What is the world coming to these days?

I came across these 2 articles last week but I decided to post about the ACC tournament instead. I know it’s Monday and I don’t want to start off anyone’s week on a somber note, but take a look at these two depressing acts of mankind:

Man kills a 12 foot tiger shark in the Gulf of Mexico to “save a friend.”

Man killed girlfriend in fight over beer and tried to have sex with her corpse, Fort Lauderdale police say. (glad I call this place my home)

First let’s address this tiger shark story… Initially, I was in completely onboard with diver Craig Clasen’s actions in killing the sea monster to save his friend, film maker Ryan McInnis. However, now I am wondering if he was even being “saved” at all. I know these were professional photographers down there and they were taking still-images, but seriously — look at those pictures! Really? You have time to do all that? And how in the world do you battle a shark alone for over 2 hours anyway? There is CLEARLY a boat nearby and they are clearly right below the surface…the dude is wearing a snorkel after all–not a scuba tank! So I guess he couldn’t fend off the beast and get out of the water and into the boat?? Why must you crocodile Dundee wrestle this creature to death? Again, don’t get me wrong… if I was being circled by a 12 foot Tiger shark, I would want the help of a more experienced diver to protect me — but NOT to unnecessarily murder death kill the thing for no reason.

Now onto the even more grossly disturbing article. This 41 year old moron brilliantly decided to kill his woman after she told him he couldn’t have more beer and then tell the police that he didn’t know her, followed by  “OK, all right. I did it. I killed her,” the arrest report said. Wow, that must have been a hard police interrogation to give up a confession that quick right? Then again, we are talking about someone dumb enough to actually murder their girlfriend and unsuccessfully have intercourse with her afterward because she told him that he couldn’t have any more beer.  So many things are mind-boggling (What seems to be your boggle?) and gut-wrenching about this article. I hope this dude gets the chair or decides to just killself later after what he did. In the future though ladies, it’s just not worth it to try and come between a man and his beer — just start running.
