Jodi Arias and her boyfriend Travis Alexander had a turbulent relationship marked by possessive tendencies and violent outbursts. On June 4th, 2008, their on/off relationship came to an end in the most tragic way possible: Jodi took Travis’ life in a gruesome attack.

While showering, Jodi took several pictures of her lover in a seemingly romantic way. Moments after the pictures were taken, Jodi stàbbed him over 25 times and then shot him in the head.

After missing several important meetings at work, Travis’ concerned friends went to his apartment and found him lifeless in the shower, surrounded by blòod. Jodi Arias was arrested 6 days later and showed no remorse for the senseless slaughter of Travis.

On September 17th, 1963, Thomas Blanton - a KKK member- planted over a dozen sticks of dynamite in the basement of a Black church. The church was full of children who were attending a Sunday School Class.

When the dynamite exploded, the small church stood no chance. 22 people were injured and, tragically, four children died. They were Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14), and Carol Denise McNair (11). The pastor had to dig through the rubble to retrieve their lifeless bodies.

An initial investigation by the FBI concluded that four known members of the KKK were responsible for the terror attack. However, it wasn't until 1977 (over a decade later) that the first suspect was convicted of first degree murder. Robert "Dynamite Bob" Chambliss was sentenced to life imprisonment, although his media presence demonstrates a complete lack of remorse for his crimes.

In 2001, Thomas Blanton (above) and Bobby Cherry were each convicted of four counts of first degree murder and given life prison terms. respectively. The fourth suspect, Herman Cash died in 1994, and was never charged.

It took over four decades for all the killers to be brought to some kind of justice.

Guardian of the Golden Gate

Kevin Briggs, a California highway patrol officer, has stopped more than 200 people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

He’d usually start a conversation with a potential jumper by asking if they’ve got any plans for tomorrow.

He’d then make plans, asking them to come to his house for dinner. He’d always keep his promise.

The image shows Briggs and Kevin Berthia having such a conversation in 2005. It took over an hour for him to convince the man to climb back over the rail to safety. Berthia went on to marry and have kids.
