, one of the highest ranking Nazi officers, was known for his (literally) “homicidal anti-Semitism.” In 1933, Goebbels was in Geneva, Switzerland for the League of Nations conference. This is Goebbels as captured by Alfred Eisenstaedt, a German born Jew, before Goebbels truly took notice.

After the invasion of Iraq, the US Army and the CIA set up this prison where suspects would be kept for interrogation. And those who were held in there, were brutally treated, as you can see above is the iconic image we all know of Ali Shallal al-Qaisi, who is being hooked up to a bunch of electrical wires. Below are even worse ways detainees were interrogated. Words just cannot explain what they were doing to them

The Reichserntedankfest rally (Thanksgiving Celebration of the Reich) took place in Buckeberg in 1934. The rally attracted about 700,000 participants. It was an unprecedentedly large gathering, many people had never been present at such an event. The effect was powerful and certainly bolstered public morale and Nazi loyalty among German citizens. Photos of the Thanksgiving Celebration are sometimes mistaken for rallies at Nurnberg.

Her victims

Education › Re: Top Disturbing Events In History by TheSourcerer(op):
Mary bell,

In 1968 who was 11 years old when she committed the heinous act of Manslaughter.

She killed a 4-year-old boy- Martin Brown. Martin's body was found in an abandoned house, with blood and saliva trickling down his cheek. With no obvious signs of violence, police believed the 4-year-old's death to be accidental.

Some weeks later the body of another 3-year-old i.e. Brian Howe was found mutilated with the letter ‘M' carved with a blade on his belly and several marks on his thighs with scissors were also found, chunks of hair taken away and genitals partially mutilated.

Upon investigation- two children one Norma Bell, 13, and Mary Bell, 11 were acting strangely during investigation. They seemed excited rather than being disturbed or clueless.


A nursery school in the area was broken into where disturbing notes were left behind. The childishly scribbled notes were filled with obscenity, but most unsettling, was the notes about murder, including one that started "We did murder Martin Brown...". Another one said "I murder so that I may come back". At the time, the police still assumed Martin's death was an accident and wrote the notes off as a sick joke. Mary later admitted to writing them for "a giggle




During the trial, Mary passed certain comments to the guards as “I like killing small things which cannot retaliate”. Doctors term Mary as a psychopath.

Upon investigation it was found that Mary's mother was a prostitute and was suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP) disorder in which a caregiver intentionally harms the child. It is also believed that Mary was occasionally given drugs in overdose by her mother and she also saw her 5-year-old classmate being killed and run over by a bus. Mary also claimed that her mother had prostituted her put and used her a sex object in front of her clients.

Later Mary Bell and Norma Bell were both charged with 2 accounts of manslaughter but Norma Bell was released and Mary was charged on a single account of Manslaughter.

Mary lives a life of anonymity and was released from prison after serving 12 years. It is believed that she has a daughter who is also leading a life of anonymity.

Scary but true.

This is Sharon Carr.

She is known as one of the youngest female killers in Britain.

When Sharon was growing up, she saw her mother and her live-in partner wind up in the hospital due to a violent fight they engaged in.

Publicly, she did not (initially) display any unusual behavior. Secretly, she started experimenting with killing neighborhood pets.

One time, her mother noticed that Sharon was drawing disturbing pictures depicting violence. Later, her mother felt too overwhelmed to handle Sharon, and decided to put her in foster care. But turns out Sharon didn't do too well there, and after a short period returned home feeling doubly rejected and angry.

One night, Sharon was out cruising the streets, in the company of two boys. It was around 2am. She was just 12 years old.

Maybe her mother hadn't set any boundaries, or if she had, they were not enforced. Or Sharon simply didn't care to follow them.

On this night, Sharon spotted a young woman who looked distraught, walking home alone. The woman was 18 year old hairdresser, Katie Rackliff. Sharon offered her a ride.

The next morning, Katie was found dead, with 30+ stab wounds. Her breasts and Instruments had been mutilated. Police thought it was a rape crime and the case went unsolved for 2 years.

On the exact same date of Katie's stabbing, two years later, Sharon stabbed a fellow school mate and was arrested for it. Police found Sharon's diaries, which made for horrific reading, and uncovered the truth about Katie's death.

Sharon had written about Katie: “I wish I could kill her again…” She went on to recount how the act of stabbing and killing gave her a rush of sexual pleasure. Another entry read: “Oh damn. I've got a taste for red rum. And god do I want to get drunk.” Did I mention she was just 12 years old when this killing happened?

Sharon was charged, found guilty and imprisoned for the murder. In prison, she proved too difficult for the prison staff to handle. She was transferred to a high security mental health institution where she remains to date.

What kind of mental disturbance would make a girl of 12 engage in random acts of violence and commit such a savage murder? Sharon didn't know Katie. She wasn't provoked. And the fact that she went on to make the murder look like a sex crime is even more disturbing.

She has never shown remorse for what she did. When she was 21, she married a guy she met at Broadmoor (the high security mental institution she was being held in). Her husband of choice had killed his own mother by gouging her eyes out.

Thompson leading him out to be killed

Education › Re: Top Disturbing Events In History by TheSourcerer(op): 4:47pm On Jul 01, 2020
The two boys walked around with him for a while before bringing him to a railway line near a disused station, where they began torturing him. They dropped him on his head, stamped on him, kicked him and thew bricks at him. Threw paint into his eye. Dropped a 10kg iron bar on him. They hit him so many times—42—that the pathologist couldn’t even determine which was the fatal blow. Then in a final act of cold-blooded depravity, lay his dead body on the railway line, in the hope that a train would run over his body and make it look like an accident. It did, and his body was severed in two.

What made this case even more disturbing is that they were under psychological scrutiny for years, but none were able to understand why they did what they did. They weren’t obviously disturbed and seemed (at the time) to be developing pretty normally whilst behind bars. They got an education and were allowed unlimited visits from the parents, and Thompson was said to have quite a high IQ. A lot of people pointed the finger straight to the mothers (apparently the fathers get an automatic pass), but that just doesn’t cut it. For one thing, it was Venables that had a track record of violence, despite coming from a pretty stable home. Thompson on the other hand didn’t, and he came from a shambolic home life, feral even. For another, the idea that coming from a bad home makes you a violent murderer at the tender age of ten without a shred of empathy, one who actively seeks targets, just doesn’t stack up. If even half of kids in bad homes ended up like that, we’d have a worldwide epidemic on our hands. Besides, having it hard should on average make you more empathetic, not less, because you can understand and sympathise with others’ plight. There’s a wiring issue in all of this, there has to be.

Adult revelations would seem to support that idea too, since years later as an adult, Jon Venables has been bouncing in and out of prison for child porn charges, has developed drink and drug issues, as well being at the heart of violent incidents.

Venables amd Thompson



On the 12th February 1993, these two boys led a two-year-old toddler named James Bulger away from his mum, who’d momentarily taken her eyes off him, and out of the shopping centre where they were. The boys had been skipping school that day, and before they kidnapped Bulger, had been thieving from shops and purposefully looking for a target.

Amarjeet Sada:



This 8 year old boy from India is known as the world’s youngest known serial killer after he was charged with the murder of three children, including his sister, who were all less than one year old in 2006.

When villagers confronted Sada he is alleged to have confessed to the murder, leading them to the place where he had attempted to conceal the body in a shallow grave, local reports said. After his arrest police said the boy had then confessed to the murder of his eight-month-old sister three months previously and his six-month-old cousin, the daughter of a maternal uncle.

Superintendent Amit Lodha, from the town of Begusarai, 90 miles east of the Bihari capital, Patna, said the boy appeared to be a psychiatric case and was being evaluated by professionals. An uncle of Sada’s told local media that the earlier two killings had been known to the family and some villagers, but had not been reported since it was considered a "family matter". Inspector Shatrudhan Kumar of Bihar police said that all the killings had been carried out in identical manner. Asked about the boy’s mental condition, police said that when questioned, Sada “just smiled a lot and asked for biscuits.”

He was released from the psychiatric unit he was confined in aged 17 when he was deemed to be adequately rehabilitated. He now lives under a new identity and is said to be adapting well to life outside of incarceration through the aid of his medication.

The 16 year old student behind the Cleveland Elementary School Shooting in San Diego in 1979. Spencer came a troubled background and lived in almost absolute poverty. Acquaintances said Spencer expressed hostility toward policemen, had talked about shooting one, and had talked of doing something big to get on TV.

Although Spencer showed exceptional ability in photography, winning first prize in a Humane Society competition, she was generally uninterested in school; one teacher recalled frequently inquiring if she was awake in class. Later, during tests while she was in custody, it was discovered Spencer had an injury to the temporal lobe of her brain. It was attributed to an accident on her bicycle.

In early 1978, staff at a facility for problem pupils, to which Spencer had been referred for truancy, informed her parents that she was suicidal. That summer, Spencer, who was known to hunt birds in the neighborhood, was arrested for shooting out the windows of Cleveland Elementary with a BB gun, and burglary.

A psychiatric evaluation arranged by her probation officer recommended Spencer be admitted to a mental hospital for depression, but her father refused to give permission. For Christmas 1978, he gave her a Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic .22 caliber rifle with a telescopic sight and 500 rounds of ammunition.

This gift would later encourage Spencer to commit two counts of murder, one count of assault with a deadly weapon and injure 9 others from her house across the street from the school.

Tried as an adult, she pleaded guilty to all charges and was given an indefinite sentence. As of 2018, she remains incarcerated. Her infamous motive for the shooting; “I don’t like Mondays” remains immortalised to this day in the song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats:


But really who does? If not because of the lockdown another Monday just ends the weekends pfft
