    Humans are fucked up:

    The prosecutors are examining allegations that during the 1990s, far-right extremists and gun enthusiasts from Italy, the United States, Russia and other countries travelled to Bosnia and paid Serbian forces to let them fire at city residents as a form of “war tourism”.

    According to La Repubblica, foreigners each paid the equivalent of between €80,000 and €100,000 (£71,000 and £88,000) in today’s money to take part, with a “price list” allegedly listing various rates depending on the target.

    “[There was] a price tag for these killings: children cost more, then men, preferably in uniform and armed, [then] women, and finally old people, who could be killed for free,” Ezio Gavazzeni, a journalist, told the Italian newspaper.

    “They departed Trieste for a manhunt. And then they came home and continued their normal lives. They were respectable in the opinion of those who knew them,” he added.
