Now that could really fuk up a childhood.
Thank god for social housing. Imagine if she had to choose between Her drugs or food, because of rent?
That's a mystic response?
You need to explain 'who was sitting on the sidelines' and 'who's distorted morality' you are referring to........
Mass killings, looting in Tikrit by US-backed Shiite militia
As many as 76 people were summarily executed by militia forces, who dragged the bodies through the streets of the conquered city, a former stronghold of longtime Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein, who was born nearby. Militiamen plundered stores and set fire to homes and businesses, in some cases claiming to be taking preventive action against the possibility of bombs having been left behind by ISIS.
Following a month-long battle, Shiite militias completed the conquest of Tikrit on March 31 after American warplanes joined the fight and obliterated the last ISIS holdouts in the center of the city.
Ahmed Al Krayam, head of the provincial council of Salahuddin province, told reporters, “Tikrit is under chaos and things are out of control. The police force and officials there are helpless to stop the militias.” Both Al Krayam and the governor of Salahuddin left Tikrit, the provincial capital, on Friday night, protesting the failure of the Iraqi government to curb looting and murder.
The Wall Street Journal interviewed a Tikrit resident, Waleed Omar, who had fled the city during the fighting earlier this month. “This looting issue is 100 percent true and it means new suffering for the people of Tikrit,” he said. “Islamic State displaced people in Tikrit after committing horrible abuses against them, and now the militias are looting and burning their homes.”
A factor in the savagery of the Shiite forces was the fact that Tikrit had been the longtime political base of Saddam Hussein, who brutally repressed a Shiite uprising in 1991. Moreover, at nearby Camp Speicher, an abandoned US military base, Sunni ISIS fighters had allegedly murdered some 1,700 captured Iraqi Army soldiers after separating the Sunnis, who were released, from the Shiites, who were slaughtered.
By Friday, American officials were admitting to reporters that summary executions and looting were taking place in Tikrit and warning that such actions could undermine the US-backed coalition against ISIS, which includes the Sunni-ruled monarchies of the Persian Gulf.
“It’s bad,” one US military official told the Wall Street Journal. “This is not what we want. This is not what al-Abadi wants.”
