I'm watching the news. They're showing clips from earlier today, when the situation with the hostages in North-Ossetia came to a head after a female suicide bomber blew herself up and others started firing at the hostages, forcing a counteraction. Near naked and bloody children are running out of the buildings in small clusters and being put on gurneys while gunfire can be heard around them. Someone just carried out a little girl who was conscious, but had a huge bandage around her head that was seeping blood on her neck.

Why do people do shit like this?
