 Posted: 11/15/04 - 13:52 Post subject: Nothing like losing your head...
Since it's been awhile since my last gross post o' the day, here is one:
| Quote: | A narcotics traffic stop on the Downtown Connector turned deadly Saturday afternoon when a man climbed over the interstate railing, fell about 35 feet and was decapitated on a wrought-iron fence, Atlanta police said.
Officers in a marked car stopped the man about 4:30 p.m., as he drove south on the interstate above Auburn Avenue. The man, who has not been identified, stopped his vehicle and tried to flee by climbing over the railing, Lt. Danny Agan said.
Police still are investigating whether the man jumped or fell off the raised interstate.
"This is a new one for me in 29 years," Agan said.
The decapitation shocked people who work in the neighborhood. Gary White, an income tax preparer, came out of his office when he heard the commotion. "It's surreal," White said.
Agan said narcotics officers had been trailing the man for much of the day.
Agan did not know if the officers who tried to arrest the man would be placed on administrative leave. "This is not something normally covered under the [standard operating procedure] of the department," he said.

Understandable.
But I've seen way worse in the news. Footage, too, not just still pictures.

What news are you watching?? 
I don't think I've ever seen stills that graphic on the news...

Those pictures look fake (sadly they are not).
What a crazy story though.

I've seen the complete Daniel Pearl video. And it is available at a particular newspaper's website the last time I checked (though I admit that was two or three months ago). And I saw it twice because I could not believe what I saw the first time.

I was wondering if they looked fake to me because 1) I've become desensitized to things that graphic due to Hollywood or 2) Hollywood's graphic-ness is just that good that this looked fake...
