If you’re ever sick in Italy, you may want to think twice about asking a nurse to fluff your pillow. A story recdently surfaced about Italian nurse Daniela Poggiali, who is accused of killing 38 of her patients because she found them annoying. Poggiali would inject her victims with a lethal dose of potassium chloride which is extra hard to investigate because it fades from the system after a few days. And she shows no regrets:
It is claimed that Ms Poggiali even took ghoulish selfies. The Libero Quotidiano newspaper said that Ms Poggiali photographed herself on her smartphone while standing next to one of her suspected victims, moments after he had died. “In all my professional years of seeing shocking photos, there have been few like these,” said Alessandro Mancini, the chief prosecutor of Ravenna. Colleagues said Ms Poggiali deliberately gave laxatives to patients at the end of her shift so that other nurses would have to deal with the effects.
And they say it’s the nurses that have the charming bedside manner.
Team Blackness also discussed a Ferguson, Missouri, cop that tried to get a resident fired from her job for being involved in the protests, an Iowa cop that blew out to the tires of a pregnant woman speeding to get to the hospital to deliver her baby, and more stupid words out of Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert’s mouth.

I suppose “Holy shit!” Could be inappropriate here. And, fuck that cop, those cops and the other cops.

Does the Iowa cop still have his badge and gun? One would hope not.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Mother of God. It’s quick, I’ll give it that, but there are very few more agonizing ways to go.
Yep, that there is a 100% sociopath. Well, Italy doesn’t have the death penalty, but from what I understand their prisons were all built in the 1600s and it’s not a place you want to live out the rest of your life.

The woman was obviously in the wrong for not instantly obeying the cop.
(Insert “it’s a free country,” “American FUCKYEAH!” & etc. as preferred.)

Actually, it would be man-bites-dog news if Grohmert said something that was not stupid.

Are there any combinations of words that come out of Gohmert’s mouth that aren’t made stupid by originating there? If he read War and Peace out loud would that make the book stupid? OK, I get that he probably couldn’t pronounce all those words…..

Why is this here now and why is it worth a post?
Seriously, Elon — pretty disappointed in you. Is this all you got to post? The only thing that grabbed your attention in the sea of other issues?
Give me a break…

@CONGRATULATIONS!: Girl with the Faraway Eyes might have been a better post title.

We had one of those angel-of-death nurses here in Cincinnati about 20-30 years ago. Donald Harvey (had to goggle that). That tells me there may be more of them out there. Still, the nurses that took care of me after my surgery two years ago were fabulously kind and helpful.
