Pakistani ladies, pushing the open discrimination against Bengali women: "The women bathe open...

He's a native of North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean

Do you see this boy...? He's a native of North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean. His island is under the special protection of the Indian government. They try to kill (and sometimes succeed!) any foreigner foolish enough to set foot on their small island. As an Indian government military helicopter is flying overhead, this North Sentinalese boy tries to shoot it down with his bow and arrow. He's also a little hard to see here, but he's probably naked. Why? Because they probably haven't changed their lifestyle in nearly 40,000 years. This is a hominid whose lifestyle hasn't "advanced" since the Late Paleolithic. Jokes aside, and in all seriousness, this man may be technologically behind the last Neanderthal who died on this planet (also about 40,000 years ago). So what's the point? Simply this: Any wise "alien" (extraterrestrial) who figured out how to get here from there in less than three human lifetimes will be so thousands or milli...

The Sad Story of Murderous Mary, a Circus Elephant Hanged

The Sad Story of Murderous Mary, a Circus Elephant Hanged She went by Big Mary. For years, Mary worked for the Sparks World Famous Shows traveling circus, where she entertained people from coast to coast. That all came to a crashing halt in 1916, when the town of Erwin, Tennessee arrested Mary for murder and hanged her from a crane in front of a crowd of spectators. Mary (c. 1894–September 13, 1916), also known as "Murderous Mary", was a five-ton Asian elephant who performed in the Sparks World Famous Shows circus. After killing circus employee Walter “Red” Eldridge on his second day as her handler in September 1916, in Kingsport, Tennessee, she was hanged in nearby Erwin.

He was killed by Mary in Sullivan County, Tennessee, on the following evening. Although unqualified, Eldridge led the elephan...
