Ghastly, Horrific, Prison Slaughter In Ecuador
Many of my readers probably have seen in the daily news cycle that yesterday there was a hideous, bloody, prison riot here in Ecuador.

The number of dead will almost certainly go higher in the coming days. Many of the dead were decapitated, dismembered, and/or disemboweled. It was such a hellish, demonic slaughter, that the coroner and morgue personnel are having a very hard time identifying the dead, due to the... read more
