Craziness in the news today

Published by shell618 at 8:13 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

It’s a strange, strange world out there! I was surfing the news and realized that there are some very odd people. Case in point– In one story, an Australian woman doused her sleeping husbands genitals in a flammable alcohol substance because he had been caught looking at another woman. She then set him on fire, claiming his penis belonged “Only to her”. Unfortunately, the man has died from his injuries. BUT STILL!! What was this woman thinking?? If she burned his family pride, what use would it be to her later (had he lived)? With third degree burns in that area, would he even be able to have functioned in a normal husband-ry way? Would he ever had wanted it to work in that way with her?? I know I wouldn’t want to have relations with someone who burned my private area….
And another one, in Ohio… a six year old shot his teenaged babysitter because the babysitter stepped on the child’s foot. What parent in their right mind would leave a loaded shotgun within reach of a six year old?? And the fact that the child knew enough of the workings of that gun to be able to shoot someone with it! I think the parents should be brought up on child endangerment charges. What if the kid had had a disagreement with his best friend? Another child who may not have known the danger of the loaded gun. At least the teen was aware of the danger and escaped with minor injuries. That is one story that could have ended up much, much worse.
Ok, my rant will be complete with this one… Another six year old missed his school bus, took the family car keys and tried to drive himself to school. The account said his mother was asleep at the time and didn’t know he had taken the car. How does a six year old get up for school, eat breakfast, get dressed, and make it to the bus when mama is sleeping through it all? What the Hell?? There are some people who really shouldn’t be allowed to have children. That is all I have to say about that.
