14-year-old Wyoming boy Bobby Maher was stabbed to death at a mall by two teens wearing ski masks at a shopping mall.


14-year-old Wyoming boy Bobby Maher was stabbed to death at a mall by two teens wearing ski masks at a shopping mall. 

The two teens, both 15, named Jarreth Plunkett and Dominique Harris, were stalking his girlfriend and another girl when Bobby showed up to escort them to safety. 

Surveillance footage shown to the court shows that Bobby was backing off when the two teens then lunged at him, picking him up and slamming him head first into the ground before punching him repeatedly. 


One of them, Plunkett, plunged a knife into Bobby. 

After they were arrested, they told police that he called them “freaks,” which they are, but there’s no evidence that he did anything more than tell them to leave when they were harassing the girls. 

Bobby Maher was brave, and he didn’t deserve this.

Girl, 16, paraded naked in Pakistan after 'honour' row

Girl, 16, paraded naked in Pakistan after 'honour' row The 16-year-old girl (far left), with her mother and cousins - their faces have been blurred to preserve their anonymity Villagers in a remote area of north-west Pakistan are in shock after armed men forced a 16-year-old girl to walk half-naked through the village, claiming it was to redeem their family honour. Local residents say the woman was targeted because of her brother's long-forgotten secret affair with a woman from the assailants' family. The incident, which came to light on Thursday when the media got wind of it, took place last week near the remote town of Chaudhwan, some 80km (50 miles) west of Dera Ismail Khan city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Police have arrested eight men and are searching for a ninth. Witnesses say the girl was attacked in broad daylight when she went to fetch water from a pond. "I and my [female] cousins were returning after filling our pitchers when the...

After surviving the Andersonville Prison Camp, this is what a union soldier looked like. Andersonville Prison was a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp. Andersonville Prison, also known as Camp Sumter, was a Confederate military prison during the American Civil War. The prison was opened in February 1864 near Andersonville, Georgia, and originally covered roughly 16.5 acres of land1. By June of the same year, the prison had expanded to 26.5 acres. The prison was rectangular in shape and had a 15-foot-tall stockade around the grounds. The commandant was Captain Henry Wirz, who was accused and tried for war crimes following the war and hanged for his crimes. He was hanged upside-down with dick cut off. The population inside Andersonville Prison’s walls in April 1864 was 7,160. By the end of August the same year, the population had risen to 31,693. Inside the prison, there was a fence built 19 feet from the wall, often referred to as ‘the dead line’. Any prisoner who touched the ...

A photograph said to show 10 Rohingya Muslims before their killing in the village of Inn Din, Myanmar, in September last year.

BANGKOK — For about an hour on Wednesday, the website of Myanmar National Television carried a surprising report: A mass prisoner amnesty the previous day, it said, had included seven members of the country’s military who were briefly jailed for a massacre of Rohingya Muslims. The report was quickly taken down and was strongly denied by a government spokesman, U Zaw Htay. “It’s not true, it’s false news,” he said. “They are still in prison.” The jailing of the seven, three officers and four soldiers, was announced only on April 10, a rare admission of guilt by armed forces accused by the international community of unleashing a scorched-earth campaign in northern Rakhine State last year that compelled around 700,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist country, for Bangladesh. The United Nations has called the military campaign “ethnic cleansing.” The television network issued an apology for its piece, which had shown men emerging from a pri...

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. Here are some images containing Graphic content visual material that is considered disturbing, offensive, or inappropriate. images from Execution of torturers and violence.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

 An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941 An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German a...

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009 Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified. In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code. A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation. Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics. In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned...
