So yeah. A rather scary idea.

Police say a villager in southwest China killed his parents and then 17 neighbors in an attempt to cover up his crime, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.

An investigation found that Yang Qingpei argued with his parents over money on Wednesday evening and killed them, Xinhua said. Fearing he would be identified as the killer, he then murdered 17 neighbors in the village of Yema, it said, citing police in southwestern Yunnan province where the village is located.

Xinhua didn’t say how Yang, who is 26 or 27, allegedly killed the villagers.

He was arrested in the provincial capital of Kunming, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) away, on Thursday, a few hours after the bodies from different households were discovered.

The deaths are one of the bloodiest mass slayings in recent years in China, where deadly random attacks on schools and public transport have been blamed on people bearing grudges against their families, neighbors or society in general.

Because firearms are tightly controlled in China, mass killings are usually carried out with knives, poison, homemade explosives or by arson.

>Donald Trump’s charitable foundation — which has been sustained for years by donors outside the Trump family — has never obtained the certification that New York requires before charities can solicit money from the public, according to the state attorney general’s office.

>Under the laws in New York, where the Donald J. Trump Foundation is based, any charity that solicits more than $25,000 a year from the public must obtain a special kind of registration beforehand. Charities as large as Trump’s must also submit to a rigorous annual audit that asks — among other things — whether the charity spent any money for the personal benefit of its officers.


....


>Tax filings show that in each of the past 10 years for which there are records, the Trump Foundation raised more than $25,000 from outsiders. Tax records alone do not reveal whether the donations amounted to solicitations under New York law, but in several cases there is strong evidence that they did.

>For instance, the foundation has received more than $2.3 million from companies that owed money to Trump or one of his businesses — but that were instructed to pay the foundation instead, according to people familiar with those transactions.

>In the most obvious example of a public solicitation, the Trump Foundation set up a website early this year to collect small-dollar donations that it promised to pass along to veterans. In all, the website said, the Trump Foundation took in $1.67 million through that site.

>In June, we told you about the rape lawsuit filed anonymously against both Donald Trump and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. One week later, we explained why, given the presence of a witness, the case should be taken seriously, and in August, we explored how this and two other rape allegations against Trump have been roundly ignored by TV news media. Last month, the civil suit had been withdrawn for some reason, but, on Friday, “Jane Doe v. Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein” had been refiled, and, this time, another witness has been added to the legal complaint.

>The complaint alleges four separate assaults by Trump and three by Epstein, after being “enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of parties, with other similarly situated minor females, held at a New York City residence.”

>In addition to the graphic details of the rapes, one particularly horrifying allegation is that after the first time Trump raped the plaintiff and threatened her family, Epstein immediately raped her again

>Trump’s attorney has denied the existence of any relationship between [Trump and Epstein], even though the Republican presidential nominee told New York Magazine in 2002 that Epstein is “a terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women as much as I do,” while admitting that “many of them are on the younger side.”

>David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, embarked on a campaign on Friday to seek a United States Senate seat as a Republican in Louisiana, where he will try to capitalize on his history of inflammatory speech and on the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump.

>The decision by Mr. Duke, a former state representative whose unsuccessful campaigns include bids for Congress, governor and president, thrust him into a sprawling field for the Senate seat and intensified what was already poised to be a raucous race.

>But before Mr. Duke could even file his qualifying paperwork in Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, Republicans there and in Washington were distancing themselves from a campaign they plainly expected to be marked by racism and anti-Semitism.

>“I believe in equal rights for all and respect for all Americans,” Mr. Duke said in a campaign video. “However, what makes me different is I also demand respect for the rights and the heritage of European Americans.”

>An agency within the Health and Human Services Department on Wednesday issued a rule that bars any nursing home that receives federal funding from requiring that its residents resolve any disputes in arbitration, instead of court.

>The rule, which would affect nursing homes with 1.5M residents, promises to deliver major new protections. Clauses embedded in the fine print of nursing home admissions contracts have pushed disputes about safety and the quality of care out of public view.

>The system has helped the nursing home industry reduce its legal costs, but it has stymied the families of nursing home residents from getting justice, even in the case of murder.

>A case involving a 100-year-old woman who was found murdered in a nursing home, strangled by her roommate, was initially blocked from court. So was a case brought by the family of a 94-year-old woman who died at a nursing home in Murrysville, Pa., from a head wound.

>The nursing home industry reacted strongly against the change. Mark Parkinson, the president and chief executive of the American Health Care Association, a trade group, said in a statement on Wednesday that the change on arbitration “clearly exceeds” the agency’s statutory authority and was “wholly unnecessary to protect residents’ health and safety.”

>The new rule on arbitration came after officials in 16 states and the District of Columbia urged the government to cut off funding to nursing homes that use the clauses, arguing that arbitration kept patterns of wrongdoing hidden from prospective residents and their families.

>It is the most significant overhaul of the agency’s rules governing federal funding of long-term care facilities in more than two decades.

>In May, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unveiled the draft of a rule that would prevent credit card companies and other financial firms from using arbitration clauses that bar consumers from banding together in a class-action lawsuit.

I don't know if my soul is corrupt enough to do this, but... I'm getting an idea to creat myself a fake SJW persona who will angrily insist that what happened to Harambe was for the best, not for any fault of the gorilla, but, that the entire species should be put down because of the fact cis, white people have been using the term 'ape or gorilla' to insult black people for generations, and that the very concept of large apes has been irrevocably tainted by that slander. Animals are wonderful, but, people's feelings matter more, yadda yadda yadda, bla blah blah bloo, I'd gigure out more believable phrasing for it if I actually tried to pull it off.
