These guys are from Eastern Ukraine and some of the more recent videos show the results of the fighting and damage caused.

So long as they don't move in next door to me ...
Chances are their neighbours have cooked organs ..or cancer.
..and if they bring that damaged stereo and TV in my shop ...I wont be quoting them for a fix..

These guys are true candidates for the "Darwin awards" for 2015.

"Darwin Awards" , awarded to the best idiot who removed his (or Her) self from the gene pool in the most stupid way possible.

Akin to the redneck "Hey Bubba lookie what I can do" award.

We used to have a Darwin Award thread here a little while ago. I wonder what happened to it.
