Killed about 70 people. Was a far right Norwegian terrorist. Detonated a bomb and then went on a shooting rampage.

I looked up his wikipedia and vaguely remember the van bombing attack but not so much the mass shooting at the camp afterwards.

I just remember that he's living in a cushy prison area that doesn't seem like what we have here in the states.

Yep, after detonating bombs in Oslo, he went after young people/teenagers at a camp organized by one of our political parties.

He was dressed as a police man and had an assault rifle (among other things), I believe. The camp was at an island, so to get away, kids had to either swim or get rescued by boat.

Right wing nutbag.

Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering seven babies on a neonatal unit, making her the UK's most prolific child serial killer in modern times.

The 33-year-old has also been convicted of trying to kill six other infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

Letby deliberately injected babies with air, force fed others milk and poisoned two of the infants with insulin.

She refused to appear in the dock for the latest verdicts.

So friggin crazy. Absolutely batshit.

The last news I saw about her was they think she might have had dozens more victims, only those babies were just hurt / tortured and didn't die and so went under the radar until investigators started looking into happenings tied to her work hours.

That handwritten note from that article, it's clear she was morally conflicted about her actions. What the hell? If you don't like torturing and killing newborns, just stop?

Would like to read a typewritten version of that note as it's hard to make out her handwriting 🤔

There's zero chance it's real

But I respect writing up a two year old reddit post into a story. The gold standard for gutter journalism

It's really not that far-removed from the more common 'unnamed/anonymous sources say...'

Biden having a Trump moment, except it is worse because you expect a lot better from him...and he knows that but does it anyway.

It won't be worse for him politically because most people won't hear about it. And Hawaii (the only group of people who'll even remember the gaffe by General Election day) will still vote for Biden en masse if Trump is the GOP nominee.

Biden is thick as mince so I don't expect better from him I just expect him to get a pass for it because he's not Trump.
