      <title>Muslim in Ukraine Fires Into the Air, Passing Soldier Takes Him On</title>

      <description>Video from Dnepropetrovsk in Ukraine - yes, the same Dnepropetrovsk made infamous by the        3 Guys 1 Hammer video(&amp;lt;---- warning nasty shit)
 shows a Muslim man from an unspecified part of Russia's Northern 
Caucasus (Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia or somewhere around there - no 
accurate info on that) kneeling down in the middle of European Square in
 downtown Dnepropetrovsk to pray. It looked stupid and inappropriate, 
but up to this point everybody continued to mind their own business and 
went about their day unhindered.
But then, the Muslim pulled out a handgun and fired a shot into the 
air, scaring passersby who were busy doing their evening shopping in the
 area. The shot even scared the cameraman who filmed the whole standoff 
from a window on the opposite side of the square. After the shot, the 
shooter put down his weapon and started to take his clothes off. At that
 point, as most people tried increase the distance between them and the 
shooter, a random Ukrainian soldier who was passing by, put down his bag
 and approached the shooter, clearly telling him something in the manner
 of:
What the fuck are you firing guns in the middle of the square in my city for you piece of shit?


To that, the shooter responded by shoving the soldier and that was 
all the soldier needed. He took off his hat and took the shitstain 
Islamist on. Soon after, several other young Ukrainians joined in and 
one of them quickly pacified the shooter by hitting him over the head 
with a bottle that smashed and spilled the beverage inside. A few 
minutes later, a policeman was directed to the scene and arrested the shooter.

      <title>&lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Dnepropetrovsk&lt;/span&gt; Maniacs Courtroom Video</title>

      <description>Shows the maniacs going to their murder victims funerals and taking pictures, truly disturbing.

In Ukraine, three young men who went on a month-long killing spree have been charged with murdering 21 people. The violent attacks plunged the eastern city of Dnepropetrovsk into a vortex of fear in the summer of 2007. The three, who are now 20 years old, were teenagers at the time they allegedly battered their victims with hammers and pipes.
 
Rumours of a maniac killing both young and old paralysed Dnepropetrovsk, one of the largest cities in Ukraine. Police, however, linked the reign of terror to a group of teenagers.

They're not revealing how they caught them but, with mobile phone footage of some of the murders, officers have little doubt of the identity of the criminals.

&quot;We think they were doing it as a hobby, to have a collection of memories when they get old,&quot; said Detective Bogdan Vlasenko.
 
The former classmates have been behind bars for almost a year now and it's believed they've pleaded guilty to all the murders.

They are thought to have used iron pipes and hammers on their victims. Mobile phone footage also suggests they practised on cats first.

They all come from prosperous families and have allegedly admitted they committed the crimes just for fun.

Detectives say they the killers weren't targeting anyone in particular. They just picked up people who looked like they wouldn't fight back.

&quot;You see, no one would fear for their life when these boys were offering them a ride,&quot; said Ivan Stypak, Chief Police Officer of the Dnepropetrovsk region.

However, the parents of the suspects refuse to believe their children could be killers. They insist their children were forced to confess their guilt.







Translation of murder video

 &quot;Hold on, hold on....Be neater, fuck!&quot; - probably saying that to watch out for the blood.

*Laughing*

 &quot;Hold on, hold on, hold on, don't hit him, don't hit him.....Watch him *the rest is muffled*&quot; - Psycho fuck is probably telling him to watch how he is bleeding as he zooms in the camera to his face. - Camera man

The next part has very bad audio and is very muffled by cans and such. I can make out one or two words but not enough to make out a coherent sentence.

 
&quot;What?.....With what?&quot; - As he responds to the guy who stabs him

&quot;What, he's still alive?!?&quot; - The guy stabbing him exclaims

The response of the camera man I can't make out perfectly because he's speaking very fast and again the quality isn't the best but I believe he says something along the lines of:

&quot;He's still moving his arms after I ripped up his intestines&quot;

The stabber says something along the lines of &quot;He's having a fucked up day&quot; as he steps on his stomach.

 

&quot;Get over here fast.....Kill him already.&quot;

&quot;What?&quot; - Stabber

&quot;Kill him already.&quot;

He says something about his hammer which I believe to be &quot;I already put the hammer back,&quot; followed by &quot;He's already dead.&quot; - Stabber

&quot;He's not dead and I already poked out his eyes&quot; - Camera man

*Note: There are mainly two of saying the word &quot;dead&quot; in Russian, they're using a term that is phonetically written as &quot;zdoh,&quot; which is a way of saying &quot;dead&quot; when talking about animals and things lower life value, such as criminals, if that makes sense*

&quot;Get the knife&quot; - Camera man

*Proceeds to bludgeon him then interrupts by saying something I can't make out*

&quot;More more&quot; - Camera man telling him to keep bludgeoning him to make sure he's dead, and not so much for pleasure any more.

&quot;Hold on, hold on&quot; - Camera man

*They start walking back to the car*

More muffled talk from the blond haired piece of shit

&quot;Wash your hands&quot; - Camera Man

Camera man begins telling him something that I can't make out clearly for some reason but I believe he says &quot;Spray the *name of the chemical*&quot; followed by &quot;I'll hold it,&quot; as they started to clean the hammer.

*Muffled talk from the guy washing the hammer*

*More muffled talk from the guy washing his face and walking back from his car*

&quot;I stuck the screwdriver in his brain&quot; - Says the camera man

*Muffled talk from the guy washing his hands*

&quot;I got him in the nose from his eye&quot; - Says the camera man *I'm not exactly sure on this one, but I know he says something along the lines of that.

&quot;I don't understand, how was he alive? I felt his brain&quot; - Says the camera man

&quot;I was holding the screw driver like this *muffled/don't understand*&quot; - Camera man

Before the video ends the blond piece of scum says something like &quot;Alright, let's get a picture&quot;</description>

      <description>13 October 2007: Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.
At least nine people have been killed and 21 others injured after a powerful gas explosion caused part of a residential building to collapse in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk. Rescue teams are continuing to work at the scene. Several people have been pulled alive from the rubble. 
The explosion happened in a nine-storey building at about 11am local time.  

The city's gas supply service says the explosion was caused by a pressure surge. Gas supplies in the area have been cut as a safety precaution.
There are still people trapped under the rubble,
their relatives are looking on 
Emergency workers say efforts to dig out people still trapped under the rubble are likely to continue throughout the night.

Reporter Vlada Khmelnitskaya from the &amp;#8216;Inter Television&amp;#8217; TV company says dozens of distraught relatives are looking on, praying their missing loved ones will be pulled from the debris alive. She says many of them are crying.

The Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry says that there is still hope of finding people alive.

It is still unclear how many people were inside the building when it was ripped apart by the explosion. Lists of residents and possible visitors are being compiled.  

A criminal case into the incident has been launched.

The Ukrainian president has called on the prime minister to find out what caused the explosion and for the Government to provide all necessary aid to families of the victims. 

Dnepropetrovsk, in the eastern half of the country, is Ukraine's third largest city.</description>

      <description>Snuff: Murder and torture on the internet, and the people who watch it
  
    
      By  Lessley Anderson 
    
    on June  13, 2012 01:41 pm
    
          
          Most people had never heard of Luka Magnotta... until a 
severed human hand and foot were mailed to Canadian government 
officials. But by the time the 29-year old alleged killer was arrested 
in an Internet caf'e in Germany less than a week later on June 4th, his 
name and back-story were infamous. Magnotta had apparently made a video 
of himself killing, dismembering, and eating his victim. The video had 
circulated online, leading to Magnotta's identification as the suspect, 
an international manhunt, and ultimately, the mainstream celebrity he'd 
always craved.

Snuff films were supposed to be an urban legend. And yet, it turns 
out, now they're real. Thanks to the Internet, peoples' ability to film 
and distribute murder to a mass audience has never been easier.

The audience congregates on gore sites (also known as shock sites) 
like BestGore.com, GoreGrish.com, and TheYNC.com.  The members of these 
sites, which are hosted in Canada and the US, respectively, scour the 
Internet for videos of true-life killings, maiming, torture, and abuse, 
and post them for millions of fellow gore seekers.  

Considering the states of unrest in places like Syria, Mexico, and 
the former Soviet Union, the sites and their users have a lot to choose 
from. You'll find entire topics devoted just to Mexican drug cartel 
beheadings, for example, and surprisingly intimate footage taken from 
dashboards with camera phones, that make you feel as if you're right 
there in the car with the Zetas as they're gunning down rivals.

But amidst the videos of accidents, drug violence, bombings and 
executions, an occasional video of private citizens killing other 
private citizens for kicks pops up. So when the Magnotta video debuted, 
most gore site users were less shocked than you might think. After all, 
they'd been following his career all along.

 Warning: the referenced sites, videos, and links contain graphic content of torture, gore, and violence. Surf at your own peril. 



I would have preferred more gurgling
 &quot;I think the biggest shock was that we had witnessed it before the media got ahold of it.&quot; 




Like anything that blows up on the Internet, it started with cat 
videos. Niki (she asked us not to use her full name) is a UK-based 
administrator at GoreGrish.com, a volunteer-run website hosted in the 
US. In December of 2011, one of GoreGrish.com's members posted a video 
of Luka Magnotta suffocating two kittens with a vacuum and a plastic 
bag, while John Lennon's &quot;Happy Christmas (War is Over)&quot; played in the 
background. The video had also been on other top gore sites, and was 
causing a stir.
Many users will calmly watch human beings getting their heads chopped
 off, but draw the line at cuddly, cute animals being hurt. &quot;His animal 
torture videos became notorious throughout gore websites,&quot; says Niki. 
&quot;His name was definitely known.&quot;
Gorehounds began digging up dirt on Magnotta and  posting it online .
 (It wasn't hard to find: Magnotta was an avid blogger and 
self-promoter.)  They made fun of his pitted skin. His receding 
hairline. His failed career in porn and prostitution due to, they said, 
the size of his penis. Magnotta followed up with a video of himself 
feeding a kitten to a python.
The video of Magnotta apparently killing what authorities now believe
 was Chinese student Jun Lin to the soundtrack of New Order's &quot;True 
Faith,&quot; was available online roughly 5 days before authorities became 
aware of him. Entitled  1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick , It was emailed by 
an unidentified person to TheYnc.com and BestGore.com, and reblogged by 
GoreGrish.com. Most viewers of the video, judging from their comments, 
were somewhat shocked, but mostly detached.
&quot;There are speculations that  1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick  may be an 
actual snuff film - produced by some crazy psycho who was paid to murder
 a person and film it on camera,&quot; BestGore.com website operator, Mark 
Marek, wrote in an intro to the video. &quot;Though as with everything that 
starts going viral on the internet, the chances of the reality being 
blown out of proportions   are quite substantial.&quot;
Over
 on TheYNC.com, most members seemed to believe the video depicted a real
 murder, but few could agree on whether New Order had been a good band 
or not. Many wished there had been more &quot;gurgling&quot; or otherwise eerie 
sound effects. The fact that most of the video's action takes place with
 an already dead corpse was a big point of contention.
And then somebody from BestGore.com thought to call the authorities, 
and suddenly the Luka Magnotta video stopped being an abstraction.
&quot;I think the biggest shock was that we had witnessed it before the 
media got ahold of it,&quot; said Niki of GoreGrish.com. &quot;And, it was like: 
'Ah shit! This is big.'&quot;
 Anybody's who's ever rubbernecked at an accident knows it's human nature to want to see gore 






What's really going on out there

Anybody's who's ever rubbernecked at an accident (which is to say 
everybody) knows it's human nature to want to see gore. It's not morally
 justifiable to gawk at human suffering, and most people don't indulge 
in their curiosity. But a lot of people do.
One of the earliest web sites, still alive today, was a shock site 
called Rotten.com. Created in 1996, it's mostly links to still images of
 things like weird medical conditions and horrible accidents involving 
meat grinders.
It wasn't until the mid 2000s that shock sites really came into their
 own, dovetailing with widespread Internet access, even in the third 
world, and the speeding up of peoples' connections, so they could easily
 watch video online. Ogrish.com is the granddaddy of them all. Starting 
in the early 2000s, the site published timely images and video, like 
jumpers at the World Trade Center and gruesome political executions in 
Russia. A tight and passionate forum developed among the site's users.
&quot;When I lived in the UK from around 2007-2010 we had quite a tight 
knit community with several other UK members, meeting up for camping and
 paintball. I even shared a house with a few other members for a while&quot; 
remembers former Ogrish member, Joanne* (names noted with * indicate 
that the person's real name has been changed).
But perhaps due in part to conflicts with international censors, 
Ogrish abandoned gore. In 2006, the site split in two; its gore forums 
live on as OgrishForum, though they're now mostly inactive, and the rest
 of the site became the more mainstream video news site, LiveLeak.com. 
(LiveLeak.com did not respond to an interview request.)
Sites like GoreGrish.com, comprised of many former Ogrish members, 
sprung up to fill the void. It, too, has an active forum and chummy 
community aspect. Niki likes to point out that the site's moderators are
 available 24/7 to Skype or email with anybody who is disturbed by what 
they see, and just want to talk about it.




 &quot;We live in the developed world, and we don't have exposure to how people actually treat each other.&quot; 











The image of the typical gore site user, a misanthrope in a basement, isn't entirely accurate.


Certainly those people exist. Mark Marek, the webmaster of 
BestGore.com describes humans in his writing as &quot;fleshy viruses,&quot; and 
does not own a phone. And there are certainly the gore fetishists. New Zealand Artist Jon (E)vil reproduces scenes from his favorite gore videos in razor blade scars on his own body.
But many gore site users keep their hobby on the downlow: they have 
professional jobs, families, social skills. GoreGrish.com's Niki has a 
job in the medical field in the UK (she declined to be more specific) 
and originally sought out gore sites so she would &quot;not be shocked&quot; by 
anything she was likely to see at work.
SAF*, a soft-spoken 30-year old from Massachusetts, downloaded 1 
Lunatic 1 Icepick while setting the table for dinner for his wife and 
two young children. He's a volunteer moderator at GoreGrish.com, 
monitoring site activity and staying in touch over IRC during the day at
 his job as a building materials salesman. Although his wife knows about
 and accepts his hobby, his coworkers have no idea what he's up to.
&quot;The people I work with are old blood. They have ties to the Pilgrims,&quot; says SAF. &quot;They're conservative.&quot;


Ultimately, what they all seem to share is a compulsive curiosity 
about human nature and frailty, and a firm belief that the mainstream 
media does a disservice by censoring &quot;what's really going on.&quot;
&quot;We live in the developed world, and we don't have exposure to how 
people actually treat each other,&quot; says Kingfate*, a 20-year-old 
Midwestern GoreGrish.com member. &quot;  keep us rooted in 
reality.&quot;
&quot;Posting these videos doesn't mean that we condone them,&quot; says Niki. 
&quot;We're just giving people a means to see what's going on. When you hear a
 bomb has gone off in Moscow, we try to find those images and put them 
up for people who want to see. And why should we not see it?&quot;







Is it legal?



All the big gore sites have age restrictions, warnings about graphic 
material, and stringent policies against child pornography and 
bestiality. There are taboos that still exist even in the gore world.
But unlike mainstream video upload sites YouTube and Vimeo, both of 
which do not allow videos of violence, porn, or illegal activity, gore 
sites see themselves as an unvarnished reflection of life's seedy 
underbelly. Which is perfectly legal.
It's illegal to murder somebody. It's illegal to watch somebody get 
murdered and not report it. But it's not illegal to watch an online 
snuff film. At least not at the moment.
In the US, websites are protected from liability by Section 230 of 
the Communications Decency Act if they're posting user generated 
content. So, in effect, if they are just showing something created by 
somebody else, they're not doing anything illegal. Even if that 
something is a murder.
 There are taboos that still exist even in the gore world That said, blanket immunity as it exists now is politically unstable.


James Grimmelmann, a professor at New York Law School, points to the 
case of Craigslist, which was pressured by state law enforcement and 
advocacy groups to abandon its adult services ads 2010.
&quot;I think Craigslist had a rock solid case, but after taking the heat,
 they decided to take them down,&quot; says Grimmelmann.  And Craigs' public 
stoning may not be the end of it.
&quot;If you get something involving really grisly or horribly offensive 
material, that's the kind of thing Congresspeople are really attentive 
to, and like to jump on because it shows them doing something about 
filth on the Internet,&quot; says Grimmelmann.
It begs the question: had Canadian Luka Magnotta and his Chinese 
victim been American, would gore sites - at least those run out of the 
States - continue to operate carte blanche?












Videos don't kill people
Gore site fans use the &quot;guns don't kill people&quot; argument when addressing this questionThanks
 to lame reality TV, it's socially acceptable to become famous for all 
kinds of questionable reasons: being a mob wife or a bad teenage mom, 
for example. Arguably, the bar to fame has never been lower. Could gore 
sites be a new, even dirtier road to celebrity for those with latent 
sadistic urges?
Somewhat unsurprisingly, gore site fans use the &quot;guns don't kill people&quot; argument when addressing this question.


&quot;I genuinely believe you already have it in you to do something like 
that,&quot; says Niki. After watching over a decade of gore videos, Niki 
says, &quot;I've NEVER had the idea to harm another human being EVER.&quot;
Gorehounds say that, quite the opposite, the sites actually help fight crime.


In 2009, for instance, two Russian teenagers were found guilty of 
murdering 21 people during a two month terror spree in the Ukraine. The 
so-called &quot;Dnepropetrovsk maniacs&quot; filmed several of their murders with 
cell phones, including the brutal slaying of 48-year-old Sergei 
Yatzenko, who was pulled off his bicycle, bludgeoned with a hammer, and 
stabbed repeatedly with a screwdriver.
The video, named  3 Guys 1 Hammer , made it onto the gore 
sites, and is still widely regarded as the most shocking gore video of 
all time. And its existence was instrumental in the murderers' 
conviction at trial.
Similarly,  1 Lunatic 1 Icepick  led to Magnotta's arrest, after the BestGore.com user community outed him and a member contacted Canadian authorities.


We'll never know if Magnotta would have graduated from killing cats 
to killing humans if he hadn't been assured of an audience of hundreds 
of thousands.
There is only one certainty here: Luka Magnotta won't be the last.

&quot;Bad guys evolve as fast as the rest of the society,&quot; says 
BestGore.com's Marek. &quot;We live in an internet age. It's only normal that
 the internet became the communication platform for the 
perpetrators...You won't see perpetrators mailing letters with words cut
 out of a newspaper glued onto it to draw attention to their crimes 
anymore.   new generation of violent people will use the internet as a
 platform of choice for various purposes.&quot;
Murder and mayhem have existed since the universe began. Nations have
 waged wars. Religions have tortured infidels. Lovers have killed 
rivals. Teens have assaulted random passers by with woodshop tools. 
What's different now is that we're reaching the tipping point, where 
nearly everybody in the universe has the ability to show everybody else 
in the universe what they're capable of.
And it's not always pretty.</description>

No injuries occured.

The runway was reported wet at the time of the overrun.

The airplane has been put back onto paved surface the meantime and towed to the apron</description>
