For those not in the know, the crown prince of Nepal (which isn’t a monarchy currently, BTW) shot his entire family in their Khatmandu palace today before killing himself. The reason was that his mother didn’t approve of his bride of choice.

At least 8 people are shot dead in a horrific massacre. Even if they were a world away is this really something to joke about?

Torgo, this is so not funny, it makes me sick.

What is the matter with you?

I’m closing this thread.
