What Happened?
On Valentine's Day 2018, during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, 15 year old Anthony Borges heroically used himself as a human shield by gaurding and holding a door closed to protect his classmates from the gunfire. On this day, having been credited to have saved 20 class members, ³ he was shot 5 times..Taking hits to the lungs, abdomen, and his legs. Here, and here he shows the scars that remained. In total, 17 people died that day..3 of which were staff members.
Hospitalization + Recovery
Due to the severity of his injuries, he had to undergo 14 surgeries to repair the damage. There were also complications from the bullet wound where he suffered a severe intestinal infection which was ultimately treated. I unfortunately was unable to find what kind of surgeries he underwent and the exact amount, according to this source written in July 2022, Anthony confirmed he had at least 14 surgeries [5] and will require a lifetime of treatment and healing.
The extent of his injuries greatly impacted his life, having caused him to have to relearn even the simplest of tasks.
“It was like being born [again] … being a baby. Having to learn to walk, to redo everything,” he says. “I don't have words to describe how hard is [the] past. Every day was painful.” [10]
During his hospitalization, he was visited by XXXTentacion

recovery!!
Anthony's condition continues to improve and he aspires to be able to play soccer again after his recovery. He hopes to take his passion for soccer to the next step and play professionally!
"My goal is walking better," he said. "Run again. Because I want to play soccer. That's my goal." [4]
I believe the circle was from his colostomy bag which was removed around December of 2018 according to this source [10]
Lawsuits
Anthony being wheeled into the courtroom
Because of his injuries, Anthony Borges sued Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz for assault and battery. The lawsuit stated they were seeking at least $15k in damages and for medical expenses, but will likely be requesting more. [7] Unfortunately, i was unable to find more info on the lawsuit.
On top of the lawsuit against Cruz, he planned to sue the Florida School District for negligence and failure to protect the students which led to great bodily harm. The separate lawsuit to further fund Anthony came only 2 days after a separate settlement of $25 million going to the 17 victims families, being unknown the amount each would be getting, it was said he was to be given an additional $1.5 million due to his injuries, but still had went ahead with a separate lawsuit [7]. It was stated that the severity and impact of his injuries will require further pay than what was initially given.
"The failure of Broward County Public Schools, and of the principal and school resource officer to adequately protect students, and in particular our client, from life-threatening harm, were unreasonable, callous and negligent" lawyer Alex Arreaza wrote in a letter dated on Monday. [2]
To further support the lawsuit, it was stated
"Due to his condition," the letter states, Borges "is currently unable to walk and has a great deal of difficulty performing rudimentary tasks for himself, requiring assistance constantly." [2]
"One of the problems that he still has is one of his feet he doesn't have full function in his toes, so they have some more work to do with the ligaments. He's not able to do what he loved to do, [that] triggers the PTSD and creates those problems," said Arreaza. [9]
The end goal of his lawsuits against Cruz and the Florida School District was to get the full truth out and to try and ensure something like this doesn't happen again.
"I don't know why I survived," the statement read, "but I will tell you that my family and I will dedicate the rest of our lives to seeing that something like this never happens again." [8]
Anthony revealing his scars to the court
Cruz was charged with and pled guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder and was given life without parole. The families wanted him to face the death penalty as a way for the victim's families to seek justice, but courts decided against it.

Ed Gein was born on August 27th 1906 and died on July 26th 1984
Victims: 2 murders confirmed, 7 murders suspected, 9 corpses mutilated.
Crimes: on the morning of November 16th, 1957 the owner of Plainfield hardware store Bernice worden disappeared. The hardware store's truck was seen driving out from the rear of the building at around 9:30 a.m. The hardware store saw few customers the entire day; some area residents believed that this was because of deer hunting season. Worden's son, Deputy Sheriff Frank Worden, entered the store around 5:00 p.m. to find the cash register open and blood stains on the floor. 
Frank Worden told investigators that on the evening before his mother's disappearance, Gein had been in the store and was to have returned the next morning for a gallon of antifreeze. A sales slip for the antifreeze was the last receipt written by Worden on the morning that she disappeared. That evening, Gein was arrested at a West Plainfield grocery store, and the Waushara County Sheriff's Department searched the Gein farm.
A sheriff's deputy discovered Worden's decapitated body in a shed on Gein's property, hung upside down by her legs with a crossbar at her ankles and ropes at her wrists. The torso was "dressed out like a deer". She had been shot with a .22-caliber rifle, and the mutilations were made after her death. Searching the house, authorities found.
Some of the things they found: Whole human bones and fragments
A wastebasket made of human skin
Human skin covering several chairs
Skulls on his bedposts
Female skulls, some with the tops sawn off
Bowls made from human skulls
A corset made from a female torso skinned from shoulders to waist
Leggings made from human leg skin
Masks made from the skin of female heads
Mary Hogan's face mask in a paper bag
Mary Hogan's skull in a box
Bernice Worden's entire head in a burlap sack
Bernice Worden's heart "in a plastic bag in front of Gein's potbelly stove"
Nine vulvae in a shoe box
A belt made from female human nipples
Four noses
A pair of lips on a window shade drawstring
A lampshade made from the skin of a human face
Fingernails from female fingers
A female human nipple doorbell. 
These artifacts were photographed at the state crime laboratory and then "decently disposed of". When questioned, Gein told investigators that between 1947 and 1952, he had made as many as forty nocturnal visits to three local graveyards to exhume recently buried bodies while he was in a "daze-like" state. On about thirty of those visits, he said that he came out of the daze while in the cemetery, left the grave in good order and returned home empty handed. On the other occasions, he dug up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother and took the bodies home, where he tanned their skins to make his paraphernalia
Gein admitted to stealing from nine graves and led investigators to their locations. Allan Wilimovsky of the state crime laboratory participated in opening three test graves identified by Gein. The caskets were inside wooden boxes; the top boards ran crossways (not lengthwise). The tops of the boxes were about two feet (61 centimeters) below the surface in sandy soil. Gein had robbed the graves soon after the funerals while the graves were not completed. The test graves were exhumed because authorities were uncertain as to whether the slight Gein was capable of single-handedly digging up a grave during a single evening; they were found as Gein described: one casket was empty; another casket contained Gein's crowbar; and the final casket saw most of the body missing, yet Gein had returned rings and some body parts.Thus, Gein's confession was largely corroborated.
Soon after his mother's death, Gein began to create a "woman suit" so that "he could become his mother—to literally crawl into her skin". He denied having sex with the bodies he exhumed, explaining: "They smelled too bad." During state crime laboratory interrogation, Gein also admitted to shooting 51-year-old Mary Hogan, a tavern owner missing since December 8, 1954, whose head was found in his house, but he later denied memory of details of her death. During questioning, Sheriff Art Schley reportedly assaulted Gein by banging his head and face into a brick wall. As a result, Gein's initial confession was ruled inadmissible. Schley died of heart failure in 1968 at age 43, before Gein's trial. Many who knew Schley said he was traumatized by the horror of Gein's crimes and this, along with the fear of having to testify (especially about assaulting Gein), caused his death 
Ed geins death: Gein died at the Mendota Mental Health Institute due to respiratory failure secondary to lung cancer on July 26, 1984, at the age of 77. Over the years, souvenir seekers chipped pieces from his gravestone at the Plainfield Cemetery, until the stone itself was stolen in 2000. It was recovered in June 2001, near Seattle, Washington, and was placed in storage at the Waushara County Sheriff's Department. The gravesite itself is now unmarked, but not unknown; Gein is interred between his parents and brother in the cemetery. 
I've been seeing a lot of ppl do true crime things so I'd thought I'd do one ! Lemme know if you liked it :3

THIS IS NOT MY WRITE UP!! The rest is! 
On April 16, 2017, 74-year-old Robert Lee Godwin Sr. (September 7, 1942 – April 16, 2017) was shot and killed with a firearm while walking in the Glenville neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The perpetrator, identified as 37-year-old Steve Stephens, posted a cellphone video of the shooting on his Facebook account, leading many media outlets, both during the manhunt and afterward, to dub Stephens the "Facebook killer". A warrant was issued for Stephens for aggravated murder. Two days later, he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound when cornered by police in Erie County, Pennsylvania.
The shooting happened at around 2:00 p.m. EDT on April 16, 2017 (Easter Sunday), in the 600 block of East 93rd Street in Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood. Stephens uploaded a video of the event. Seconds before the shooting, Stephens exited his car, approached the victim and then asked Godwin to say the name of a woman with whom Stephens had been in a romantic relationship. Stephens then said "She's the reason why this is about to happen to you", before fatally shooting Godwin, who fell to the ground after he was shot. Facebook said the video was uploaded to the website after the fact, not livestreamed as initially reported. In other Facebook posts, Stephens claimed responsibility for 13 murders, but police said they were not aware of any other victims.
A search for Stephens began soon after the shooting, prompting lockdowns at a number of locations, including Cleveland State University. Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams told reporters that detectives talked with Stephens by cellphone shortly after the shooting, but had no further contact with him since that time. The manhunt expanded to other states on the morning of April 17. Residents in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, and Michigan were asked to be on alert, and a US$50,000 reward was offered for information leading to Stephens' arrest on a charge of aggravated murder. The FBI also aided the Cleveland Police Department.
At 11:10 a.m. on April 18, Stephens pulled into the drive-through lane of a McDonald's restaurant in Harborcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, 100 miles (160 km) from the location of the shooting. An employee recognized Stephens from news reports and, after verifying with fellow employees, provided Stephens with part of his order, but stalled him by stating that his fries were still cooking. During this time police were called to the restaurant. Stephens, wary, left without his fries.
As Stephens pulled out of the restaurant, state police gave chase heading westbound through Wesleyville, Pennsylvania. Stephens made it to the corner of Buffalo Road and Downing Avenue in the city of Erie, where Pennsylvania State Police successfully executed a tactical maneuver to bring the car to a stop. As police approached Stephens' car, he shot himself in the head and died instantly.

Introduction
Many of you have probably already seen this video, usually accompanied by a brief explanation. However, thanks to a newly released Netflix documentary a lot of information about the case and the nature of the psychosis which caused it has come out. For those who don't wish to sit through true-crime slop, I've decided to condense all the important information here.
The Deceased
In the video, you are seeing the Chundawat family. An extended family unit of 11 people who had been living in a three story house at the Burari Sant Nagar Neighborhood in India. They primarily consisted of the descendents of Narayani Dev (80) and her deceased husband, Bhopal Singh, who died in 2007. A few inlaws also occupied the house. The eradication of this family unit covered 3 different generations, ranging from the 15 year old Shivam, to the 80 year old Narayani Devi.
The family were quite prosperous for the standards of their town. They ran 2 popular convenience stores, one of the sons (Lalit) owned a successful Plywood business, and one of the daughters (Privkaya) had a well paying job with a multinational company and was soon to be married. The family were also religiously devout, with neighbours claiming the family would go and visit the local temple twice a day. They were also well liked with their community with one of their neighbours, Gurcharan Singh, claiming he got along with them very well as the families helped each other build their houses all the way back in 1997. It was this same neighbour that would discover the family's corpses.
(July 1st, 2018) During his morning walk, Gurcharan Singh noticed the family failed to take in a large box a milk that was sent in every morning for one of their stores. By 7:00AM the milk was spoiling and he decided to check up on the family to let them know. He knocked on their front door, only to discover it was unlocked, he let himself in and climbed up the stairs where he saw the horrific sight. He recounts standing there for 2 minutes in shock.
As he ran out of the house, he was unable to hide his panic from the neighbours and the entire area soon found out something horrible had happened. In minutes, the house was swarmed by the local community before the police arrived, it is thought that the video we see here was taken by one of the neighbours who entered the house before the police could barre the entrance.
Voices from the Dead
The reasoning for the death was soon found out thanks to a number of diaries scattered around the house dating back to 2007, as well as testimony from neighbours and extended family members. The diaries details over a decade of mounting mass delusion in the household, where they all believed they were being guided by the spirit of their dead patriarch, Bhopal Singh, who used his son Lalit as a medium.
The foundation for this mass delusion however, began in 2004 before Bhopal Singh's death. In 2004, Lalit was attacked for unknown reasons as he was working in his plywood store. He was beaten badly and was stuck inside the store after it was set on fire. He suffered a head injury, and the smoke he inhaled as he lay there half-conscious, destroyed his voice making it so he could not speak at all.
However, after the death of his father he heard his voice speak to him. It commanded the entire family to recite the “Hanuman Chalisa” every day at 10:00PM. Soon the voice extended the routine to a few times a day. For months the family would gather to recite this hymn. One day however, the family were shocked when they suddenly heard Lalit's voice mixed in with theirs, Lalit was not even aware his voice had returned until he finished the hymn and saw the shocked look on his family's faces. It was most likely this miracle that would instil the devotion that would spiral into mass delusion.
Lalit did not stop hearing his dead fathers voice after his own voice was restored however. He continued to hear his father give him and the family instructions on how they could conduct their lives. The diaries were not a personal diary for Lalit, but rather, acted as a guidebook for the entire family where they were expected to read and follow what was written within it. Here are some excerpts from the diary showing the level of obedience that was expected from the family.
”After I leave, all of you must go to sleep. No need for discussions. My visits are not an ordinary occurrence. You must not take God's will lightly. Don't worry about Lalit's health, my visits affect him physically. Sleep will heal him.”
and
”Instead of your own will follow the will of the diary. ‘Don't think, what is the use?' When it actually happens, your eyes will open. My next visit will be on Thursday or Saturday. Be fully ready.”
Neighbours recount how after their fathers death, the families shops and businesses started prospering, and Priyanka got her well paying job. In hindsight, people believe that the family may have attributed their recent prosperity to the instructions of their dead father. As Lalit was to act as the medium for their patriarchs instructions, he soon became an authority figure in the household, with their neighbour Chander Metha noting
“The family considered his word final.” and his wife Pritpal Kaur adding “Whatever he said was obeyed by all.”
Most of the instructions were quite inane. Telling family members to stop fighting, telling one of the children to stop playing on their phone so much, for example
December 24, 2017 “Dhruv is spending too much time on the mobile phone. This must be corrected.”
However one day, the voice would demand something that cost the family their lives.
The Banyan Tree Ritual
Within the diary, the ritual that would be performed and eventually lead to the family's death was detailed. Written on June 24th, 2018 the instructions detailed a ritual wherein the families were to tie their necks to an iron grate in the family courtyard while someone else was entrusted with blindfolding, gagging, and tying their hands together. They were to stand atop stools, and recite some sort of chant as Lalit watched on, prompting them with a stick. The ritual is called “the Banyan Tree ritual” as the hanging bodies would resemble the hanging roots of a Banyan tree. The most direct reference to the ritual from the diaries I could find are quoted here.
”Perform the ritual for seven consecutive days. If somebody visits the home it has to be performed the next day. Nothing should be visible. Dim lights should be used. The eyes should be completely shut. The blindfold should be properly tied to the eyes. The mouth should be gagged by a handkerchief. The state of mind has to be zero. Nothing but infinity. While you are standing at attention. Imagine the branches of the tree are wrapping themselves around you. Perform the Banyan tree ritual with unity and determination. This will help repent for your mistakes”*
Later on in the same entry
”God is pleased with you. Knowing that 11 of you are standing in one line, with one thought. Do not panic while performing the Banyan tree ritual. The earth might shake, the sky might tremble. Do not let this weaken your resolve. Convince the children to keep chanting. The chanting may last from 5-15 minutes. Till the chanting lasts, Lalit will protect all of you. The responsibility of tying you up is assigned to one of you. When the binds are secured, Lalit will give a signal with a stick. Place a tumbler full of water nearby, just as the colour of the water changes, I will come back.”*
The diary also mentions
“"everyone will tie their own hands and when the kriya (ritual) is done then everyone will help each other untie their hands"”*
CCTV footage showed family members going out and buying the stools and wires that would be used in the ritual, the youngest of them (Shivam) being among them, this of course implies that the family were once again, simply following Lalit and the voices in his head out of a sense of devotion and trust.
The Bodies
Ten of the eleven bodies in the house were found strung up in the courtyard, 5 stools stood under their feet, presumed to be shared by each of the family members, their faces covered in a cloth cut from a single bedsheet. Signs of struggle had been found on multiple family members. Evident by the bruises on their wrists as they struggled with the wires that binded them as they hung and choked, the bruises on their shins as they seemed to kick against the floor and stools, and Bhuvnesh(52) freed his hands and died trying to untie the noose, his hands still grasping the cloth even in death. Narayani Devi (80) was found on the floor, dead. It appeared her noose was tied to a doorknob nearby. The only surviving member would be Tommy, the family pet who was chained to the terrace. He would die only weeks later from heart failure in an animal shelter.
Suicide, Murder, or Accident
Now, knowing what we know, it's still difficult to pinpoint the exact nature of their deaths. From what I can gauge there are only 3 possibilities, and I'll be laying out each of them here.
Suicide
This seems to be the most popular theory from people who have heard the case or seen the video. I also think it's the most unlikely, I think people believe it was a mass suicide simply because, well, what's going to be your first thought when you see 11 people hanging from nooses? I find this hard to believe though. The clear signs of struggles seem to eliminate this possibility, but even moreso, the fact that Privkaya was set to marry soon also makes it seem less likely she'd be willing to abandon her husband. The dog being tied to the ceiling. Most importantly of course, was the diary detailing what was to happen after the ritual was concluded, meaning that it was not meant to end in everybody's death.
Murder
I think it's possible that as the ritual happened, Lalit may have purposefully failed to untie the family as they hung there knowing that they would die. Perhaps he deceived them into normalizing the ritual by having them perform it a few times, having them go over it in the diaries, to set up a sort of mass suicide unbeknownst to them. One key piece of evidence is the body of Narayani Devi, who was of course found dead on the floor. Perhaps she was strangled as she refused to participate in the ritual. Lalit was seemingly the last person to be bound, as he was the one responsible for prompting the chants with a stick as well as the one who was to “protect” them during the ritual. It certainly seems possible that he could have used this role in the ritual to murder the family, to fulfil some ritualistic purpose he was keeping secret.
Accident
Tying your neck to a noose, supported by flimsy stools that you were sharing with other people. It's not hard to imagine that something could go wrong. It's possible that as Lalit participated in the ritual, his foot fell off the stool and he broke his neck. As a subsequent result, he was unable to help the other family members and they soon succumbed to choking. Perhaps a stool fell over and one of them panicked, kicking over all the other stools. Narayni Devi, may have been tied to the doorknob, and succumbed to exhaustion and died. She may have fell to the floor after the noose loosened on it's own or snapped. It makes sense she was strung up separate from the family, as her old age and arthritis would have made it difficult to join them.
Conclusion
The deaths represent a horrific case of mass psychosis. If you're more of the spiritual type, perhaps you may think demons or evil spirits tricked the poor family into dying horrific deaths. The more I read some of the stories on this site, the more I start to believe such things are possible. I think the possibility of an accident or murder is the most likely, but I'm willing to give the slight edge to the fact it was an accident seeing as how dangerous the ritual was, and how easily an accident could have occurred.
I apologize for any inconsistencies, a lot of the news stories are painfully undetailed, and the documentary is a bit sensationalist and is not as thorough in regards to the cold hard facts as I wish they were. Any mistakes I made could also be the result of basic human error.
May the Chundawat family rest in peace.

Little first facts about him
Lonnie David Franklin Jr., known as the Grim Sleeper, was an American serial killer operating in Los Angeles, California. His killing spree, spanning from the 1980s to the early 2000s, earned him the nickname due to long periods of dormancy between murders. He was convicted of ten murders and one attempted murder, but it's believed he may have been responsible for more crimes. Franklin primarily targeted young African-American women, often involved in drugs or sex work.
His case brought scrutiny to police handling of marginalized communities' cases. In 2010, Franklin was arrested, and in 2016, he was sentenced to death.
He was an African-American man born on August 30, 1952. He stood approximately 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm) tall and weighed around 225 pounds (102 kg).
Regarding his family, Franklin was married and had children. He lived in Los Angeles, California, where he worked as a mechanic and sanitation worker.
Thats him in the court
His act
He killed and abused 11 women
The victims of the Grim Sleeper were primarily African American women who were vulnerable due to factors such as homelessness, substance abuse, or involvement in sex work. Their names are:
1. Debra Jackson
2. Henrietta Wright
3. Barbara Ware
4. Bernita Sparks
5. Mary Lowe
6. Lachrica Jefferson
7. Alicia Alexander
8. Princess Berthomieux
9. Valerie McCorvey
10. Janecia Peters
11. Mary Lowe
These women were tragically targeted and became victims of Franklin's violent crimes.
here is a picture of them
How he got caught + Informations
Lonnie David Franklin Jr., was ultimately caught through advancements in forensic DNA analysis and the diligent work of law enforcement agencies.
In 2010, LAPD detectives investigating a series of unsolved murders connected to the Grim Sleeper case obtained a DNA sample from Franklin's son, Christopher, who had been arrested on an unrelated felony charge. The DNA sample collected from Christopher was analyzed and found to share genetic similarities with DNA evidence recovered from the crime scenes linked to the Grim Sleeper.
This breakthrough led investigators to Lonnie David Franklin Jr. They conducted surveillance on him, which included collecting items containing his DNA, such as a discarded pizza crust and utensils from a restaurant. When the DNA from these items matched the DNA evidence from the crime scenes, Franklin was arrested in July 2010.
During the subsequent investigation, authorities found further evidence, including photographs and personal belongings of the victims, at Franklin's home. In 2016, Lonnie David Franklin Jr. was convicted of ten counts of murder and one count of attempted murder and sentenced to death.
His death in 2020 while awaiting execution marked the end of a chapter in one of Los Angeles' most infamous criminal cases.
documentary I prefer to watch:
Ik its damn long but its worth it, trust me
Ending
The grim sleeper is very known in the US and his acts are still fascinating and brutal.
And remember, him and Grim Reaper are not the same Person haha

The Battle of Attu was a significant confrontation during World War II, occurring in May 1943. Attu, a part of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, was strategically important for both the United States and Japan due to its proximity to the northern Pacific Ocean. The Japanese had occupied Attu and nearby islands in June 1942, as part of their campaign to expand into the Aleutians and divert American attention away from the Pacific theater.
The battle to reclaim Attu began on May 11, 1943, when American forces landed on the island. The harsh weather conditions and rugged terrain made the operation extremely challenging. The Japanese defenders, numbering around 2,900, were well-entrenched and prepared to fight to the death.
During the Battle of Attu, one of the most dramatic moments occurred when the Japanese defenders launched a desperate and ferocious banzai charge against the advancing American forces. Though ultimately unsuccessful, the banzai charge underscored the unwavering resolve and commitment to duty among Japanese forces, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
The battle lasted for nearly three weeks, characterized by fierce combat in difficult conditions. American forces faced challenges not only from the Japanese but also from the unforgiving Arctic weather and treacherous terrain. Despite these obstacles, the American troops gradually gained ground, pushing the Japanese defenders back.
On May 29, 1943, the American forces finally secured victory, but at a high cost. The battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, with over 2,100 Japanese soldiers killed and only 28 taken prisoner. American casualties numbered over 500 killed and more than 1,000 wounded.

The Battle of Attu was one of the deadliest engagements of the Pacific theater, but its significance extended beyond the battlefield. It marked the first time since the War of 1812 that American soil had been invaded and occupied by a foreign power. The successful recapture of Attu by American forces boosted morale and demonstrated the resolve of the Allies in the Pacific campaign.
