‘Evil at its finest’: Teenager charged in killing, burning of 85-year-old Korean War vet
Gene Emory Dacus often sacrificed his own comfort for that of others.
At the beginning of the 1950s, he was one of many young men who shipped off to Korea, fighting a war half a world from his home in Georgia. After the war ended in 1953 and his three sons — one of whom is disabled — finished school, he moved with his wife, Earnestine, to Birmingham, Ala., to care for his grandparents. There, he was embraced by his neighbors, for whom he often cut the grass — even at 85 years old — to keep the neighborhood looking tidy.
On Wednesday August 17, 2016, neighbors alerted Stanley, a neighbor and relative of Dacus’s, that they smelled smoke and saw fire coming from the back yard of Dacus’s house. They thought maybe his RV had caught fire, or that someone had set fire to it — police said witnesses had seen a young black man running through a nearby alleyway with a red gasoline jug.
Stanley sent his son to investigate.
But the camper wasn’t on fire. What he found was far more shocking and horrifying.
It was Dacus’s body, in the back yard of the home he lived in for more than 50 years, engulfed in flames.
Next day, police charged 18-year-old Thomas Sims with capital murder in the case, meaning that he could potentially receive the death penalty. He is being held on no bond. It is unclear if he has a lawyer or if he has entered a plea.
Birmingham Police Lt. Sean Edwards told AL.com that it appears Dacus and Sims got into an argument, before the teenage doused him with gasoline and lit him on fire.

So wrong! Penis fork! **Warning**
Just crazy! I just saw this article about 70 old man with a fork stuck in his penis! Why? How? What!?!?!?! This should make an interesting reading. So enjoy!
---- From Mail Online, by Rachel Reilly, PUBLISHED: 10:10 EST, 19 August 2013 ----
Man, 70, has 10cm steel kitchen fork removed from inside his PENIS after sexual adventure goes wrong
- Doctors from Canberra, Australia, have published a case in which an elderly man 'lost' and entire piece of cutlery inside his body
- Man underwent general anaesthetic and surgeons used forceps traction and 'copious lubrication' to remove the foreign body
- Was discharged shortly afterwards and was left with no long-term damage
The 70-year-old visited Canberra Hospital’s emergency department complaining of bleeding genitalia.
He then promptly admitted that he had inserted a piece of cutlery into his urethra in an attempt to pleasure himself.
Unfortunately the attempt backfired and it became stuck, leaving him in considerable pain. Despite this, it took him 12 hours to pluck up the courage to seek medical help.
The fork was so firmly lodged inside the man's body that doctors could not initially see the cause of the discomfort, according to the report in The International Journal of Surgery.
However, once it had been located, ‘multiple retrieval methods were contemplated with success achieved via forceps traction and copious lubrication.’
The procedure was successful and the elderly man was sent home with no long-term damage.
According to the article, entitled ‘An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body’, it is very rare to find alien objects lodged in the lower urinary tract.
But, it said, many unexpected objects have been retrieved from other parts of the body.
These include toothbrushes, pencils, allen keys, plastic cups, light bulbs, thermometers, plants and vegetables, leeches, snakes, wax and glue.
Doctors Krishanth Naidu, Maurice Mulcahy and Amanda Chung said they chose to publish the unusual case 'to create discussion among the medical fraternity given the great management challenge faced by the oddity and infrequency with which a fork is encountered in the penile urethra'.
The added that the motives for inserting objects into such a sensitive region were difficult to comprehend.
According to the report, in a series of 20 adult cases over 9 years, foreign body insertions into the lower urinary tract have a low incidence, with men 1.7 times more likely to engage in the behaviour than women.
They said that practice tends to occur 'during states of pathological masturbation, substance abuse and intoxication'.
In most cases embarrassed patients attempted to retrieve the item themselves, risking injury and foreign body migration.
The real danger was infection leading to death, because ashamed patients often delay medical treatment, they said.
Doctors generally try to avoid surgery in such situations, instead choosing an option that would minimise trauma and preserve erectile function.
According to the report, typical symptoms after having inserted a foreign object into the male urethra include lower abdominal pain, penile pain, swelling of glans or body of penis, inflammation of the urethra, dyspareunia (pain during sex), blood-stained urine, pyuria (pus in urine), increased urinary frequency, inability to urinate and fever.
MV : Sara Bareilles - Brave
I love this music video with good beat and a positive message!
Everyone! Be Brave!
Here is the lyrics to the song: Brave by Sara Bareilles!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
