We spoke to Robert John Major, a researcher who dove deeply into the events of the My Lai Massacre and why they happened. He told us “as the details of the whole massacre aren’t shocking enough, when I truly fleshed through all the information we had of the events and went deeper, I came across stories one couldn’t make up. An example of one of the atrocious events was on 17th March, the day after the massacre, the guides were still in the village when a small boy, who had manage to hide under his Grandmother’s clothes and dodge any gun shots, climbed out of a mountain of bodies. One of the soldiers
When Peter was spotted and captured he had been walking and running on all four and had been eating the forest flora and he could not speak. Peter subsisted in the woods he lived in and had to care for himself by eating the bark off the trees, leaves and berries. However, we do not know for certain how long Peter was left isolated in the woods for but what was established is before Peter was living in the forest he had been taken care of by someone because when he was found there were remains of a shirt collar wrapped round his neck. It is not certain but people believed, when this news was spread to the country, the town Hamelin then had a considerable amount of criminals and this led some
Sue Tas hid for five days then went back and told one of the neighbors what he had seen. This explanation causes more questions than answers, why would Robinson let two Aborigines into his house with no questions asked, what did Tom have to gain from killing him, was Sue Tas really an innocent bystander. He claims Tom had his gun with him but then it was revealed that Robinson's gun was missing from his mantle so where did it go? In a newspaper article during the trial it was stated that Sue Tas was threatened with death if he ever returned home and that seems fishy if he was telling the truth. There are a bunch of things that could have gone wrong with this testimony, someone could have paid the interpreter or something could have gotten lost in translation.
Many people tried to hack him out of his ice grave, but had little or no luck. Someone even used a nearby stick in efforts to jab him out of his grave; this only resulted in the breaking of the “stick” which happened to be part of Otzi’s backpack. The Iceman was poorly handled, resulting in much of his body and belongings being damaged. As more tests were performed after Otzi was free, his real age was determined to be around 5,300 years old, making him the oldest body to be found. 5,300 years would make him to have been alive around 3,100 B.C.
While Billy was still with his group traveling behind enemy line, a shooting occur, four shot was fired at Billy’s group. “The third was for the [Billy]”, it missed so “Billy stood there politely, giving the marksman another chance.”(33) Billy is giving a shooter another shot because he felt bad for the shoot. The war scar Billy so much that it had strip away Billy’s will to give and left sourless in a field of death.Also when Billy have been captured and sent into a concentration camp, a place filled with dying Russian, he was given a new coat to keep warm. The coat he got "had a fur collar and a lining of crimson silk, and had appartently been made for an impresario about as big as an organ-grinder’s monkey”(90) And he worn pretty dress though the camp filled with the dead and dying. Again it shows the confusion of the war that has taken away Billy’s sense and strip away who Billy is.
This all prompts a discussion about who had the guts to fire Rake after Scotty’s death. Paul says that Scotty was the wrong kid to have died, because his uncle, John Reardon, was the Superintendent of Education. He was the only one with the authority to fire Rake, and that’s exactly what he did. Rake had no answers when people asked what purpose there was in running young men in a sauna until they puked. He stayed home, worked the phones, and tried to ride it out.
Keila Pope AP English & Composition 11/29/12 The documentary Brother’s Keepers, made in 1992 directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky tells a story about an alleged 1990 murder in the village of Munnsville, New York. The story takes place in a low income community involving three brothers by the names William, Adelbert, Lyman, and Roscoe Ward were barely literate, had no education, and farmed land. William Ward, who had been ill for years, was found dead one morning. Delbert was accused of killing him, but at Delbert’s trial, Delbert stated that he had performed a mercy killing in order to put William out of his misery after a period of severe headaches and horrible health issues. The New York police violated Delbert's rights by tricking him to confess (which he later retracted) and by having him sign a written statement that he could not understand because he was illiterate.
The Jewish people were required to wear the Jewish star or Star of David on them at all times. When they would finally come get them off the train the higher ranking officers decided if you were going to be used for experiments or slave camps. He said the worst camp he ever went was ran by a man that would kill `15 to 20 people a day inhuman ways because the officer said that hanging was too easy for Jews. At this camp he was tattooed with KL which stands for concentration camp in Germany. Max also said his father was killed at this camp.
The German forces intended to begin the operation to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto on April 19, 1943, the eve of Passover. When SS and police units entered the ghetto that morning, the streets were deserted. Nearly all of the residents of the ghetto had gone into hiding places or bunkers. The renewal of deportations was the signal for an armed uprising within the
I made a run towards her the same time one of the Nazi soldiers shot the arrow. Last thing I heard was Maria's cry. 48 hours before I was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper article about Hitler’s speech last night. I crumpled up the paper and threw it in the garbage. I couldn’t read more of it.
