A Historical Day

May 23, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ
(1701) Infamous privateer and possible pirate executed
1701 Once a pirate hunter of great repute, and now convicted of piracy and treason himself, Scottish sailor Captain William Kidd is hung in London, his body then gibbeted over the River Thames as a gruesome warning to other would-be pirates..
(1873) North-West Mounted Police patrol the provinces
Riflemen on horseback are needed to maintain order in Canada’s newly acquired North-West Provinces, so the ‘North-West Mounted Rifles’ are founded. US officials will be wary of the militaristic name, so the force is renamed the North-West Mounted Police and, later, the ‘Royal Canadian Mounted Police.’. 1873
(1911) President Taft dedicates marble marvel on 5th Avenue
1911 Fourteen years and $9 million have gone into building the main branch of the New York Public Library, housed in a Beaux-Arts structure spanning two city blocks, now the largest marble structure in the US. More than a million books are collected inside, with two stone lions standing sentry at the entrance..
(1934) Notorious outlaw couple gunned down in Louisiana
A stolen Ford Deluxe is met with a hail of bullets as it passes an ambush of lawmen lying in wait on a rural highway in Louisiana’s Bienville Parish. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s car is hit by 130 rounds, and the FBI’s most wanted criminals are brought down after a 2-year manhunt.. 1934

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
