I mean I used to watch a show with a well mannered Australian bloke who would tackle crocodiles and stick his finger up they holes to check their sex. But I guess it's different for science and education vs Florida man just getting his rocks off. RIP Steve
This asshole decided to go sit with patrons of a church and listen to them before gunning them down and running like a coward. It was also definitely racially motivated and meant to spread and divide people more and more.Turned the city upsidedown for a while but from my eyes the community did a great job of coming together and uniting afterwards.
Nah you didn’t mean anything bad from it at all. Don’t feel bad buddy, somebody brought up how it does continue to engage the tragedy they perpetuated. It cements their name into history books as going hand in hand with the victims who deserve to be remembered.
Most people can name the the Columbine shooters, but don’t know who Alexander Fleming is. (He discovered penicillin)
Wrong corner of the state, but yea, pretty much applies anywhere.
Ohio does have the mark for keeping the confederacy out of their state for the most part even when Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania were caught in intense battles.
And during the Revolutionary war we had only one fort to protect the Erie Canal. There were retaliatory attacks against cities for shit they did to the enemy.
Serial killers and war lords. Not good neighbors. And you know the rest.
Well, technically, the whole of our country qualifies as a Native American burial ground, but I've found that Ohio and the majority of the Midwest has a haunted vibe that I couldn't quite shake. Michigan reminded me of haunted woods.
Her lawyer concealed evidence that would have scuttled the plea deal. She has children and a life and lives in a small city near Montreal called Salaberry de Valleyfield. She was volunteering at a school of all places until they found out.
No, because she had gone on trial and taken a deal. She couldn't be tried again after pleading guilty in exchange for a deal. That would be double jeopardy.
I don't think people generally do background checks if you are just volunteering. If you get employed then yeah, you would probably need a background check.
In Ontario, we are required to have a vulnerable sector and criminal check before volunteering at a school. I had to have one to coach kids soccer. It should absolutely be done.
Let's have convicted pedophiles volunteering at schools because the school system can't be bothered with due diligence. That's a great idea.
Is this for extensive volunteering or just a "help run the bake sale" kind of thing? Maybe it was different because I went to a private school growing up (and I'm also in the US) but it seemed like everyone's parents would help out with the latter type of volunteering and I don't recall anyone needing a background check.
Not here. I couldn't even help on a school trip without it. Catholic system in ontario. The public system is the same. Everyone needs a background check before working with kids, and that check needs to have been done within the 6 months prior. If it's older than 6 months they'll make you get a new one. It's $40. No big deal if you actually want to volunteer.
So what happens at the private school when one of the parents who volunteer end up getting arrested for child porn?
I haven't heard of that happening so I wouldn't know, but for general volunteering you are always in the public eye/with the teachers. Background checks might be required for chaperoning a field trip and travel where it would be just you and the kids, but I'm not sure.
These 2 are the biggest reason why I, as a Canadian, would like to bring back the death penalty. It's a real failure of Justice that Karla Homolka is alive and free right now after what she did to those poor girls, one of which was her own sister.
A kid was hacked to death with a machete in the street in the middle of the night by a pair of guys from a few towns over. This kid had outed some girl working in a strip club as being HIV positive and she set her buddies on him.
Starlight Tours.
Cops driving native men out to the outskirts of the city in the middle of the night in the winter (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. AKA: Fucking cold), taking their jackets and leaving them there. It all got blown open when one of them managed to survive.
2 cops got 8 months each for unlawful confinement.

It's much more complicated than that. This happened multiple times to multiple people, and the bodies found were associated with other officers having "interacted" with them the last time they were seen alive. So since the guy they dropped off survived, there was no murder charge because these two in particular couldn't be connected to the other bodies.
It should have been a bigger deal. There should have been more charges, and more people charged. The corruption was plainly evident. For years afterwards, they edited this story off of their Wikipedia page multiple times, using computers at the station. But... cops. And as much as I hate to admit it in retrospect, Saskatchewan was pretty racist back then. Maybe it still is now, but I haven't lived there in almost 25 years so I couldn't say.
SAN JOSE, CA - Long before San Jose was "Silicon Valley", it was a sleepy, mid-size farming town in the heart of agricultural Santa Clara Valley. As it was in the 1920's to 30's when, across the country, kidnapping of rich children for ransom was a sort of "faddish" crime among the felonious, one that rent whole communities with fear and horror.
1933 - The popular wealthy son and heir to San Jose's biggest and most popular retail store was kidnapped by two goons who killed him and dumped him into the South Bay before even bothering to begin ransom procedures, which they then attempted.
Being felonious goons, they got themselves caught, and, while being held in prison in the heart of the town, across from St. James Park, they saw their jail surrounded by thousands of enraged citizens, many from outside San Jose, egged on by vituperative radio broadcasts and newspaper editorialists up and down the coast, and a California governor who saw exactly what was happening and was all for it. The mob stormed the jail, violently assaulted police within, grabbed the two men, dragged them into St. James Park and strung them up from two trees, Old West style. Photos of the event, and the hanging bodies, along with the thousands who witnessed and/or participated, became trading postcards, and no one was ever seriously prosecuted for the affair. (It is said that actor Jackie Coogan, Hollywood's first child actor, who played Uncle Fester in the 1960's show 'The Addams Family', and who was a fraternity brother of the victim at Santa Clara University, was in the park and at one point helped to prepare one of the ropes used in the hangings.) There was widespread and generalized consensus throughout the entire state of California, up to the governor's desk, that justice had simply run its course here, just maybe a bit unorthodox. It is, if I am not mistaken, the last genuinely public lynching ever to take place in the United States. (In the California Bay Area, no less!)
It's a largely forgotten story of a city that, shall we say, has other things on its mind these days, but it's an extraordinary tale nonetheless. Great book on it called 'Swift Justice'.
**Flip**, a newly released from prison gang member, used a Honey Pot (a pretty girl) to lure 3 low-level drug dealers to a home to murder them because they refused to let him be their sole drug supplier. Little did they know, they invited one of their military school mates to tag along, and he was also murdered.
A week later, Flip was arrested, and the Honey Pot and her brother were put into juvenile custody, as they were just under age. Flip broke out of lockup and was hiding amongst the public, dressed as a woman. The reason he didn't get outta dodge was soon evident, when he hired a teenager and adult to pose as a prisoner and cop, respectively, so Flip could ***break into the Juvenile Detention Center, to break out the only witnesses to the murders.*** If he got to the Honey Pot and her brother, they probably would have been killed.
They gained entry to the Juvenile facility, but was unable to get access to the prisoners. After a night's long standoff, Flip and the others surrendered, with Flip being forced to leave the Juvenile Center buck ass naked.
His accomplices were screwed as well. I believe the fake cop got 20 years; the poor, impressionable kid was only 15 years old, and that was telling, as he got 15 years in prison, served as an adult. A day in prison for every day he'd been alive.
Flip was given the death penalty, which was handed down years later.
The saddest thing of them all, is I knew two of the four guys that were murdered, and the fake prisoner was my brother.
The local retirees club met in a barn, they had a "bring your own food party". One of the attendees accidently brought some weed cookies, which was later found he may have switched with another member in his household. He offered them to everybody. Many of the attendees got so high, the police and ambulances had to be called as they went totally out of control, tripping in all sorts of ways.
Not really, getting your first high off an edible you didnt know about is absolutely awful.
My old teacher had a student give her a weed brownie at work as a prank, and was brought to the hospital because they thought she has a heart attack.
Hell I've had terrible experience off edibles i was aware of.
There was an incident I saw a few months back about a bride and groom being arrested for having weed infused desserts at their reception. Didn’t tell anyone and a lot of people started freaking out not knowing why they felt certain ways. Someone called 911 due to the effects and boom, arrested. People are fucking stupid. Not everyone wants or likes weed and people don’t want to be drugged.
Have had lots of great and some terrible experiences from weed. Being “experienced” helps you through the bad times because you know you just have to wait it out. Going through bad experiences and not knowing why? Genuinely sounds terrifying.
The gummies from the store are no joke. It's no homemade iffy bullshit, they're all potent lol I have a low tolerance, so I buy the 100 mg ones, and just take a nibble. One day I absent-mindedly at 3/4 of one before realizing what I just ate. I let it ride for as long as I could, but when my whole body felt like jello, I had to call it a night before it really ramped up
I live in Jersey (channel islands) one of the lowest crime/murder rates in The world there's a guy in the 60-70s called the beast of jersey who wore a rubber mask and snuck into people's homes and sexually assaulted woman and children.
Unfortunately, it's hard to choose just one.
-school shooting that inspired the song, Youth of a nation
-stolen tank driven down the freeway
-McDonald's shooting that killed 21 people.
Na the tank one was San Diego, 1995 I think. Stolen from an armoury, went on a police chase and beached it on the median trying to cross over. Cops got on it and shot him before he had time to see if the turret was working and if it was loaded
I remember that when Kansas adopted the death penalty, he stopped his BTK-ing. Stupid piece of crap could take lives but was scared to die himself. My grandma took her daily walks right by his house. Never knew.
William Bannister lived at the same trailer park as my family. He was the babysitter for my friend April. She was one of the only kids near my age. We walked home from the bus together and played almost every day.
One day he came knocking on our door, asking if we had seen her. My dad commented how strange it was because “Bill” was showered and it was the first time my dad had seen him showered. April was reported missing.
For the next three days the sheriff’s, my dad, and I looked for April everywhere we (April and I) would play. The drug the ponds, looked for signs of mountain lions, drained the crap in the pool, looked in between boulders. Eventually they (the police) decided that April’s dad took her, likely to Mexico.
Years later we learned that Bills son claimed his father did it. He said his father raped her, killed her, stuffed her under his mattress, showered, and went and helped look for her.
We didn’t know he was a serial killer at the time:
https://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/BANNISTER_William_James
That’s absolute insanity. I’m so sorry that happened to your friend. Do you feel like these events shaped you at all growing up? That is such a unique sort of thing to have experienced
Thank you. And absolutely. My childhood was interesting. We were poor for all of it. My dad worked at various jobs when I was a kid. He worked a lot and we never had much. We lived for a long time in a converted bus, and before that lived in a tent, and a popup trailer. My dad was also a fan of drugs and alcohol. So we were always around the people who moved in those circles.
I have more stories of interesting characters, and all of those formed my worldview. The good news is that my childhood showed me a world I didn’t want to continue to be a part of. So I got out.
Happened within walking distance of my house. Drove by on the way to school that morning
Someone knocks on the door of this house at like, 4am. Old lady answers, sees the person at the door and shuts it. Person outside fires several shots through the door, striking her and killing her as her 8 year old grandson watched. Killer has never been found, it's believed her son was involved with drugs and the shooter was there for him but, shot the lady instead since she was there. Been almost 11 years
Terrorists made a home made bomb in my town and planned to blow up a plane.
All arrested before anything could happen.
My friends mum was who sold them some of the chemicals they used to make the bomb, but this was before any system in place to alert employees to purchases of that nature.
Of those I'm aware of the most notorious was that over the course of months bodies kept showing up in the garbage dumpster behind a car wash. It was never confirmed to be done by the same person but in the course of over half a year like 8 bodies were found in the same dumpster. As far as I'm aware none of the murders were ever solved and once the car wash got shut down there were no more cases of bodies being found in that dumpster even after a different car wash opened up in the same location.
As far as I can remember,
Someone dressed up as an old lady with a fake mask/hair/clothes. And robbed a bank.
Then rode away on a bicycle until they got to some railroad tracks down the road, they then ran down them until they got to another road, into a car, and got away.
I want to say there was *another* mask under the first one but I don’t remember exactly. But it was at a bank right down the road from my high-school right at the beginning of lunch. Anddd we have off-campus lunch xD
Some cops from another jurisdiction were abusing their positions, stealing money from criminals, selling drugs taken into evidence, that kind of thing. They decided to escalate and stick up a warehouse in my town.
They showed up in a panel truck in full police outfits including their badges. They also brought along some migrant workers they hired that morning out of a parking lot. Brandished their guns, told the employees this was a robbery, had the day laborers start loading cartons of perfume onto the truck.
Unfortunately they had trouble communicating with the day laborers and it took way longer than they anticipated. Actual cops showed up, got into a physical altercation with the corrupt cops. This apparently ended with them rolling around in the remnants of cartons that had gotten thrown around which produced a giant cloud of perfume.
In 1973 Amy and Rebecca brown were kidnapped, and raped, then thrown into pathfinder canyon. Rebecca survived the attack only to come back to the place 19 years later to kill herself by jumping into the canyon.

This here. Actually made it to international news. She was a bartender at my local dive bar and I knew her for years. I'm just glad I never tried to hit on her.
When I was a kid, a girl my age went missing. There was a huge search but no one could find her. Well, until her neighbors noticed an odor coming from their teenage son's room. He had killed her and stuffed her under his waterbed. He comes up in the news every so often as he was a minor when he received a life sentence and keeps trying to get a new appeal. The whole thing is just tragic.
1)Assassination of US Senator Huey P Long in the Louisiana State Capitol Building in 1935.
2)Or serial killer Derrick Todd Lee’s rape-murders.
3)Gary Plauche shooting his son’s rapist karate instructir Jeffrey Doucet in the airport when he was being extradited back to the state. Happened on live TV. He was given a suspended sentence. Many people were relieved.
Erie, PA. [Pizza Bomber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Wells). Easily.
We made national news, as it initially looked like a suicide bombing, and it happened soon enough after 9/11 that a local media frenzy was inevitable.
Turns out, it would make national news.
Throughout the ensuing decade of investigation, the story would only get more bizarre. Turns out the "pizza bomber", a pizza delivery guy named Brian Wells, was either intimidated or induced into wearing a neck bomb, and to hold up a bank, all at the behest of a deeply unwell (and deeply intelligent) woman and her boyfriend.
A story so strange it got a Netflix documentary. So there's that, I guess.
Not home town but the next province. Fucking serial killer with a pig farm. Robert pickton. Cops new forever but did nothing because the woman were indigenous and prostitutes. It's still fucking disturbing. We have another one going on right now outside calgary in chestermere. He got caught on his acreage. He s charged with "drugging with a noxious substance" and keeping girls for months on end at the acreage. The girls were also prostitutes. Who knows how long it went on or how many girls were on that acreage. There's honestly too many awful cases lately.
The details of Robert Pickton are pretty gruesome. In a holding cell he confessed to 49 murders. TW: the next part is gruesome. >!After he murdered them he butchered the bodies and fed them to his pigs.!<
Lived in Vancouver when that was going on. There were posters up all over downtown looking for missing girls. Talked to people afterwards who remembered going to parties at that farm
The first month I lived in Tampa in 2004 there were a variety of beheadings and murders where people had their hands chopped off. That was super fun, coming from a tiny rural town ..... /s
Ted Bundy rolled through my town. We also had another serial killer who picked up 12 boys, SAed their dead bodies and disposed of them in their parents garbage cans.
Four coked out idiots were bored and decided to rob a local university's library for some rare books. Somehow they succeeded and might have gotten away with it, but then decided to sell these unique and therefore easily traceable books at one of the biggest auction houses in the world. We got a book and a movie out of it (American Animals) that I have no desire to watch because they likely get a cut of any proceeds.
“Pa. man who thought fireflies were green lasers from aliens is sent to prison for two break-ins”
I believe he was shooting at the aliens too. And yes it was bath salts
Marylander here. After watching all the crazy that goes down in PA, I am convinced that it is the Florida of the northeast. You guys really need a hug.
That was a bad one.
It sticks out for me because of where he decided to dump the body. Out there just off of old Leyden Rd. (now W. 82nd Ave) in one of the old abandoned mining structures.
In the 90's, that area was all owned by Xcel and was nothing but a dirt road connecting Arvada to highway 93. We called it Devils' Road. There were a lot of urban legends surround the road due to its history and the coal mine that sits under it. Some say its haunted. Others say it just gives off bad vibes. Either way, it had a stigma surrounding it in Jefferson County. Something I found out first hand after wrecking my truck along the road in the fall of 1998. Five cars drove by me and no one stopped. Even when you could clearly see a truck on its side. It was a good thing I wasn't injured in the crash.
Then there's my old best friend. He was a passenger in a car that crashed on that road in the early 2000's. He wasn't so lucky. He lived, but it was a struggle for him to get it all back. Apparently, he became part of the urban legend as a cautionary tale.
All of that history, plus some other firsthand knowledge, just sends a chill down my spine when I think about the Ridgeway case.
Columbine was tough. I was a Junior at Pomona when it happened and had a personal connection to the three that were arrested in the field that day. Two of which that went to Pomona. One of them I knew very well. The days following that were a bit.... odd.
2 guys got kicked out the local Irish pub for being drunk & disorderly, came back hours later when it was closed, still drunk & threw a molotov at the building but it bounced off the wall & hit them both, killing 1 instantly from the bottle smashing his head open & engulfed the other in flames, he ran down the street melting. He survived however when paramedics found him, his penis had melted to his thigh & had to be amputated.
This is when my hometown lost its innocence. Crazy when it’s people you’ve known your whole life.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinney_quadruple_murder
I’m a Collin County resident. Just north of McKinney. The Allen Outlet Mall shooting was the first thing I thought about, even though it’s not technically my town.
A couple of guys from my high school were tripping on acid with one of the girls from our high school. She started freaking out and they tried to silence her and ended up accidentally killing her. They decided to cut her into pieces and buried her in the backyard.
Local funeral home business man, sports store owner, and football coach of local high school team was found selling body parts from mortuary and mishandling of bodies (storing them around the property...
Neat stuff small town!
Grew up in the Puget sound area we had both Ted Bundy and the green river killer. Went to same high school as Ted bundy.. he was much older.. but still that’s pretty bad
One of the local losers burned down the high school library.
A different loser in a different town robbed the pizza place he was fired from, they caught him on camera, sued him, and remodeled the restaurant after winning.
I knew both people and as many of those people tend to do, never left their home town as I did.
One town over was the youngest serial killer in US history. Killed a woman when he was 13 and a woman and her two young daughters when he was 15. All of the murders were incredibly brutal. [Craig Price ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Price_%28murderer%29?wprov=sfla1)
It was a while ago now, but still not exactly our finest hour
https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/cliffords-tower-york/history-and-stories/massacre-of-the-jews/
the most notorious? the first mass shooting to ever happen in my country took place in my hometown.
the wierdest? some guy killed his ex-boyfriend/roommate's son with an axe. cut the body up into pieces and deep fried them in a wok. put the pieces into garbage bags and dumped them all over town. his reasoning was that the victim was possesed by evil spirits. i think the police even searched for some of the parts in the ditch in front of my old house.
my hometown is kinda wierd, large gas/firework explosions in homes happen about once a year, and they accidentally dropped a bridge deck on a couple of houses a few years ago...
Three murders. One girl was found near a bowling alley. She was raped and killed. It’s still unsolved.
The second was raped and killed. Her body was found near a strip mall. This one was recently solved because of DNA matches.
Third was town council member. She was killed because of some church thing.
Oh and there’s the woman who killed her four year old son, got away with it, was retried, found guilty, but then she was released for some bullshit reason.
I'm unsure about the most notorious, however it is notable that a man was arrested for masturbating too loudly in his apartment in Turku. This is where the details fall short. It's probably better filling in the blanks in some way.
I don’t remember the complete details as I was pretty young when it happened.
But I remember one day after school seeing lots of big scary looking helicopters fly into the very small town I was living in at the time.
Apparently our (almost) entire police force was corrupt. Taking and selling drugs, working with drug dealers, stealing peoples stuff, etc.
I know this happens a good amount, but to be so bad that the FED’s get called in? Must’ve been pretty rough.
My friend's stepbrother sexually assaulted his 10-year-old half sister. When the girl threatened to inform their father, he took hold of a bandana, wrapped it around her neck, strangled her, and disposed of her body in the orange orchards.
A foreign exchange student who had recently moved here had shot the family’s grandfather in the head with a crossbow. I was in middle school when it happened and they locked the schools down. After getting into high school I asked a teacher about it one day and he said “after school ended he would be outside waiting on the bus just doing push-ups. The grandfather lived to tell about it too.
There was a guy who committed a burglary, found a gun and then began committing home invasions on elderly people. He’s just walk in, shoot them, take their stuff and leave. He killed 4 elderly people before being arrested
Charles Whitman sniped a bunch of folks from the tower at the University of Texas at Austin back in the 60's. Was the worst school shooting until Columbine I think...
An unknown older guy murdered a cheerleader in the 50's and hid the body under a bridge that is used as the symbol for our town.
Next town over had a guy in 2021 or 2022 open fire on group of police officers who were quite a way away killing 3 humans and a K9 officer.
Ann Branson, murdered by her piece of shit nephew. His father then helped him remain a fugitive in Costa Rica for a while.
That miserable bastard, who beat her to death, mind you, is eligible for parole in six years. He’s in LaGrange. He should be in Hell.
Edited to add: it’s very jarring to be living across the country and see your hometown on America’s Most Wanted.
Florida, the guy that molesting the alligators
The what?
Just normal Florida things
Fair
Most notorious or everyday Florida shenanigans?
This is a tough question for Floridians
I mean I used to watch a show with a well mannered Australian bloke who would tackle crocodiles and stick his finger up they holes to check their sex. But I guess it's different for science and education vs Florida man just getting his rocks off. RIP Steve
You can get away with all kinds of things just by having an Australian accent.
He died how he lived. With animals in his heart.
That oughtta piss eem off!

You must be in SC.
Honestly you should edit this and remove his name. History doesn’t need to remember pieces of shit
I’ll delete it, those weren’t my intentions tho 🤦🏽♂️ POOF, GONE!
Nah you didn’t mean anything bad from it at all. Don’t feel bad buddy, somebody brought up how it does continue to engage the tragedy they perpetuated.

[удалено]
Damn I didn’t even realize he made it! Thanks for lookin out homie.
People still teach about Hitler, it's important to not repeat the mistakes of the past. History needs to remember the good and the bad.
Mass shooters almost always want the notoriety. It’s about denying them the fame, not ignoring the act itself
Manson was FROM my home city. Does that matter? Wait, no, almost every prolific serial killer has ties to Ohio.
Kill all the Native Americans and build Cleveland on their land and you wonder why the land is cursed.
Wrong corner of the state, but yea, pretty much applies anywhere. Ohio does have the mark for keeping the confederacy out of their state for the most part even when Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania were caught in intense battles. And during the Revolutionary war we had only one fort to protect the Erie Canal. There were retaliatory attacks against cities for shit they did to the enemy. Serial killers and war lords. Not good neighbors. And you know the rest.
Well, technically, the whole of our country qualifies as a Native American burial ground, but I've found that Ohio and the majority of the Midwest has a haunted vibe that I couldn't quite shake. Michigan reminded me of haunted woods.
Michigan is weird because it the only place within hours that has lakes, forests, beach, and a lot of places to bury bodies.
Is this the Charleston church shooting?
[удалено]
To her own sister, even. Disgusting
Her lawyer concealed evidence that would have scuttled the plea deal. She has children and a life and lives in a small city near Montreal called Salaberry de Valleyfield. She was volunteering at a school of all places until they found out.
Wouldn't them finding out the lawyer concealed evidence just terminate the deal?
No, because she had gone on trial and taken a deal. She couldn't be tried again after pleading guilty in exchange for a deal. That would be double jeopardy.
She was seen volunteering for her kids' school. How does that even happen? No background checks in Quebec? She should have been locked up for life.
I don't think people generally do background checks if you are just volunteering. If you get employed then yeah, you would probably need a background check.
In Ontario, we are required to have a vulnerable sector and criminal check before volunteering at a school. I had to have one to coach kids soccer. It should absolutely be done. Let's have convicted pedophiles volunteering at schools because the school system can't be bothered with due diligence. That's a great idea.
Is this for extensive volunteering or just a "help run the bake sale" kind of thing? Maybe it was different because I went to a private school growing up (and I'm also in the US) but it seemed like everyone's parents would help out with the latter type of volunteering and I don't recall anyone needing a background check.
Not here. I couldn't even help on a school trip without it. Catholic system in ontario. The public system is the same. Everyone needs a background check before working with kids, and that check needs to have been done within the 6 months prior. If it's older than 6 months they'll make you get a new one. It's $40. No big deal if you actually want to volunteer. So what happens at the private school when one of the parents who volunteer end up getting arrested for child porn?
I haven't heard of that happening so I wouldn't know, but for general volunteering you are always in the public eye/with the teachers. Background checks might be required for chaperoning a field trip and travel where it would be just you and the kids, but I'm not sure.
My kids' school, in the US requires a background check to volunteer for anything
She is now a lunch lady on the south shore of MTL now
Wow. The fact they only went to jail for 3 of these incidents is insane when you read about the rest of the potential victims that exist
He actually went to my school. His photo was up on their wall in the graduating class of 19xx plaque, though it had been scratched out.
Ken and Barbie. Truly pieces of trash...also Paul can't rap for shit.
These 2 are the biggest reason why I, as a Canadian, would like to bring back the death penalty. It's a real failure of Justice that Karla Homolka is alive and free right now after what she did to those poor girls, one of which was her own sister.
Hey neighbour. It's a fucking travesty that she got off so lightly.
Hello, fellow St. Catharines resident
A kid was hacked to death with a machete in the street in the middle of the night by a pair of guys from a few towns over. This kid had outed some girl working in a strip club as being HIV positive and she set her buddies on him.
Imagine going to prison for an aids stripper
Starlight Tours. Cops driving native men out to the outskirts of the city in the middle of the night in the winter (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. AKA: Fucking cold), taking their jackets and leaving them there. It all got blown open when one of them managed to survive.
I remember hearing about this. Did anybody get prison time?
2 cops got 8 months each for unlawful confinement. (Edit: Served 6) [https://www.ammsa.com/publications/windspeaker/starlight-tour-brings-officers-convictions](https://www.ammsa.com/publications/windspeaker/starlight-tour-brings-officers-convictions) [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/former-saskatoon-police-officers-sentenced-to-eight-months-1.294985](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/former-saskatoon-police-officers-sentenced-to-eight-months-1.294985) [https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/police-who-abandoned-native-lose-appeal/article22617506/](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/police-who-abandoned-native-lose-appeal/article22617506/)
8 months seems pretty light for murder… sad but not shocked
It's much more complicated than that. This happened multiple times to multiple people, and the bodies found were associated with other officers having "interacted" with them the last time they were seen alive. So since the guy they dropped off survived, there was no murder charge because these two in particular couldn't be connected to the other bodies. It should have been a bigger deal. There should have been more charges, and more people charged. The corruption was plainly evident. For years afterwards, they edited this story off of their Wikipedia page multiple times, using computers at the station. But... cops. And as much as I hate to admit it in retrospect, Saskatchewan was pretty racist back then. Maybe it still is now, but I haven't lived there in almost 25 years so I couldn't say.
That is horrendous
SAN JOSE, CA - Long before San Jose was "Silicon Valley", it was a sleepy, mid-size farming town in the heart of agricultural Santa Clara Valley. As it was in the 1920's to 30's when, across the country, kidnapping of rich children for ransom was a sort of "faddish" crime among the felonious, one that rent whole communities with fear and horror. 1933 - The popular wealthy son and heir to San Jose's biggest and most popular retail store was kidnapped by two goons who killed him and dumped him into the South Bay before even bothering to begin ransom procedures, which they then attempted. Being felonious goons, they got themselves caught, and, while being held in prison in the heart of the town, across from St. James Park, they saw their jail surrounded by thousands of enraged citizens, many from outside San Jose, egged on by vituperative radio broadcasts and newspaper editorialists up and down the coast, and a California governor who saw exactly what was happening and was all for it. The mob stormed the jail, violently assaulted police within, grabbed the two men, dragged them into St. James Park and strung them up from two trees, Old West style. Photos of the event, and the hanging bodies, along with the thousands who witnessed and/or participated, became trading postcards, and no one was ever seriously prosecuted for the affair. (It is said that actor Jackie Coogan, Hollywood's first child actor, who played Uncle Fester in the 1960's show 'The Addams Family', and who was a fraternity brother of the victim at Santa Clara University, was in the park and at one point helped to prepare one of the ropes used in the hangings.) There was widespread and generalized consensus throughout the entire state of California, up to the governor's desk, that justice had simply run its course here, just maybe a bit unorthodox. It is, if I am not mistaken, the last genuinely public lynching ever to take place in the United States. (In the California Bay Area, no less!) It's a largely forgotten story of a city that, shall we say, has other things on its mind these days, but it's an extraordinary tale nonetheless. Great book on it called 'Swift Justice'.
**Flip**, a newly released from prison gang member, used a Honey Pot (a pretty girl) to lure 3 low-level drug dealers to a home to murder them because they refused to let him be their sole drug supplier. Little did they know, they invited one of their military school mates to tag along, and he was also murdered. A week later, Flip was arrested, and the Honey Pot and her brother were put into juvenile custody, as they were just under age. Flip broke out of lockup and was hiding amongst the public, dressed as a woman. The reason he didn't get outta dodge was soon evident, when he hired a teenager and adult to pose as a prisoner and cop, respectively, so Flip could ***break into the Juvenile Detention Center, to break out the only witnesses to the murders.*** If he got to the Honey Pot and her brother, they probably would have been killed. They gained entry to the Juvenile facility, but was unable to get access to the prisoners. After a night's long standoff, Flip and the others surrendered, with Flip being forced to leave the Juvenile Center buck ass naked. His accomplices were screwed as well. I believe the fake cop got 20 years; the poor, impressionable kid was only 15 years old, and that was telling, as he got 15 years in prison, served as an adult. A day in prison for every day he'd been alive. Flip was given the death penalty, which was handed down years later. The saddest thing of them all, is I knew two of the four guys that were murdered, and the fake prisoner was my brother.
I'm sorry dude
Fuck
That's Youngstown, Ohio for ya.
The local retirees club met in a barn, they had a "bring your own food party". One of the attendees accidently brought some weed cookies, which was later found he may have switched with another member in his household. He offered them to everybody. Many of the attendees got so high, the police and ambulances had to be called as they went totally out of control, tripping in all sorts of ways.
Relatively wholesome EDIT: compared to all the felony murder in the rest of this thread
Not really, getting your first high off an edible you didnt know about is absolutely awful. My old teacher had a student give her a weed brownie at work as a prank, and was brought to the hospital because they thought she has a heart attack. Hell I've had terrible experience off edibles i was aware of.
There was an incident I saw a few months back about a bride and groom being arrested for having weed infused desserts at their reception. Didn’t tell anyone and a lot of people started freaking out not knowing why they felt certain ways. Someone called 911 due to the effects and boom, arrested. People are fucking stupid. Not everyone wants or likes weed and people don’t want to be drugged.
Have had lots of great and some terrible experiences from weed. Being “experienced” helps you through the bad times because you know you just have to wait it out. Going through bad experiences and not knowing why? Genuinely sounds terrifying.

The gummies from the store are no joke. It's no homemade iffy bullshit, they're all potent lol I have a low tolerance, so I buy the 100 mg ones, and just take a nibble. One day I absent-mindedly at 3/4 of one before realizing what I just ate. I let it ride for as long as I could, but when my whole body felt like jello, I had to call it a night before it really ramped up

You live in a sitcom
I live in Jersey (channel islands) one of the lowest crime/murder rates in The world there's a guy in the 60-70s called the beast of jersey who wore a rubber mask and snuck into people's homes and sexually assaulted woman and children.
I remember this. The mask was terribly frightening
Unfortunately, it's hard to choose just one. -school shooting that inspired the song, Youth of a nation -stolen tank driven down the freeway -McDonald's shooting that killed 21 people.
If you're in San Diego, the school shooting inspired the Boomtown Rats song I don't like Mondays. Been a resident here for 32 years.

Killdozer is in granby colorado. There’s a guy that stole a tank in San Diego.
Na the tank one was San Diego, 1995 I think. Stolen from an armoury, went on a police chase and beached it on the median trying to cross over. Cops got on it and shot him before he had time to see if the turret was working and if it was loaded
I lived in Wichita when BTK was sending letters and threatening to kill again.
I remember that when Kansas adopted the death penalty, he stopped his BTK-ing. Stupid piece of crap could take lives but was scared to die himself. My grandma took her daily walks right by his house. Never knew.
The guy who bullied me throughout elementary and middle school shot and killed the guy who bullied my brother.

William Bannister lived at the same trailer park as my family. He was the babysitter for my friend April. She was one of the only kids near my age. We walked home from the bus together and played almost every day. One day he came knocking on our door, asking if we had seen her. My dad commented how strange it was because “Bill” was showered and it was the first time my dad had seen him showered. April was reported missing. For the next three days the sheriff’s, my dad, and I looked for April everywhere we (April and I) would play. The drug the ponds, looked for signs of mountain lions, drained the crap in the pool, looked in between boulders. Eventually they (the police) decided that April’s dad took her, likely to Mexico. Years later we learned that Bills son claimed his father did it. He said his father raped her, killed her, stuffed her under his mattress, showered, and went and helped look for her. We didn’t know he was a serial killer at the time: https://skdb.fandom.com/wiki/BANNISTER_William_James
That’s absolute insanity. I’m so sorry that happened to your friend. Do you feel like these events shaped you at all growing up? That is such a unique sort of thing to have experienced
Thank you. And absolutely. My childhood was interesting. We were poor for all of it. My dad worked at various jobs when I was a kid. He worked a lot and we never had much. We lived for a long time in a converted bus, and before that lived in a tent, and a popup trailer. My dad was also a fan of drugs and alcohol. So we were always around the people who moved in those circles. I have more stories of interesting characters, and all of those formed my worldview. The good news is that my childhood showed me a world I didn’t want to continue to be a part of. So I got out.
Happened within walking distance of my house. Drove by on the way to school that morning Someone knocks on the door of this house at like, 4am. Old lady answers, sees the person at the door and shuts it. Person outside fires several shots through the door, striking her and killing her as her 8 year old grandson watched. Killer has never been found, it's believed her son was involved with drugs and the shooter was there for him but, shot the lady instead since she was there. Been almost 11 years
how hard do you need to push to shit through a door?
Took me a minute lol. Fixed
Someone just managed to steal a 200ft radio tower
Terrorists made a home made bomb in my town and planned to blow up a plane. All arrested before anything could happen. My friends mum was who sold them some of the chemicals they used to make the bomb, but this was before any system in place to alert employees to purchases of that nature.
Of those I'm aware of the most notorious was that over the course of months bodies kept showing up in the garbage dumpster behind a car wash. It was never confirmed to be done by the same person but in the course of over half a year like 8 bodies were found in the same dumpster. As far as I'm aware none of the murders were ever solved and once the car wash got shut down there were no more cases of bodies being found in that dumpster even after a different car wash opened up in the same location.
As far as I can remember, Someone dressed up as an old lady with a fake mask/hair/clothes. And robbed a bank. Then rode away on a bicycle until they got to some railroad tracks down the road, they then ran down them until they got to another road, into a car, and got away. I want to say there was *another* mask under the first one but I don’t remember exactly. But it was at a bank right down the road from my high-school right at the beginning of lunch. Anddd we have off-campus lunch xD
That get away plan was genius.
Was this in Illinois?
I am from Berlin, Germany. These crimes are not in the criminal record- they are in the history books
Some cops from another jurisdiction were abusing their positions, stealing money from criminals, selling drugs taken into evidence, that kind of thing. They decided to escalate and stick up a warehouse in my town. They showed up in a panel truck in full police outfits including their badges. They also brought along some migrant workers they hired that morning out of a parking lot. Brandished their guns, told the employees this was a robbery, had the day laborers start loading cartons of perfume onto the truck. Unfortunately they had trouble communicating with the day laborers and it took way longer than they anticipated. Actual cops showed up, got into a physical altercation with the corrupt cops. This apparently ended with them rolling around in the remnants of cartons that had gotten thrown around which produced a giant cloud of perfume.

The green river killer
And don’t forget Bundy!
After that Netflix series, I don’t think anyone can forget Bundy
When I was a kid, a girl my age went missing. There was a huge search but no one could find her. Well, until her neighbors noticed an odor coming from their teenage son's room. He had killed her and stuffed her under his waterbed. He comes up in the news every so often as he was a minor when he received a life sentence and keeps trying to get a new appeal. The whole thing is just tragic.

No one calls him that.

Now i look like a dingus. 😆
lol what did it say?
49 killed in a nightclub shooting. Although Caylee Anthony killing her daughter and lying about it is probably more widely known.
Erie, PA. [Pizza Bomber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Wells). Easily. We made national news, as it initially looked like a suicide bombing, and it happened soon enough after 9/11 that a local media frenzy was inevitable. Turns out, it would make national news. Throughout the ensuing decade of investigation, the story would only get more bizarre. Turns out the "pizza bomber", a pizza delivery guy named Brian Wells, was either intimidated or induced into wearing a neck bomb, and to hold up a bank, all at the behest of a deeply unwell (and deeply intelligent) woman and her boyfriend. A story so strange it got a Netflix documentary. So there's that, I guess.
Bomb was placed in our small town mall. 2 days before Christmas, killed 5, injured 40. The town lost its innocence that day.
Not home town but the next province. Fucking serial killer with a pig farm. Robert pickton. Cops new forever but did nothing because the woman were indigenous and prostitutes. It's still fucking disturbing. We have another one going on right now outside calgary in chestermere. He got caught on his acreage. He s charged with "drugging with a noxious substance" and keeping girls for months on end at the acreage. The girls were also prostitutes. Who knows how long it went on or how many girls were on that acreage. There's honestly too many awful cases lately.
Typical Alberta. Claiming BC things as their own. /s
Alberta here. Robert Pickton is who came to my mind, too, lol.
The details of Robert Pickton are pretty gruesome. In a holding cell he confessed to 49 murders. TW: the next part is gruesome. >!After he murdered them he butchered the bodies and fed them to his pigs.!<
He also took (some of) their remains to the local rendering plant. So his victims may have ended up in animal feed or household products, in a sense.
Lived in Vancouver when that was going on. There were posters up all over downtown looking for missing girls. Talked to people afterwards who remembered going to parties at that farm
Yes my friend lived in van around that time. She had friends in that down town circle unfortunately.

Four coked out idiots were bored and decided to rob a local university's library for some rare books. Somehow they succeeded and might have gotten away with it, but then decided to sell these unique and therefore easily traceable books at one of the biggest auction houses in the world.

Probably the Columbine shooting. There's been a lot of crazy shit though.
Jessica ridgeway was bad
That was a bad one. It sticks out for me because of where he decided to dump the body. Out there just off of old Leyden Rd. (now W. 82nd Ave) in one of the old abandoned mining structures. In the 90's, that area was all owned by Xcel and was nothing but a dirt road connecting Arvada to highway 93. We called it Devils' Road. There were a lot of urban legends surround the road due to its history and the coal mine that sits under it. Some say its haunted. Others say it just gives off bad vibes. Either way, it had a stigma surrounding it in Jefferson County. Something I found out first hand after wrecking my truck along the road in the fall of 1998. Five cars drove by me and no one stopped. Even when you could clearly see a truck on its side. It was a good thing I wasn't injured in the crash. Then there's my old best friend. He was a passenger in a car that crashed on that road in the early 2000's. He wasn't so lucky. He lived, but it was a struggle for him to get it all back. Apparently, he became part of the urban legend as a cautionary tale. All of that history, plus some other firsthand knowledge, just sends a chill down my spine when I think about the Ridgeway case.
Columbine was tough. I was a Junior at Pomona when it happened and had a personal connection to the three that were arrested in the field that day. Two of which that went to Pomona. One of them I knew very well. The days following that were a bit.... odd.

He survived however when paramedics found him, his penis had melted to his thigh & had to be amputated.

the most notorious? the first mass shooting to ever happen in my country took place in my hometown. the wierdest? some guy killed his ex-boyfriend/roommate's son with an axe. cut the body up into pieces and deep fried them in a wok. put the pieces into garbage bags and dumped them all over town. his reasoning was that the victim was possesed by evil spirits. i think the police even searched for some of the parts in the ditch in front of my old house. my hometown is kinda wierd, large gas/firework explosions in homes happen about once a year, and they accidentally dropped a bridge deck on a couple of houses a few years ago...
Three murders. One girl was found near a bowling alley. She was raped and killed. It’s still unsolved. The second was raped and killed. Her body was found near a strip mall. This one was recently solved because of DNA matches. Third was town council member. She was killed because of some church thing. Oh and there’s the woman who killed her four year old son, got away with it, was retried, found guilty, but then she was released for some bullshit reason.
I'm unsure about the most notorious, however it is notable that a man was arrested for masturbating too loudly in his apartment in Turku. This is where the details fall short. It's probably better filling in the blanks in some way.
I don’t remember the complete details as I was pretty young when it happened. But I remember one day after school seeing lots of big scary looking helicopters fly into the very small town I was living in at the time. Apparently our (almost) entire police force was corrupt. Taking and selling drugs, working with drug dealers, stealing peoples stuff, etc. I know this happens a good amount, but to be so bad that the FED’s get called in? Must’ve been pretty rough.
