The Silent Majority

It seems that after the fall of the soviet empire some the good ole’ western entrepreneurial spirit has found its way into the Russian heartland. The following story shows that even in the direst of economic circumstances if you are willing to make the hard choices you can succeed. It also embraces the age old concept of self sacrifice for the greater good.

Seriously though, it makes me yearn for the time when it was just a dog-eat-dog world. By the way, has anyone seen Timmy?

Body parts sold to kebab stand, police say
Three Russians also suspected of killing man, eating parts themselves

MOSCOW - Russian police have arrested three homeless people suspected of eating a 25-year-old man they had butchered and selling other bits of the corpse to a local kebab house.

Suspicions were raised when dismembered parts of a human body were found near a bus stop in the outskirts of the Russian city of Perm, 720 miles east of Moscow.

Three homeless men with previous criminal records have been arrested on suspicion of setting upon a foe with knives and a hammer before chopping up his corpse to eat, local investigators said in a statement.

"After carrying out the crime, the corpse was divided up: part was eaten and part was also sold to a kiosk selling kebabs and pies," the prosecutor's main investigative unit for the Perm region said.

It was not immediately clear from the statement if any of the corpse had been sold to customers.
