@shadowgirl617 11 месяцев назад

It's likely they were an employee in the distribution department in a Chicago branch, but seeing as the death toll was only 7 and only limited to the Metropolitan area, it could've been a customer or 2 buying the medication in various retail locations in the area, poisoning them at home, and then going back to the stores, hide the poisoned medication in the shopping basket or cart, and doing a switcheroo while pretending to examine the bottles in stock. That's one theory.

Thank you for mentioning the poisoning of Alexei Navalny He should have stayed in Berlin instead of going back to Moscow His prison sentence is extending over 19 more years. That means that the documentary Navalny have a sequel and we don’t want that I was so happy when the movie won the Oscar although I couldn’t decide between that one and Fire Of Love winning. Moonage Daydream, My Imaginary Country, More Than Robots, Mickey The Story Of A Mouse, Hockeyland and Just Like You Anxiety Plus Depression missed nominations. I thought that Russian movies will no longer be nominated after Loveless Free Alexei Navalny

@ladykoiwolfe 11 месяцев назад

Rasputin comes to mind first. But the king who could not be poisoned comes to mind second. His name is eluding me, but he was terrified of being poisoned and so slowly built up an immunity to all poisonous substances they knew how to use in his day. At his downfall he tried to take poison as a suicide and it didn't work because his preventative measures were too effective. Chiron the centaur comes to min third, but he is unfortunately , a myth.

I don't know about this Croatian case.. there was one person that commited suicide here on Serbian side, to not go to international jail and he didn't seem like a bad person, most others knew that it was better than a hotel, some bragged about great conditions, insulted judges. It's hard to say what was the motive, some find it insulting to be in jail or on trial, it's not always about conditions.

War Crimes in WAR? Speeding tickets at the Indy 500

@yoshifrazzled7628 11 месяцев назад

There are rules in war breaking those rules makes it a crime. Since that crime happened during a war it's called a war crime. The rules were set after many horrific things were done. It's a deterrent so if two places are at war with each other if one side breaks the rules other nations not involved now have justification to intervene
