Si vous aimez les complots, je vous conseille l'excellent "Opération Lune" qui explique comment les services secrets ont monté de toute pièce la mission Appolo 11 grâce à l'aide de Stanley Kubrick. Il est passé sur Arte, il y a quelques années et commenté par Alexandre Adler. Vous y apprendrez des choses très surprenantes dans la bouche même de Kissinger !

Une histoire qui mérite bien un Darwin Award (via Quora) :

 

Citation

Have you ever seen someone treat someone else horribly and receive instant karma?

 

In 1999, Paul Warner Powell, a 20-year-old man, was obsessed with 16-year-old Stacie Reed, who wasn’t into him.

 

Upon learning she had an African-American boyfriend, he grew furious, as a self-proclaimed white supremacist. He broke into her house and demanded to date her. When she resisted his advances, he killed her.

 

He then took the time to go downstairs and pour a glass of iced tea, waiting for Kristie Reed, Stacie’s 14-year-old sister, to come home from school. When Kristie asked him where her sister was, he dragged her down to the basement and stabbed her, leaving her to die.

 

Or so he thought.

 

The girls’ stepfather arrived home early, and upon finding their bodies, he frantically searched for the phone to call the police and EMTs.

 

Upon extensive treatment, Stacie’s 14-year-old sister ultimately survived, the scars on her neck serving as visible evidence of the brutal attack. She was easily able to identify Paul Powell as the killer.

Paul Powell showed no remorse in court, even going so far as to call the victims ‘stupid’. He was then convicted of Capital Murder and multiple other subsequent charges, making him eligible for Capital Punishment.

 

When he was sentenced to death, his attitude quickly changed. He cried and begged for mercy. Unfortunately, mercy would come in the form of a legal loophole that switched his death sentence to a life sentence. His initial death penalty was reversed because there was inadequate proof of a special circumstance against the murder victim needed to authorize the death penalty.

 

Believing he was safe from the death penalty due to double jeopardy, he sent an abusive letter to the prosecuting attorney in his case, Paul Ebert. He essentially admitted to every single detail, including the attempted rape of both girls, bragging about what he got away with.

"Since I have already been indicted on first degree murder and the Va. Supreme Court said that I can't be charged with capital murder again, I figured I would tell you the rest of what happened on Jan. 29, 1999, to show you how stupid all of y'all are. I guess I forgot to mention these events when I was being questioned. Ha ha! Do you just hate yourself for being so stupid... and saving me?"

He then sent a letter to his then girlfriend, telling her that he had planned all of the killings, including the murder of the Reed girls’ parents (which he didn’t carry out). He also sent death threats to Lorraine Reed, the mother of the two girls.

 

His letter admitted to an attempted rape of the victim as part of the murder, which was a special circumstance. In the first trial, the prosecutor had been unable to prove an attempted rape required to authorize the death penalty, but he now had all the evidence he needed.

 

The attorney immediately took the letters and sent them to a judge. The judge looked at the letters, declared that there was new evidence, and ordered a new trial. The letters he sent to his girlfriend, the attorney, and Lorraine Reed proved beyond a doubt that he was guilty of Capital Murder.

 

He was convicted and sentenced to death a second time after another full trial in 2003. Not long after, Paul Warner Powell was executed by electric chair.

 

Appeal denied for killer who sent taunting letter

La veille de son exécution (10 ou 11 11 ans après les faits), il a pu avoir une conversation avec la mère et la soeur (victime rescapée) de la victime assassinée. L'appel aurait duré entre une heure et une heure et demie, avec interruptions.

 

Quote

Whoberry [la mère des victimes] said one of her sisters, Theresa Davidson of Texas, "kind of facilitated the conversation." The call lasted, with some interruptions, for an hour to an hour and a half. "As the conversation went on, he was able to open up a little bit more. He wasn't belligerent, he didn't raise his voice. It was very civil," she said. "The questions that we asked, he answered to the best of his ability." "I did ask him at some point if he had forgiven himself, and he got emotional and he said, 'No.' "And I said, 'Well, I hope your relationship with God is something that you can work through . . . before tomorrow night,' and we let him know that we are praying for him and his mom, his family," Whoberry said.

Sheldon said last night that he and Whoberry hoped to work together to get legislation passed that would enable loved ones to visit with inmates on death row. He said that the conference call was "so productive for both sides. . . . It allowed him to take responsibility and to show remorse." However, he said, it being over the telephone took something away from it.

Whoberry said she has forgiven Powell, for her own sake, and that she had hoped to meet with him. Authorities denied permission for a meeting with Powell, who was abusive toward the family and law-enforcement officials in letters after his arrest.

 

Une compassion assez impressionnante chez la mère des victimes..

Quand tu prends le risque de tuer des automobilistes en bloquant une autoroute par des obstacles en travers de la voie, fais quand même gaffe à la trajectoire du véhicule  qui parviendrait à les éviter :

 

(Warning, graphic content)

 

 

Ok, c'est limite de poster ça dans la catégorie Darwin awards, le sort des deux percutées reste incertain et il n'est dit qu'elles auraient pu se reproduire nonobstant l'accident :

"The next GTA has to be Seattle City “No Lives Matter Edition”"

 

 

 

"The State Patrol announced on Twitter on Saturday night that protesters would no longer be allowed on Interstate 5 “for the safety of all citizens including protesters and motorists.”"

Si c'est le tweet officiel de la police, il y aurait matière à dire que la manifestation était donc permise avant ça?

Si la police/ville permet la manifestation, je pense qu'ils sont en partie responsable d'assurer le bon déroulement...

Il participe à une Covid party et meurt du Covid:

"This is a party held by somebody diagnosed by the COVID virus and the thought is to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected," Dr. Appleby said.

Je trouve tout aussi con les gars qui vont aux covid party que les médias et médecins qui insistent sur le fait que le covid est dangereux pour les jeunes (en omettant très certainement que la personne avait des faiblesses).

Bah si ce n'est pas dangereux pour les jeunes, aucune raison de ne pas aller aux Covid party si tu es jeune.

 

Perso, je vois le Covid comme moins dangereux pour les jeunes.mais clairement pas sans danger.

Ne serait-ce que parce que ne pas en mourir ne veut pas dire ne pas douiller sévère et ni s'en sortir sans séquelles.

Tu voyais souvent tes GP quand tu étais jeune étudiant?

 

Les miens habitaient pas loin et il y avait des anniversaires de cousins plusieurs fois dans l'année, ça ne doit pas être si rare.
