Lunatics galore for September...
from Sly News

A gunman posing as a policeman has killed at least 14 people when he stormed a Swiss regional government building.

The man entered the Swiss local assembly around 10.30am in the notrh-eastern town of Zug, about 20km south of Zurich. Three members of the Zug local government were among those killed.

The offender, who had reportedly lodged an appeal with the local assembly, is believed to have used guns and hand grenades, which blew a door off its hinges.

In between shots, he was believed to have demanded that members of the assembly consider a proposal he had put before them.

Years ago murders were a rarity. Not a day goes past withou some kind of tragic death being reported.

One of the worst things that happened this week was the case of the man who was burnt alive in Gateshead. The 46 year old married man had taken in a homeless bloke (in his 20s). Anyway from what I can gather the bloke had £500 that he was going to by an old car with and the drifter wanted it. When he didn't get it he doused him in petrol and set him alight. He then danced around the streets telling people he met that he'd set someone on fire. Some lads seeing the smoke and hearing the screams went to see what was happening. They couldn't believe that it was a real man onfire untill they saw theburning blood pouring from the poor soul. The nutter even went to the house of the man to tell his family where he was and what he'd done.

The story barely made the papers ...... What a wicked world we live in.
