(Mods: I tried doing a search for titles like "Scary", "Scary News" [etc], but couldn't find a suitable thread for this topic. [e.g. these, three threads weren't quite what I was looking for]. However, if I'm wrong and there's already an appropriate thread, please feel free to moderate this post accordingly.)
OK, so this is the thread where you can post news/info which scares the crap out of you. News and information which people should probably know, but may not want to know. Real stuff which makes you want to "fight or flight".
e.g. My friend sent me the following link in an Email the other day and it sent shivers wriggling down my feeble spine: Mobile Execution Units or "Death Vans" have been used in China since 2004.
It was these lines which really got to me:
'The switch from gunshots to injections is a sign that China "promotes human rights now," says Kang Zhongwen, who designed the Jinguan Automobile death vans ... '
and,
China's critics contend that the transition from firing squads to injections in death vans facilitates an illegal trade in prisoners' organs ... "
I mean, the thing looks like a modern mini-bus, for shit's sake, and just imagine the horror of its potential uses. e.g. political snatch and execution squads, genocide of the homeless, etc.
*Shiver* |
