"On 6 March 1981, the third day of the trial, Marianne Bachmeier smuggled a Beretta 70 into the courtroom of Lübeck District Court and shot the confessed killer of her daughter, Klaus Grabowski, in the back. She aimed the gun at Grabowski's back and pulled the trigger eight times. Seven of the shots hit him, and the 35-year-old defendant was killed almost instantly... Four months after the opening of proceedings she was convicted on 2 March 1983 by the Circuit Court Chamber of the District Court Lübeck for manslaughter and sentenced for unlawful possession of a firearm to six years in prison but was later released after serving three years"

Never heard that story. But the video must be a reenactment. Even with the realistic looking reaction of the background extras.

It’s fascinating that in the 1920s a man who was going to walk out on beams on an impossibly high skyscraper would wear a tie and dress shoes.
Man we suck compared to that generation.

Hmm, I will have to think about that. I read somewhere that there are now more people alive than ever have died.
For example

We have a less picturesque version of that, burning since you were in middle school.

Have you been there?
I have.
Probably the closest you can get to what Hell smells like.
When I was there, there was a decent layer of snow on the ground. ...Except for the patches where the sulfur was heating up the ground, which was about half the town. That was bare.
