    • cdel07Today on May 2nd, 2025, 2:01 pmThanks a ton! In reality, most contemporary historians believe it's more likely that she DIDN'T kill her parents, and the negative tales about her that surfaced during the trial were mostly due to either fear or envy that she was a single woman who was about to inherit a vast estate....
  • clumsyflower47Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 10:42 amOne of the most off-putting phrases in this article: "for-profit juvenile detention centers"
    • casualpizza23Today on May 2nd, 2025, 7:10 pmA system that rewards imprisoning children is basically a system that doesn't care about human nature. Incarcerating children is never a solution, regardless of why. And let me tell you, locking up kids isn't going to make anything better for anyone, not even for the kids.....
    • clumsyflower47Today on May 3rd, 2025, 12:53 am@cornyorc741 I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Every human being is susceptible to greed and corruption. So a system where the objective is sending children to prison still has a place in a world filled with people, doesn't it?
  • LuxaciousYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 9:10 amFact #20: Eben Byers wound up being buried in a lead vault in the same manner as Marie Curie, as his corpse was excessively radioactive, making it unsafe not to....
    • annikakremerHeck, just a few hours ago on May 4th, 2025, 10:59 pmWhat makes his story even more out of this world is that his death was the sole reason doctors finally paid attention to the loads of women who were falling terribly ill from Radium paint they were exposed to at factories. It took him—a rich man—to die first for their health issues to finally be taken seriously....
  • fancyshield231Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 1:58 pm...I don't think I can accept that. If you've observed recently deceased bodies, the facial muscles slacken and the mouth opens, sometimes requiring embalmers to sew it shut....
  • rcr311Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 2:52 pmComment #9, man, seriously downplayed what happened. The pilot permitted both of his children to sit on the pilot's seat and play with the controls, while the autopilot was activated. He just didn't think to consider that when a child holds a control for at least 30 seconds, the autopilot shuts off. As a result, a child, unaware of how to operate the plane, lost control, causing chaos in the cockpit....
    • msslhenryYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 5:13 pm@cornyorc741 I've been flipping through the story's transcript for the last two days. He practically let his children toy with buttons like they were at Chuck E. Cheese.
    • torbielilliesA few hours ago on May 4th, 2025, 9:39 pmAt the very least, calling it an "innocent accident" covers up a lot of the pilot's negligence and ill-advised decisions that led to the plane crashing....
  • amandac4b39f8d18Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 5:49 pmComment #26 has some terrifying details. There's also the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment in Alabama, which ran from 1932 to 1972. Over 600 Black men were recruited, being told it was all for the purpose of finding out what "bad blood" was. These gentlemen had no clue they had syphilis, and were never treated, as the doctors wanted to witness the progression of the disease firsthand. The experiment was only halted when a journalist discovered the information and exposed it....

  • dizziestbitchYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 6:17 pmI can't confidently confirm it falls under the "creepy" category, but the tragic tale of Omayra Sanchez still troubles my mind. In 1985, Colombia was rocked by a volcano eruption, which buried countless towns and claimed many lives. Omayra was a 13-year-old girl who was trapped under the debris because it had her pinned in a kneeling position. Her dead aunt's arms were also wrapped around her neck, hindering her escape. Unfortunately, rescue teams lacked the necessary equipment to free her and, tragically, she passed away after 60 hours, largely due to gangrene....
    • uniquebunny75Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 10:10 pm@cornywitch736 I believe they meant Comment #37 (not 36)....
  • msslhenryYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 5:11 pmSpecial mention to Comment #23. The media continually portrays Carl Tanzler as a hopeless romantic, but to me, he was a grave robber and rapist. They don't seem keen on adding that perspective into the narrative....
  • casualgoblin56Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 4:09 pmComment #21 holds a special significance for me. It actually took place in the small town I attended high school in. I even had a schoolmate who was the son of one of the judges involved in that corruption. Frankly, I hope his son inherited some of his father's decency, at least....
    • casualpizza23Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 7:12 pm@casualgoblin56 My deepest condolences for your father. His mistreatment at the hands of the law enforcement system was inhumane and unjust....

  • ultraviolet4910Edited Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 2:19 pmComment #37 raises a lot of questions: How could a human body possibly function like that?
    • cornywitch736Yesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 1:42 pm@keepintabs I think they meant Comment #37, sorry....
  • SixthtryatadamnusernameYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 11:12 pmI still remember when Cara Knott vanished, and I frequently traveled the highway where she was last seen. Even now, I commute across the street from the gas station she stopped at the night she disappeared. During my first year in high school, my car broke down on the same freeway and was nearly stranded before a highway patrol officer kindly offered assistance, but I was too afraid to accept....
  • thehallouminatiToday on May 3rd, 2025, 11:18 amInvestigations surrounding the Asha Degree case are practically complete; they've found her DNA, and numerous text messages from her family have been subpoenaed, which suggest guilt. An arrest is imminent. As for the Brian Shaffer case, it's mostly a myth. Although what took place that fateful night remains uncertain, there were multiple exit doors in the Ugly Tuna that didn't make it onto CCTV footage, making it relatively simple for him to leave unnoticed....
  • PetsYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 11:56 amFor Comment #3, they should have said precede instead of proceed....
  • IamordolarYesterday on May 2nd, 2025, 11:29 pmSome insist that Lizzie Borden and her maid were secret lovers, and her stepmother had caught them together at least once, which might have been the catalyst for Mr. Borden's tragic beheading and the following investigation. It's also worth noting that inheriting such a vast estate and becoming a socialite in a thriving city didn't hurt her public image, becoming the next New York City....
  • junitreeToday on May 4th, 2025, 10:42 pmDoes anyone recall the 1985 Tokyo Hinterkaifeck murders, possibly involving the Miura family? And is anyone able to recollect the name of the Frenchman who imitated the Polish soldier's actions from the war and supposedly consumed a child?...

Historical Human Rights Violations

The world has continuously witnessed egregious misuses of power and the infringement of human rights throughout history. Below, we delve into ten significant examples that highlight the necessity for vigilance and hold perpetrators accountable:

1. The Holocaust (1933-1945)

Nazi Germany implemented a systematic persecution and extermination of six million Jews, in addition to millions of others regarded as undesirable. The Holocaust unfolded as a deliberate and state-sponsored genocide, underscoring the catastrophic consequences of unchecked power and ideology.

2. The Chinese Occupation of Tibet (1950s-1960s & Ongoing)

Following China's invasion of Tibet, widespread human rights abuses and allegations of physical genocide were reported. It is estimated that over a million Tibetans were killed, with torture and starvation being common practices. The 14th Dalai Lama has been a prominent advocate for Tibet's struggle for autonomy and human rights.

3. The Guatemalan Genocide (1960-1996)

During Guatemala's civil war, the military orchestrated acts of genocide, particularly against indigenous Maya communities. Tens of thousands of people were massacred, subjected to forced disappearances, and endured other forms of human rights abuses.

4. The Rwandan Genocide (1994)

In a span of just 100 days, over 800,000 people, primarily from the Tutsi ethnic group, were viciously murdered in Rwanda, at the hands of the Hutu majority. The international community's failure to adequately intervene has been widely denounced as a grave example of human rights negligence.

5. The Soviet Union's Gulag System (1930s-1950s)

The USSR's network of forced labor camps, known as the Gulag, was infamous for its inhumane conditions, mass executions, and arbitrary detentions. Millions of people were imprisoned, many of whom perished from harsh conditions and mistreatment.

6. The Khmer Rouge's Reign of Terror (1975-1979)

In Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge enforced a brutal regime, which led to the deaths of an estimated 1.7 to 2.2 million people, of a population of roughly 8 million. The directives of the regime were aimed at creating a self-sufficient agrarian society, resulting in one of the most horrific human rights violations in history.

7. The United States' Use of Torture and Detention (Post-9/11)

Following the September 11 attacks, the U.S. government resorted to controversial practices such as extraordinary rendition and torture at locations like Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. These actions were widely criticized as violations of human rights and international law.

8. The Argentine Dirty War (1976-1983)

Under the military dictatorship in Argentina, tens of thousands of people were forcibly disappeared, tortured, and killed. The regime's assassination of political opponents and dissidents remains a dark chapter in Argentine history.

9. The Japanese Internment Camps (1942-1945)

During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were interned without due process, due to national security concerns. This mass detention has been recognized as a grave abuse of human rights and a violation of civil liberties.

10. The Chilean Dictatorship (1973-1990)

Augusto Pinochet's reign in Chile was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including torture, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings. The regime's actions represented a systemic repression and violence against political opponents and dissidents.

These instances demonstrate the prevalence of human rights violations across diverse regions and time periods, emphasizing the importance of upholding vigilance and accountability to prevent such atrocities from occurring.
