Before you scroll down, guess the 2 flags he had prominently on his wall at home. No prizes.
The details are horrific - don't go to the link if you don't want (but don't worry, no pictures of the monkeys, just the sadist).
Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias "Torture King", was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.
Mr Macartney was one of three key distributors identified by the BBC Eye team during a year-long investigation into sadistic monkey torture groups.
Two women have also been charged in the UK following the investigation.

And the flags? Well, no surprise, really ...

WTAF. If he's really entitled to have that 82nd Airborne flag, I hope they formally drum him off the roster.

(275 posts)I wish I hadn't. I just don't understand what is so horribly broken inside people like this. What need does such an awful thing fulfill?
