The man was summarily executed as a non-uniformed combatant who just murdered American troops as covered by the Geneva Conventions and is definitely not a war crime. According to Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention of 1949, irregular forces are entitled to prisoner of war status provided that they are commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates, have a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance, carry arms openly, and conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. If they do not do meet all of these, they may be considered francs-tireurs (in the original sense of "illegal combatant") and punished as criminals in a military jurisdiction, which may include summary execution. Photographer even admits the Left abused the photo. The photo won Adams the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography, though he was later said to have regretted its impact. The image became an anti-war icon. Concerning Loan and his famous photograph, Adams wrote in Time:
The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them, but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths. What the photograph didn't say was, "What would you do if you were the general at that time and place on that hot day, and you caught the so-called bad guy after he blew away one, two or three American soldiers?"[4] Adams later apologized in person to General Nguy?n and his family for the damage it did to his reputation.

 "On that same day, South Vietnamese Air Force Major Buang-Ly loaded his wife and five children into a two-seat Cessna O-1 Bird Dog and took off from Con Son Island. After evading enemy ground fire Major Buang headed out to sea and spotted the Midway. The Midway's crew attempted to contact the aircraft on emergency frequencies but the pilot continued to circle overhead with his landing lights turned on. When a spotter reported that there were at least four people in the two-place aircraft, all thoughts of forcing the pilot to ditch alongside were abandoned - it was unlikely the passengers of the overloaded Bird Dog could survive the ditching and safely egress before the plane sank. After three tries, Major Buang managed to drop a note from a low pass over the deck: "Can you move the helicopter to the other side, I can land on your runway, I can fly for one hour more, we have enough time to move. Please rescue me! Major Buang, wife and 5 child."" |

... The 'human fat vampire' legend actually has a 400-year-old history in Peru. During this time, locals spoke of vampires who hunted down and fed on the blubber of tourists and left behind bodies drained of all their fat. It turns out the legend may have been true all along, except the "vampires" are traffickers who hack people up and remove their fat to sell on the black market.
Peruvian police investigated this story for years and in 2009, Gen. Eusebio Félix Murga, director of Peru's criminal investigations unit, announced they had broken up a criminal gang that "traffics human fat."  |

Around 9:30 the morning of October 5, 1892 five members of the Dalton Gang (Grat Dalton, Emmett Dalton, Bob Dalton, Bill Power and Dick Broadwell) rode into the small town of Coffeyville, Kansas. Their objective was to achieve financial security and make outlaw history by simultaneously robbing two banks. From the beginning, their audacious plan went astray. The hitching post where they intended to tie their horses had been torn down due to road repairs. This forced the gang to hitch their horses in a near-by alley - a fateful decision. Emmett boldly rode back to where Bob Dalton was lying, and reaching down his hand, attempted to lift his dying brother on the horse with him. 'Its no use,' faintly whispered the fallen bandit, and just then Carey Seamen fired the contents of both barrels of his shot-gun into Emmett's back. He dropped from his horse, carrying the sack containing over twenty thousand dollars with him, and both fell near the feet of Bob, who expired a moment thereafter." They tried to out do the James gang by robbing two banks at once.
Emmett was the only gang member to survive and was sentenced to life in prison but was pardoned after 14 years. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/daltons.htm

Seizing the opportunity, the CFC (Goonswarm Federation, Razor Alliance, Black Legion and the Initiative) and Russian Coalition (Solar Fleet, Darkness of Despair and Against ALL Authorities) captured the station.” All in all, 70 Titans were lost (Titans are the massive God ships within the EVE universe) which cost around $3000 a go. Along with the 70 Titans which were lost, 4,000 ships were lost in the vast space which adds up to approximately $284,500. When all came to an end, N3 and Pandemic lost roughly 40-50 titans while CFC, Rus, and co managed a slightly better 20-25. CFC won, but obviously not without some serious wounds to nurse. To explain to non gamer types. One player association was using an area to store their ships and supplies. Said area had a pay to protect barrier around it, they missed a payment and another Russian player association attacked them when their protection lapsed. What transpired was a battle that lasted almost 20 hours and cost nearly $300,000.00 in damages (U.S.) In game currency can be bought and sold for real life currency. They estimated the damages based off of the exchange rate. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d98/shadowsith331/WP65_zps26bfe88f.jpg Get out of the basement much?

The only thing the NG did wrong was firing over the heads of the crowd and not watching what was down range. But it sure did put a stop to the wilding. |

The totality of the images in this thread have reminded me that human beings are the most dangerous and vicious predators who walk the earth. And yet, the most noble. It is a conundrum.
Thanks to all who have posted. Pashtun Woman

Around 9:30 the morning of October 5, 1892 five members of the Dalton Gang (Grat Dalton, Emmett Dalton, Bob Dalton, Bill Power and Dick Broadwell) rode into the small town of Coffeyville, Kansas. Their objective was to achieve financial security and make outlaw history by simultaneously robbing two banks. From the beginning, their audacious plan went astray. The hitching post where they intended to tie their horses had been torn down due to road repairs. This forced the gang to hitch their horses in a near-by alley - a fateful decision. Emmett boldly rode back to where Bob Dalton was lying, and reaching down his hand, attempted to lift his dying brother on the horse with him. 'Its no use,' faintly whispered the fallen bandit, and just then Carey Seamen fired the contents of both barrels of his shot-gun into Emmett's back. He dropped from his horse, carrying the sack containing over twenty thousand dollars with him, and both fell near the feet of Bob, who expired a moment thereafter." They tried to out do the James gang by robbing two banks at once.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/treadhead/4582195513_866d49ae0f_z.jpg She has quite a story... “That was the goddamndest thing I ever saw anybody do in my life!" 
“That was the goddamndest thing I ever saw anybody do in my life! Do you realize – all the artillery and half the snipers on both sides of this f**king war had ten full minutes to make up their mind about you?” the furious lieutenant screamed at Dickey Chapelle. Chapelle had just finished taking a series of photographs from the top of a ridge at the frontline on the island of Iwo Jima. Her actual assignment was to photograph the use of whole blood and the activities of nurses onboard the USS Samaritan, the hospital ship her assignment confined her to. But Chapelle was determined to use her “woman’s angle” assignment to fulfill her professional dream – photographing combat from the frontlines. Despite repeatedly being told she was not to leave the ship, she persisted in asking to go ashore and finally convinced a press officer that the logical conclusion to her blood story was to go to a field hospital – well behind the front lines. Once she was ashore, she convinced the lieutenant to take her to the frontlines. Instead of what she had imagined to be the frontline, she finds a windswept sand dune. Realizing the photos of hills of sand would not be very impressive, she nevertheless makes a serious study of what she has been told is the frontline by taking photographs of each quadrant surrounding her, all the while swatting at the wasps buzzing her. After being returning to the safety of her tent, Chapelle’s bunkmate laughs at her description of swatting the wasps. “Those weren’t wasps. Those were sniper bullets. Iwo Jima is a volcanic island. There are no insects.” Chapelle, immediately thrilled, writes her report with the byline “Under Fire on Iwo Jima”. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Cahuenga
http://www.aztecclub.com/campo/campo2.htm The signing of the Capitualtion of Cahuenga occurred on January 13, 1847 on the kitchen table of the abandoned six-room adobe formerly occupied by Tomas Feliz and his family. Copies were signed in English and Spanish. Much to the chagrin of Gen. Kearny, his superior, Fremont gave Pico generous terms. Kearny lost an arm in battle against Pico's forces at San Pasqual, had fought hard to reach Los Angeles and no doubt had retribution on his mind. Among the seven terms of the agreement were stipulations that the laws of the United States would take effect immediately and that all members of Pico's brigade, unseen and unnumbered, would never again bear arms against the United States. The home, which is located at the base of Universal Studios, Universal Citywalk. They had a celebration 2 weeks ago, and we were looking for something to do. I had no idea this was the signing location.  |

Desperate helo evacuations from Vietnam. The pilot survived and was picked up. 
However, Major Buang-Ly managed a perfect landing in the proper zone. The Cessna touched down, bounced once and came to a stop almost to the bridge of the Midway. The crewmembers on deck immediately broke into wild cheering and they swarmed the small Cessna, clapping and congratulating the Major. Buang-Ly was then escorted to the Bridge of the Midway where Captain Chambers himself congratulated the Major for, "his outstanding airmanship and his bravery in risking everything on a gamble beyond the point of no return without knowing for certain a carrier would be where he needed it." The crewmembers of the Midway actually set up a fund to help the Major and his family settle in the United States. The Cessna can still be seen today in the aircraft museum in Pensacola, Florida. Major Buang holds the honor of being the first VNAF fixed-wing pilot to ever land on a carrier. Reports state another Cessna O-1 was also recovered by the USS Midway that afternoon. But details on that event are vague. 
A photo of Captain Chambers and Major Buang-Ly meeting at a Reunion onboard the USS Midway, 35 years after the landing.
