    Yeah there was a whole story with it I think, describing what was going on in every pic.

    This sombre series of portraits taken of people before and after they had died is a challenging and poignant study. The work by German photographer Walter Schels and his partner Beate Lakotta, who recorded interviews with the subjects in their final days, reveals much about dying - and living.

    It looks like he's kicking away a banana in that photo. I don't know the story but I imagine someone in the crowd threw it at him because he's black (you know that whole black people = monkey thing).

    That picture is very famous, shown here is a very cropped version of it. The soldier is not actually firing upon the woman and child pictured.

    The guy on that site has his own agenda.

    That picture is a well known fake. There are hundreds like it though that are quite authentic, sadly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    about that picture, with the many variations
    http://www.codoh.com/incon/daspiktur.html
    war crimes were commited by all sides (majority by the axis powers, japan and germany. also Russia), but rules and war dont exactly go together well sadly, and this can be seen throughout history.

    a recent controversy

    NSFW- shrapnel wounds from an IED on a boys face/chest
    "During a U.S. Army Task Force Shadow helicopter rescue mission, a boy with shrapnel wounds on his face and body from an IED explosion is rushed to a field hospital, airborne over southern Afghanistan, Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010. The explosive, which also tore off both an Afghan man's legs, was planted to kill or maim Marines and Afghan soldiers on foot, who responded and applied first aid, and called in the rescue unit from the 101st Airborne's TF Destiny."

    Beautiful stuff.

    And now I've got tears in my eyes. Absolutely gorgeous and moving. Wow. The final line before the letter has now made me a blubbering mess. There goes my manliness.

    OK, I know this is a clip rather than a pic, but it's one of the most shocking things I've seen.

    **Warning** This is quite graphic and shows injuries to children and babies from Nalpalm. I won't embed due to the caption pic used by the uploader.

    thats a vey famous video/set, lots of photos as well


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    I don't know if this can be considered as something that shock the world or anything. I can't remember seeing this on the news/hearing about it.
    Its a interesting read, but it is very disturbing. Some people are just sick. Make sure to read the bit about them attending the funerals. Makes me sick.

    I remember seeing the videos of one of those years ago, if I recall correctly. the scary part of the footage is that the brutal murder which took about 10 minutes to complete was all filmed about 8 feet from a motorway. The world would be a slightly better place if those animals were put to sleep imo.
