Horrible situation in Shreveport, Louisiana:
Apparently it was domestic violence and some of the kids killed his own.
He [police officer] said that some of the children inside one of the residences where the shooting happened were descendants of the gunman.

Why, oh, why, won’t these rage monsters off themselves first rather than destroying everyone in their lives? They rampage, then flee; do they really expect to get away with it?
Sell the estate and send the proceeds to France. The sons don’t deserve a dime.
In recent months, I’ve seen the phrase “I choose the bear”, regarding an hypothetical question, “would a woman rather see a random man in the woods, or a bear?” It has to do with how likely one would be believed were either to attack, and that question made me think of this horrific report, which to my knowledge isn’t on the Dope yet. I actually considered starting a thread of its own, but those don’t usually end well for me regardless of the topic. There are tons of links, and this is the first one I landed on that wasn’t an op-ed piece. Many people are interpreting “62 million hits” as “62 million users”, which I personally have not. Trigger alert: It’s a site, presumably on the dark web, about how to drug one’s wife, or other partners, into unconsciousness, rape them, and get away with it, presumably inspired by that terrible story from France.

This commentary also has actual video footage of the “bear attacks.”
I remember reading back in the 1980s that auto insurance fraud cost every American $200 a year. Not every driver, EVERY AMERICAN. According to the Inflation Calculator, that would be, depending on the year, a range from $532.60 to $801.49. I don’t think I even pay $801 a year for my own coverage, but I’m a low risk driver, and nevertheless, I find it believable. The video does contain profanity.
