    What? The Rodeny King beating and subsequent riots, OJ Simpson murdering 2 people, Columbine, the first time the WTC was bombed, 1500 people died near Mecca, and like 3 civil wars in Africa

        I did not forget about them, but I felt I gave enough examples to where I drove my point home

        I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time and happened to be sick that day. Freaked me out that people were going to think I did it.

          Oh god, I can’t tell if that would be an epic prank, or a traumatizing nightmare.

          Your teacher gets a cop, and all your classmates to go in it. Everyone acts like you did it.

          Then a cop comes in, and arrests you. Throws you into the back of his car…then DRIVES YOU TO DISNEY WORLD!!!

          Which, might be kind of a long drive now that I think about it. I have no idea where you lived in 1995.

      Eastern Europe collapsing in the power vacuum left by the fall of the USSR, multiple civil wars, horrendous war crimes including genocide. NATO having to go in.

      Maybe OP should have used the word ridiculous instead of outrageous. Removing ribs for such a thing is ridiculous IMO.
