But what if it is about a criminal getting his just desserts?

Interesting question. Reminds me of how Jacques Mesrine was killed by a police ambush.

Was the guy a nasty piece of work that had a bad end in store for him? No question about it. Multiple murders, kidnappings, bank robberies, he was evil, through and through.

But was the state justified in an extrajudicial killing in this case? If it was, where is the line drawn where the state is no longer bound by restrictions and can do the same against others? And if the line gets drawn, who's to say it can't be erased and redrawn to where suddenly myself or a close friend falls on the bloody side of the line?

Here's a very interesting case taking place in France right now:

This reminds me of the cattle mutilation cases...some which were left totally unexplained and were suspected to have extra terrestrial connection...is the same thing going on here now?

Every good trip down a rabbit hole starts with a wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_mutilation

I had no idea this stuff goes back to records from the 1600s!

My personal favorite explanation is La Chupacabra, because that's fun to say.

Chupacabra is an interesting creature as well...claimed to be some sort of a vampire dog...there are numerous sightings in mexico and in that area...

There is also a bit different type of chupacabra in Puerto Rico that is considered to be perhaps reptilian in nature...

One of my favourites in the Cryptozoology department. Most certainly a creature that atleast HAS existed...perhaps not extinct.

Catastrophic deadly floods in the south-east of the country in the hinterland of Nice. Torrential rains have been falling for 24 hours. The equivalent of 10 months of rain in a few hours. Small rivers have become furious mountain streams carrying and destroying everything. The tv report below describes this small house in a mountain village where a retired couple lived. You can see what the house looked like before and see it being swallowed up by the waters. The reporter saw the scene and  this poor old couple who had taken refuge on the first floor and signaled their presence with a small battery lamp.
Unfortunately, the extreme weather conditions did not allow the civil security helicopters to take off. We saw the rest, the house collapsed under the pressure of the water was washed away with its two inhabitants. We found their bodies today ...

That's an awful way to go.    The only bad thing about living in the mountains.

Yeah...just horrible.

Incredible video, continues to prove that mother nature does not give a shit.

Incredible video, continues to prove that mother nature does not give a shit.

Exactly my thought as soon as I saw this.
A coastal town near the Atlantic Ocean had been submerged 10 years ago. An exceptional tidal coefficient coupled with very strong winds from the west had submerged a village which had been built on soils lying below sea level. Only a levee protected them but this artificial protection didn't resist the power of the waves. Result: dozens of deaths. A small area was then declared unbuildable but houses are still there with the obligation to make an additional level, such as a survival cell. Pure unconsciousness. The greed of professional builders and the corruption of elected officials did the rest as usual but Nature always takes back her rights, always.

Riot Glass vs. Rioter.  Guess who is going to win.

Headline says it all...

An 18-year-old Russian Chechen national decapited a History teacher in the street in front of a college . The teacher had shown his students caricatures of a naked Muhammad by having first suggested to the Muslim students present to leave the class because they risked being shocked. It was a lesson on freedom of expression in France. Parents of students then filed a complaint against this teacher (I swear it is true) and publish requests for violent actions against him. It was October 5th.
The assassin will be killed by the police a few streets away, by the usual summons, otherwise the police could be prosecuted by the murderer's family. I swear to you that is also true.
He refused to stop and had the knife still bloodied in his hand. 7 bullets saved us from an endless trial and newspaper headlines in the months to come.

At the same time, the coranavirus killed 178 people yesterday.
This virus is truly a plague.

Just read about that...what a sick fuck...Thank goodness for the actions of the police!

I just saw that on IDNES (a Czech news station I watch to hone my Czech skills). It's also on the Wall Street Journal, BBC, CNN, etc. It's made world news not only because of its heinous nature, but also because the nonsense continues to occur. I wonder if Macron is going to actually do anything about it or if he was just spouting off at the mouth.
