In the early morning hours of November 15, 2004, Christopher Porco crept into his parents' bedroom in Bethlehem

In the early morning hours of November 15, 2004, Christopher Porco crept into his parents' bedroom in Bethlehem, New York and suddenly began butchering them with a fireman's ax before fleeing the scene.

His mother Joan lost her left eye and part of her skull yet lived, and she lay bleeding in bed for hours before police arrived. Meanwhile, Christopher struck his father Peter 16 times in the head, penetrating his skull and taking off part of his jaw.

But the attack didn't kill Peter immediately — and the resulting crime scene later revealed a gruesome picture of his morning.

The brain damage that Peter sustained caused him to go into a macabre daze once he was somehow able to wake up after his son had fled.

He then simply went about his morning routine in a sleepwalking-like state as if nothing was wrong. A trail of blood showed that he got out of bed, walked into the bathroom and stood at the sink, then made his way into the kitchen.

There, he tried to unload the dishwasher, packed his lunch, and even wrote a check to pay Christopher's recent parking ticket.

Peter then went outside to get the newspaper, accidentally locked himself out of the house, and had the presence of mind to use the spare key to get back in before finally collapsing on the floor of the foyer and succumbing to his injuries.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war. In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured. Whilst been escorted to a German Lufwaffe Prisoner of War (POW) camp (he was a pilot and thus his interrogation and imprisonment was the responsibility of the German airforce), he opened a conversation with his captors. He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles.

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles. Antony Beevor wrote: "... In Paris, there were cases of prostitutes kicked to death for having accepted German soldiers as clients. (...) A large number of the victims were prostitutes who had simply plied their trade with Germans as well as Frenchmen, although in some areas it was accepted that their conduct was professional rather than political, others were silly teenagers who had associated with German soldiers out of bravado or boredom. In a number of cases, female schoolteachers who, living alone, had German soldiers billeted on them, were falsely denounced for having been a "mattress for the boches. (...) Women accused of having had an abortion were also assumed to have consorted with Germans. Many victims were young mothers, whose husbands were in German prisoner-of-war camps. During the war, they often had no means of supp...

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration.

After the end of world war 2,this letter was found in nazi concentration camp,which contains following message adressing the teachers. Dear Teacher, I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates. So, I am suspicious of education. My request is: Help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated illeterates. Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more humane. Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
