A group of fishermen lost at sea for nearly three days managed to survive by keeping themselves in high spirits aboard their life-raft, before they used a flare gun to attract rescuers.

The seven crew members were forced to abandon their ship, the Elite Navigator, on Wednesday after a small fire on the vessel quickly turned into an inferno.

With little time to spare, the men piled into a life-raft and abandoned the burning boat.

No inventory of what they had, should have had, or an obviously needed transponder.

No one seems to care about “preps” until it’s too late.

The concept of EDC (Every Day Carry) is to have what you’d need in an emergency.  When you go out on the water or into the forest, then your needs change and so to you EDC.

In the video, five teenage boys surround the cat, named Vortex, who appears to be lounging on the corner of the street.

After a few moments, one of the sick boys pulls out a long-barreled gun and aims it at Vortex, who was cherished for her sweet and friendly personality. 

Then the teenager fired his gun and struck the cat. 

*** and ***

The Salem Police Department recently charged two 17-year-old teens in connection with the cat’s slaying.

Both of the boys were charged with first-degree aggravated animal abuse. One of them was additionally charged with evidence tampering. 

But the investigation remains ongoing. The teenager who shot the cat has not been identified, and the weapon he used has not been recovered.

Isn’t killing pets a sign of a future serial killer psychopath?

Sorry, but these are not “teenagers” any more.  They should be charged as adults.

But since this is Oregon, I expect a slap on the wrist and sent home to plan their next “adventure” like a school shooting.

Where are we going as nation to produce monsters like these?
