Christ.

Seriously?

If it's the video I think it is then it's from 2 young Russian medical students who went about killing homeless people. They killed this girl and one mutilated her body while the other captured it on video.

The video camera itself belonged to an uncle whom they borrowed it off. They forgot to take the tape out so when the uncle saw it he handed it over to the police immediately.

2 of them are awaiting sentencing last I heard.

This one I find the most harrowing, I can barely imagine what that kid in the water felt.

Just seen Sky News there and that figure standing over the guy in the water is the gunman .

When I seen it first I was thinking it was a rescue personal , but the images of the gunman (dressed in police suit) are the exact same .

There is such thing as hell on earth .

92 now confirmed dead

You can see the gun in the picture, fresh blood in the water, and that kid has his hands up in defence, considering they're actually pictures of the incident unfolding, we can hardly get a warning to that effect on the post? The times technically have an image of victims, completely different thing though.

It was a video of the body of a murdered woman being mutilated. Why anyone feels the need to watch something like that is beyond me, and it's not something that we will ever deem acceptable on this site.

My god, if ever there was a need for "internet police" this is a case for it, how is live leaks able to put stuff up like that without it being removed? Music Videos of recording artists are taken down due to copywright/licence infringements but not this?! I genuinely could not sleep after seeing that. Sickened me to my core that sh!t is going to haunt me.

Really?!

No offence to anyone, but the lady in the wheelchair looks ancient. I thought it would be the woman standing behind the wheelchair and the woman at the left in the picture were the happy couple.

Anyway good luck to 'em.

Seriously? Did you read the article? They've been together for years and couldn't get married, now they can, so they did. Age doesn't matter...

Says it all. London Riots. Photo of a woman jumping from the second storey of a building into the arms of a crowd below to avoid the flames below her.

Not to be a buzzkill on that photo or anything, but London doesn't use the european speed signs so that is from somewhere else.

Seems to have been verified alright - there's a tram line there (either Croydon or Clapham, not sure). Hence the signs.

according to charlie brooker

"Okay. That photo of the woman jumping from the fire? Genuine. The 'European road signs' are tram signs. It's Croydon."

Apologies! My bad people, I'm always assuming without any real evidence.:rolleyes:
