Footage of the fall of Berlin 1945...interesting.

That's how it looked like just after the German surrender! Fascinating moving pictures in color show the situation of the city in summer 1945 and daily life in the ruins.

There are many many vicious organized criminal gangs in America. Go after them all, not just concentrate on one. But I get why they are concentrating on Ms-13

Charlie Gard Hospital Says Staff Have Received Death Threats

by PHIL HELSEL and CATIE MONTEIRO

LONDON — The British hospital treating terminally ill baby Charlie Gard said Saturday that its staff has been subjected to abuse and even death threats in the controversial case.

"We fully understand that there is intense public interest, and that emotions run high," said Mary MacLeod, the chairman of Great Ormond Street Hospital.

"However, in recent weeks the GOSH community has been subjected to a shocking and disgraceful tide of hostility and disturbance. Staff have received abuse both in the street and online. Thousands of abusive messages have been sent to doctors and nurses whose life's work is to care for sick children," she said in a statement. "Many of these messages are menacing, including death threats."

Doctors at the hospital had advised that life support efforts for the 11-month-old, who is unable to move his arms or legs or breathe unaided, should end and that further therapy would cause more suffering. The boy’s parents are fiercely opposed and want Charlie to get help in the U.S.

Around 20 protesters supporting Charlie's parents held a prayer vigil and rally on Sunday afternoon to demand that the baby receive an experimental medical treatment, the Associated Press reported. The rally took place outside the London High Court, where legal proceedings on the case will resume on Monday.

ospital officials said they had been in contact with London’s Metropolitan Police Service over the threats. In some cases, parents of other sick children have been harassed while trying to visit, they said.

Charlie's parents said they do not condone the abuse, adding that they have also faced "nasty and hurtful remarks," the BBC reported.
