  1. A crazy man attacked a Swedish school last Thursday. Usually there are school shootings, but this attack was with a sword. The police believe that his attack was an act of racism, because the victim's all had foreign nationalities, and they found things in his home that led them to believe that. Two people died from the attack (a teacher and a student) and many others were injured. When the police arrived they shot the attacker and he died later in a hospital.

  2. There was at least 43 people found dead on a charter bus in the southern part of France. It was a head on collision between the bus and a flat-bed truck. 41 of the people that died were on the charter bus, most of them were elderly people. The driver of the truck was with his 3 year old son and they both died. The President, François Hollande, called it a "great tragedy" and promised the families to have a fast and well thought through investigation.

    there it is right here ^^^

    Some kid and his pop were climbing a mountain when there was an "accident", which resulted in the death of the father. The boy was rescued by helicopter several hours later, with minor hypothermia. What happened exactly? My theory is this: communist feminists. Brilliant, I know.

    This came from BBC. Oh, and this happened in the French Alps.

  5. So even though the news has stopped on this migrants problem. Doesn't mean it isn't still a problem so The United Nations are accusing the Czech Republic an mid east european country for violating migrant rights. Because they are holding onto migrants for long periods of time in bad conditions.
