Along with a few accomplices, Ray would kidnap women, take them to his "Toy Box" (a converted mobile home) and then rape and torture them for months. Once he was done he wouldn't simply kill them. He'd mix up a cocktail of sodium pentothal and phenobarbitol and proceed the brainwash the victims into forgetting what happened. He would bathe, dress, and drop the women off in the middle of no where and they would wake up not being able to account for the lost time. He was eventually caught when one of his captives escaped while he was at work.

As if all of this wasn't creepy enough. He would play a recording for each of his new victims informing them of what they were about to encounter. A very long and NSFW transcription can be found here http://thinkingaboutphilosophy.blogspot.ca/2012/10/david-parker-rays-audio-tape-transcript.html

American President Woodrow Wilson's favorite film was Birth of a Nation and he held screenings of it at the white house.

If you aren't familiar with the film, it pretty much portrays African-Americans as ooga-booga savages with an insatiable lust to rape white women.

Well, I guess I'll just go fuck myself, then.
Currently in prison serving a 25-year sentence, Viktor Bout is basically a real-life James Bond villain. He's a former Soviet Army Intelligence Officer, speaks six languages, financed terrorism, and smuggled weapons past sanctions across Africa and elsewhere. Through a poorly-overseen process of contractors and sub-contractors, he almost definitely transported weapons into Afghanistan for the U.S. government. When he was sentenced, his wife was interviewed and she basically said, "Yeah, that sounds about right."

His story is really fascinating, and kind of unbelievable.

Woodrow Wilson was angry and embarrassed that he allowed some acquaintances to stage a screening of that film at the White House without running a check on it first, and he left the party immediately after the screening in a hurry, and visibly distressed, according to witnesses. He also later described the affair as "unfortunate" in personal letters, and criticized the film itself. There's no clear source for the supposed quotes of him applauding the film, all references seem to be pointing to hearsay and apocryphal sources.

Who escaped because he had no idea how to actually do what he intended. And he's nuts and wanted to be famous as a mastermind so he has no reason to admit the truth.

Is this the thing where if you Google Hillary Clinton it doesn't autofill the word "crimes" after it or whatever? Because if you do the same for even OJ Simpson or Bernie Madoff, Google does the same thing so it isn't some grand conspiracy.

My extreme right wing you tube personalities failed to mention this. Though it seems the argument being made is that the other search engines do fill in criminal misconduct poo poo (as well as for a number of other celebrities I tried just now). If it's just googles policy to sort of hide shady poo poo beyond direct searches for it generally then I retract my lunatic fringe conspiracy theorem.

Mostly I thought it was funny that they'd gently caress with search results, but not gently caress with search results about loving with search results.

dw griffith had based the film on some confederate history book he had read and somehow didn't think anything was wrong with it until he saw the final product. he was so upset about the result that he basically made his next film (intolerance) as an apology for it

I actually live in Orange County not too far from Irvine and Torrance, so when this poo poo was going on everyone was on edge.

Everyone at my work and the area was split into two main groups: those who were all for him killing cops and those that just wanted him stopped. I personally couldn't understand anyone rooting for him, the dude killed 2 innocent people first. (Monica Quan who was an assistant basketball coach at Cal State University Fullerton, and her fiance. He shot them in front of their apartment complex in Irvine.)

On February 4, 2014, it was announced that LAPD chief Charlie Beck had determined that eight officers violated the LAPD's use-of-force policy and would be disciplined. Beck noted that California state law prevents him from disclosing the nature of the discipline publicly, but that discipline could range "from extensive retraining up to termination."

Holy poo poo I totally missed that. I guess that happened.

quote:

Investigators learned she not only had a sexual relationship with O'Brien, but other officers too. Guap says some of the officers even paid her for sex. And some paid her with information, tipping her off about prostitution stings so she could avoid them.

Guap tells CNN there were 28 officers total: Fourteen Oakland police officers, five Richmond police officers, several Alameda County Sherriff's deputies, a Livermore police officer and a Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy.

Guap says she never met, but also texted sexually explicit messages to a former Oakland officer who became an inspector in the Alameda County District Attorney's office. That is the very office that will decide whether anyone should be prosecuted related to these allegations. Guap says the officers trusted her in part because her mother and stepfather are both police dispatchers.
