@mestreg5687 4 года назад

I didn't get it right. So, if you belong to a minority adopted by progressivism, is it okay if you kill and hide the body of someone with a drinking history and a criminal history? He killed someone and then left the body to rot. Didn't the victim's family have a right to know what happened and arrange a funeral? The body was only discovered because the KILLER died, what if he hadn't? If he had concerns about how he would be remembered, KILLER.

@juliencastle2953 4 года назад

@@mestreg5687 *It's not that you didn't get it it's that you fake getting something else.* The OP only said he was giving zero fuck for a killed person if this person was a rapist. Nothing to do with the killer belonging to a minority making it more okay or anything close so...

@mestreg5687 4 года назад

@@juliencastle2953 So ... I think I saw another video, the one that makes excuses for the murderer and blames the victim without a fair trial, just assuming that the murderer deserves what he received. Just by shooting him in the head, you can't even identify if there was a fight or the victim was given the right to defend himself. Fear of "persecution" does not justify what has been done. And, by the way, he had already served time. And the murderer, when did he serve his time? The video sentence was not "So it's speculated in an act of self-preservation and survival she just wrapped the body, hid it, and try to forget about it. And if you think about it, whether Corey knew Woley or not, her reasons for not reporting the death are likely to be the same."? How it can be more permissive? Even though there was a fight, it was not a helpless woman defending herself from a man presumably much stronger, it was a fight between two men. And another thing, from a lawyer, usually shot in the head without excoriations on the attacker and with the killer hiding the body means one thing, an execution.

@juliencastle2953 4 года назад

@@mestreg5687 So... That's under this other video you should have been commenting that. Again, the comment you answered to didn't say it was more okay cause the killer belonged to a minority or anything remotely close. I agree with you that we don't know what happened ( nobody does right now actually ) and that therefore we shouldn't call it either a murder or self-defense cause we can't verify any of both but please don't tell random person "Excuse me, so it's okay to do that if you're a minority?" when they're not saying that at all...

Hi. Any chance of a video discussing what happened to the remains of the firefighters who responded to the Chernobyl explosion first? These poor souls died of huge radiations exposure then were buried in zinc coffins covered with meters of cement. Has the radiation and sealed coffins covered in concrete preserved their remains????

@8LyJu8 4 года назад

Lead caskets* And the cement wasn't immediate. They were buried in it after the athorities realized how dangerous was the radiation level emmanating from the bodies. Radiation liquidifies people, so I don't expect that, when they can exhumated (if they ever are) there is something remaining there. As a special note: it wasn't just the firefighters, military men in there, plant workers, ambulance workers. Are buried like them. Not sure about the doctors who treated them in Pripyat, but between being so close to the Lenin and the contact with contaminated people, it could be possible some of them ended up the same way.

It's surprisingly common for people who have killed to keep the bodies in their homes. Part of it is to just be sure that you know where it is and who has access to it.

@dashopepper Год назад

I was thinking that it's probably hair spray; it's one of those things they recommend to help get stains out of clothes. Buy the cheapest Dollar Store brand; the one that's filled with lacquer. Spray liberally on a stain; wait for it to harden (it separates the material fibres); pretreat; then wash. It probably stretches and hardens dessicated skin.

Daniel RP I'm aware, I am trans- in the past there was less distinction though, most first person accounts I see from trans people during that time include a strong mingling, when full time transition was less of a viable goal, drag was a form of self expression and many drag queens did identify as transgender later down the line- Dorian Corey specifically was a woman and my comment was specifically referring to Kaitlin gendering her correctly and treating her story with nuance and respect instead of sensationalizing her experience

I really want to see a video about Queen Victoria. The woman so consumed with death... grief... and memorialization that it ushered in a whole new era where socially accepted death obsession reigned supreme. No modern generation was more obsessed with death then the Victorians! She had a picture of her husband taken in their marrital bed AFTER he died and then hung that picture of his dead body over his side of the bed where she slept next to it clutching one of his bed shirts until the day she died. 2019 also marks the 200th anniversary of her birth... Which Brits are celebrating as we speak.... so it's topical! She was in deep mourning for decades... and she obviously was in need of mental health counseling for grief... Something unheard of in her time that could have vastly changed her life.... Mental health acceptance is also topical... Just an idea from my cat....
