'Tis The Season (For Murder)

Words fail us often enough, but this ...
A man has been arrested for allegedly setting a homeless woman on fire as she slept on a bus bench outside a Van Nuys drugstore.

The victim, a 67-year-old woman who was often seen outside the Walgreens at Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way, was lying on a bus bench at around 1 a.m. Thursday when the crime took place, according to a live report on KTLA.
Our emphasis:
The suspect, a man in his 20s, allegedly went inside the store and purchased an accelerant that he then poured onto the sleeping woman before tossing a lit match on her body, reports City News Service. A witness who saw the suspect exit the store and set the woman on fire called 911 to report the crime, then followed the suspect until authorities arrived on scene. The unidentified suspect was then taken into custody by officers with the Los Angeles Police Department. The victim is hospitalized in critical condition; should she not survive, the suspect's charge will be elevated to reflect his alleged role in her death.

It's a damn shame the bonobos didn't take over the world instead of us.

The thing about people is that they often get a certain kind of sexual pleasure from the suffering of others, and they often seek some kind of power that gives them a place they believe they can occupy above some class of 'others'.

But to be honest, that's why it doesn't always wreck someone when he goes to a place where his job is to kill people. People have an immense capacity for evil and destruction, and it's very often hard to make the case that killing people is more evil than the the people who are being killed...

Jesus. It's the planning and execution that's chilling. How do you just say, "Hey, I think I'll go into that Walgreens and...." ?

Hate to think of what this fuck did to animals (isn't that where all these psychopaths learn their chops?).

I am no HTML expert but my guess would be the '&freewheel=69016' part.
You can try changing 'freewheel' to 'static' (or some such (fucking 'code')) or deleting it.
The number may refer to a length. You can try changing it to 0.

Nope, no luck w/ any of those. Our research indicates it may not be in the html at all. NDN can go fuck itself.

Not sure bonobos are that much better than we are. They just don't have fire yet.

Even if they had fire we're way more vicious than bonobos would ever be.
