Horrific Death of Mary Turner

In 1918 Mary Turner, a young, married black woman and mother of two was lynched by a white mob in Lowndes County, Georgia, for protesting the lynching and murder of her husband.

Mary Turner, who was eight months pregnant, was tied and hung upside down by the ankles, her clothes soaked with gasoline, and burned from her body.

Her belly was slit open with a knife until her unborn child fell to the ground.

Its little head was crushed by a member of the mob with his heel, and the crowd shot hundreds of bullets into Mary's body.....

Racially motivated mob violence by whites against black people in the American South was commonplace between 1880 and 1930, the lives of thousands of individuals including at least 159 women, lost.

When I first read about Mary Turner it sent me searching for more information. I became obsessed with the horrid details, unable to comprehend that level of cruelty. I wondered about the white men and women who stood by and did nothing, their glee captured in photographic images for posterity.

White mothers and fathers who encouraged their little white children to watch because murdering a black man or woman was simply sport, as easy as stomping out an ant crossing the floor.

They posed for pictures beside the dead bodies. They postured for friends and family and laughed as if they were celebrating a holiday. Who were these people? How did they lose their humanity? What did they gain in exchange for their souls?

Recently, Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi senator who faces a runoff against an African-American opponent, joked that if invited, she’d gladly take a front row seat at a public hanging. Her comment was met with applause and cheers. When criticized, she insisted there was nothing negative about her remark.

There was a time I couldn’t begin to imagine people who could be so callous. I believed things were different, that the fight for civil rights had served us well. I trusted that lessons had been learned and time had taught all of us a new normal. Like so many others, I was wrong. Racism is alive and well, rearing its ugly head with impunity.

Racists have become emboldened by a political party who have abandoned the American people for their own selfish gain. Some white neighbors would sooner slit black throats now than wave and smile.

They put brown babies in cages and criminalize parents who only want a better life for those they love. They build walls to keep migrants from crossing the border while white men use churches and night clubs for target practice.

They claim one is a threat to national security and defend the other with excuse after excuse. They rage about making America great again when what they aspire to will take America back to a dark place of hatred for and violence against those they consider inferior and unworthy of their American dream.

We should all be scared. The devil is busy in ways that were once unfathomable. We make memes about white women who are offended by black people living their best lives when nothing about their threats is funny. We dismiss politicians who have thrown civility to the wind.

Misogyny is trendy, sexism acceptable, and they vilify victims for ratings. Suddenly, bad behavior is encouraged in favor of a greater good that has nothing at all to do with being great. They speak their truth, no matter how vile, and then call it a joke if publicly shamed.

We should all be afraid. There aren’t enough of us standing up for what’s right. Leadership is slim and shaky. Only a few are willing to get into the fight and get dirty. We are failing the masses and our children and grandchildren will suffer most for our shortcomings.

The jokes aren’t funny. Those same grinning faces captured in our past have become the smirking faces in our classrooms teaching our children. They sit on juries and empower police who shoot down unarmed fathers and sons. They prepare the food in your favorite restaurants and clerk in your stores.

They live next door and around the corner. The very thought of sitting on the front row as a life is swinging away in the wind excites them and fuels their fight to widen the divide. They’ve come out of hiding and now rule in the White House.

We should be very afraid. But we should also be prepared to fight for what is right and good and decent in this world.in your stores. They live next door and around the corner.

In 1999 a female corpse with black objects on its feet was unearthed in Heilongjiang (China). Experts revealed her tragic experience: was she buried alive? For more than 200 years, a woman's skin, muscles, and joints remained intact. This female body was in the coffin, with a distorted posture and open mouth. Although it has become a mummy, it is not difficult to see that its expression is in great pain. The mummy was about 164 cm, the whole body was black as coal, and the placenta was not removed from the mummy before dying. The placenta was attached to the buttocks. Looking closer, the left hand and foot are mutilated. According to the archaeological team, it was a young woman in her 25s from the mummy's face and bones. According to Chinese tradition, the person who dies before being buried is cleaned and straightened by the limbs. The Mystery of the Cause of Death: Did you die of chronic poisoning or difficult childbirth? When the female mummy was found, her skin was still y...

THE WORST AND HORRIBLE CRUCITIXION ANCIENT METHOD OF EXECUTION..

The Crucifixion was an ancient execution method, in which the criminal's hands and feet were bound or nailed to a wooden, cross-like structure. It wasa capital punishment reserved for slaves, traitors, "heretics", and usually the worst of criminals. It became widespread during the reign of Alexander the Great, but it still remains in occasional use in some countries. There were various methods of performing the crucifixion. Usually, the prisoner had to drag the crossbeam of his cross, weighing around 100 pounds, to the place of execution. Subsequently, his outstretched arms were bound to the crossbeam, or sometimes nailed through the wrists, and the crossbeam was raised and fixed to the already standing upright post. Death was usually caused by overall exhaustion or by heart failure. Sometimes, to shorten the victim's suffering, his legs were shattered using an iron club, so that subsequent asphyxiation soon ended his life.

The Banco Central do Brasil Bank Robbery, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.

The Banco Central do Brasil Bank Robbery, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The bank robbery was pulled off by a gang of 25 people. They rented a property very close to the bank and made the people believe they were running a landscaping company. They distributed free promotional baseball caps and even ran some adverts. Within a space of three months, they dug an 80-meter tunnel, fitted with electric lights, wood-paneling, and improvised air-conditioning systems The entrance to the tunnel was about 70 cm square and four meters beneath the surface. The vault that weekend was filled with brand-new notes and used notes that had been withdrawn from circulation. The robbers took only the used notes because the bank had kept no record of their serial numbers. This was one of the wisest decisions they made. None of the money they took was traceable. They disabled the bank's alar ms and sensors and were able to drill through one-meter steel-reinforced concrete to the vault and made away with...

In 1918 after WWI had already ended, a brave Polish military officer, Captain Rosinsky, was captured?

In 1918 after WWI had already ended, a brave Polish military officer, Captain Rosinsky, was captured by the Bolsheviks in Belarus. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of him, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. The Polish-Soviet War (late autumn 1918 / 14 February 1919[3] – 18 March 1921) was fought primarily between the Second Polish Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution, on territories which were formerly held by the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani will not be stoned to death - for the time being

Iran's judiciary has said that the stoning sentence for a woman convicted of adultery will not be carried out – for now. But the fate of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, which has generated huge international concern, remains uncertain. Malek Ajdar Sharifi, the senior judicial official in East Azerbaijan province, where the mother-of-two was convicted, told the Irna state news agency yesterday the sentence "will not be implemented for the time being." Ajdar Sharifi added that the sentence would still be carried out if the judiciary wanted, despite protests from the west. Mohammadi Ashtiani's crimes were "various and very serious" and not limited to adultery, he insisted. "Although the verdict is definitive and applicable, it has been halted due to humanitarian reservations and upon the order of the honourable judiciary chief." Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, was found guilty of having an "illicit relationship" with two men in 2006 but her lawyer and ...

The Painful Murder Of Czeslawa Kwoka In Auschwitz Extermination Camp, By Phenol Injection In The Heart.

Her name was Czeslawa Kwoka, and her crime was being Polish, Catholic, and 14 years old. Her red triangle was for political prisoners, because of where she was born in Poland. After this photo was taken, she was killed in Auschwitz extermination camp on March 12, 1943 with a phenol injection in the heart. Just before the execution, she was photographed by prisoner Wilhelm Brasse, who would later testify against the executioner of Czeslawa, a woman. Just before the photo, the executioner punched Czeslawa in the face, as the hematoma on her lip shows. This is the face of a terrified little girl, who didn't even speak the language of her executioner. She had lost her mother a few days before. But she dried her tears to look presentable for the photo. They took her hair and her life, but they couldn’t take her dignity. She was only one of about 250,000 children and minors who were executed in Auschwitz-Birkenau. T...

Meet The Woman With 4 Legs And 2 Private Parts Who Later gave birth to 5 Kids

Meet The Woman With 4 Legs And 2 Private Parts Who Later gave birth to 5 Kids Mar 6, 2021 In this post, we'll talk about a woman who was born with a very unusual and uncommon disability and many people are still skeptical of her story. Josephine Myrtle Corbin is the lady we'll be talking about. She was born in Tennessee in 1868 and was born with two private organs and four legs. This may seem odd, but it is real, and I will explain how it happened. Josephine was meant to be a twin, but they were conjoined from the waist down, according to historians. Her disease is called 'Dipygus,' and it is a very unusual form of conjoined twinning. She was doubled from the waist down due to an unusual illness, but she was regular from the waist up. Her twin's two legs were smaller than her natural legs, and they were stuck to her normal legs, making it impossible for her to walk easily. Josephine married Clinton Bicknell, a medical doctor, when she was 19 years old, and the co...

A Brazilian woman, born without a vagina, has become the first in the world to have one made from tilapia fish skin

A Brazilian woman, born without a vagina, has become the first in the world to undergo pioneering reconstructive surgery that successfully created a new vaginal canal using the skin of tilapia fish. Researchers at the Federal University of Ceara (UFC) in northeast Brazil, led by gynecologist Dr. Leonardo Bezerra, revealed the unprecedented procedure, called a neovaginoplasty, was performed on Jucilene Marinho, 23, in April 2017. The unorthodox treatment is faster, cheaper and less aggressive than the conventional method used for sufferers of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH), a rare congenital disorder that affects approximately one in 5,000 newborn girls and results in the absence of some or all of the female reproductive organs. opening a space between the vagina and anus and inserting a tubular mold lined with the skin of the freshwater fish. Once in contact with the patient’s body, tilapia skin acts like stem cells and is absorbed and transformed into cellular tissue forming th...

in 1981 Ken McElroy was an adult man and bully in Skidmore, Missouri. He had been accused of assault, child molestation, statutory rape, burglary, and hog and cattle rustling. He avoided conviction for all of these crimes and was released each time. Speaking of statutory rape, he met his future (and 4th) wife Trena McCloud when she was 12 years old.
