“Rape and murder… it’s just a kiss away!” - Stones; “Gimme Shelter”

Reports are that Russian troops are looting and raping as they go through Georgia, and in typical ethnic cleansing style, separating men and boys from the women.  These are war crimes white people expect maybe in Rawanda or some remote third world country - but not from a westernized caucasian society… right?  NO!  This is what war is and does… and how bigger ones develop.

“Behind them, according to people fleeing those villages, came a militia army of Chechen and Ossetian volunteers who had joined up with the regular Russian army. The volunteers embarked on an orgy of looting, burning, murdering and rape, witnesses claimed, adding that the irregulars had carried off young girls and men.” - Source 

The world has learned absolutely nothing from “never again” events such as the holocaust or the atomic bombings of Japan, and every other ethnic cleansing war since.

Have a nice day.  

Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

“Willingly accept every opportunity for humbling yourself.  Don’t be offended at a harsh word, an imperious tone of voice, not being respected as much as you would like to be.  Welcome occasions of being disregarded and humiliated, first with patience, then willingly, without raising any difficulties, and finally with joy.”  - St. Maximilian Kolbe
