The pic with the little girl in the water makes me more angry than any of them. Why the fukk are they snapping pictures instead of trying to free her.

I was about to post this exact same thing

I remember reading that she was stuck under some rubble and that it was impossible due to no one having any type equipment to help save her. The man who took the photo stay with her until she died since she didnt wanna be alone.

No lie this thread really had me fukked up for a few hours yesterday. I'm usually straight but some of these videos and pics had me straight up depressed. I had to listen to some happy cheerful music and go out to a party to get this shyt out my head. I'm leaving this thread. All these negative images and information isn't good for your mind seriously.
You are p*ssy thats why:stopitslime:

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
ricardo-lopez_528_poster.jpg


This is Ricardo Lopez. He became of fan of the singer, Bjork, to the point where he became obsessed with her and was distraught when she started a relationship with fellow artist, Goldie.

He then decided he was going to kill her and himself and make a video diary of it.



No gore, but you see how batshyt crazy this guy was. According to one of the comments on the video: "This video is pretty misleading. He knew exactly what he was doing and planned to commit suicide from the very beginning. The way this was edited makes him look like he totally lost his mind when he actually made a point of proving he hadn't in the tapes. It was an act of revenge against her for betraying his image of her by (in his words) "fukking a ******." He never wanted to be "united with her in death" he just wanted to punish her and the suicide was simply because he thought it was easier than dealing with the authorities. At least that's the reason he gave."

López was born in Uruguay to a middle-class family, and moved to the southeast United States as a child. He had a very close relationship with his mother due to her having him later in life.

López remembered running the streets of Georgia, as a child. Men would tell the young López (supposedly) true stories that involved racial beatings. López had male friends in school but did not have any girlfriends or female friends. López was preoccupied with fantasies of becoming a famous artist and going to art school, dropping out of high school to achieve it; when López and his brother George moved to Florida in the early 1990s, López worked part-time for his brother's pest control business to support himself. When López moved, he lost a lot of contact with his mother.

By the age of 18, López had become socially reclusive, and started a written diary, in which López described his fantasies of fame; his low self-esteem and self-felt inadequacy in his weight and sexual areas, as well as entries about his job. López was also heavy into porn and developed a habit of taking needles and poking holes in his legs with them. He had become obsessed with celebrities to distract himself, and in November of 1993, developed an obsession with the Icelandic singer Björk, seeing that she was creating artistic and non-generic music, later regarding her as a "daughter figure" because of her "child-like looks and voice" (despite the singer being almost ten years his senior). Ricardo was open with his fascination with Björk, he told his friend Ralph and his brother George, who both allegedly told him to "get a real woman". López would send Björk many fan letters, in 1994 he sent her an art project and followed her career extensively, Ricardo wrote about wanting to become a presenter at MTV video music awards.

In early 1996, López became distraught at Björk's relationship with fellow musician Goldie. In his videotapes and writings, López identified her as a "****** lover".

Letter bomb plot and video tapes
On January 14, 1996, the day of his 21st birthday, López began filming his video diary. The video tapes (around eighteen hours' worth) include López ranting in various stages of undress about philosophical issues, his construction of the bomb, rants about Björk and her relationship with Goldie, and López showing off his squalor-filled apartment, which he refers to as a "pig sty". The videos show a noticeable deterioration in López's mental state as the date of his suicide grows nearer, and ends with him shaving his head, painting himself in grease body paint, and committing suicide by firearm hours after he mails the device to Björk's London home.

López's letter bomb was disguised as a book sent by Björk's record label, Elektra Records. The device was intended to spray sulfuric acid at the opener, killing or disfiguring them. López intended the device to make himself "the one person who changed her life the most", originally wanting to inject the bomb with the HIV virus, but abandoning the plans for feasibility.

Personal diary
Aside from the videos, Ricardo wrote 803 pages of a personal diary that he left unfinished in his apartment. An empirical analysis of López's writings revealed a rather interesting pattern in Ricardo's preoccupations, in the 803 pages, López made 14 direct and indirect references to homicide, 34 references to suicide. He referred to various other celebrities 52 times and described deep feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem 168 times. But by far the most frequent reference (408 times) was to Björk.

Suicide and mailing of the device
On September 12, 1996, López mailed the device to Björk's residence in London, and filmed the final entry in his video diary, entitled "Last Day - Ricardo López". In the video, López paints his head in red, black and green greasepaint, shaves his head, and kills himself with a gun in his mouth next to a hand painted sign that reads "The best of me" (it is assumed that López intended on covering the sign with his blood and brain matter as a result of the gunshot, a plan that utterly failed due to both the small bore bullet not exiting López's head and his body falling forward to the floor rather than backward towards the sign) while Björk's song, "I Remember You", plays in the background. The videotape, which was still in López's camera as police discovered the body, continued to roll as López lay motionless in his apartment, however entirely outside the camera's range. Björk's relationship with Goldie ended a week before López mailed the device and killed himself.

Early on September 16, a Van Buren Plaza maintenance worker, noticing a "persistent, foul odor" and blood coming through the ceiling of the apartment below López's, contacted the Hollywood Police Department. Police arrived, and discovered López's decomposing body, along with his video tapes, along with a message "THE 8MM TAPES ARE A DOCUMENTATION OF A CRIME. TERRORIST MATERIAL. THEY ARE FOR THE F.B.I." written in black paint by López on the walls of his apartment. The Broward County Sheriff's Office evacuated almost one hundred people from the apartment while a bomb squad continued to search for further explosives, though only one device was constructed.

Police contacted Scotland Yard to warn them of the device that had been delivered. Metropolitan Police intercepted the bomb from a south London post office and detonated it without incident.

Aftermath
After the suicide of López, Björk spoke out publicly and expressed grief for López and sent flowers and a card to López's family. Björk also increased security on her son, Sindri, who was escorted to school with a minder. In her few public comments on this event, Björk later said it was hard emotionally and it disrupted her life and work in London, explaining in part why she chose to leave the UK scene for good, reject her cute image, and began to write more personally with her album Homogenic.

Ricardo López's videotapes, including his suicide, were confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in their investigation of the attempted murder, and released to journalists through their media center. As of July 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation no longer will release López's videotapes to journalists, though the full eighteen hours can be found on YouTube, and DVD copies can also be found occasionally for purchase on eBay.

Not exactly a creepy story but these guys were part of an extreme right wing white supremacist group in SA called the AWB. They were called in to help one of the leaders of a Bantustan that refused to reintegrate into South Africa and they shot at some black protesters only to get return fire from the Bantustan army. The strategy was to stop the elections in 1994 that Mandela won. They were pleading for help for some wounded guy and the black policeman in the picture just came out and shot all of them.

i guess the most disturbing one for me was the shootout on tape. i only heard murder on tape once before, so this echoed trayvon martins screams. dont know what possessed cop not to unload once the dancing started.

yeah he didnt handle the situation well at all and seemed scared from the start. shouldve pumped slugs in dude as he came towards him. inatead he let dude go back to his truck to get his gun. pulled over the wrong dude. his screaming was disturbing. dying. crazy.
Im sure they use this tape for training.

That story about the girl who vanished from the cruise ship is fukked up. I've been on two cruises and there are quite a few creepy muthafukkas on those ships(crew and vacationers).

Makes sense.. there is so much fukkery you can get away with on these massive ships.. people that wanted to make money while hiding from something/someone could easily just work there, travelling the world chilling and shyt.

They didn't all have photos, but I was checking the reddit thread with stories like these. I was intrigued...

:merchant:...this thread

I must have gone through it 3x...

I gotta say...those stories about the Hikers in Russia...and the Ghost Ship in Indonesia has me...:damn:

I looked them up with some additional google research and they seem legit...and if true, I am seriously convinced there are some things out there that are beyond human comprehension.
