A tribune of the plebs could not be touched — his body consecrated by oath so that killing him was a religious act, not a crime. Tiberius Gracchus died anyway, beaten with a broken bench leg.

In 2017, Hapilon's ISIS-aligned Abu Sayyaf faction and the Maute group held Marawi — a Philippine city of 200,000 — for 154 days. The military retook it building by building; most of the city was leveled in the process.

Norse berserkers bit their shields and charged wearing bear pelts, impervious to iron. Saga accounts describe them foaming at the mouth; one killed 11 men before being pinned to the earth with a pitchfork.

Carmine Galante was shot through the eye at Joe and Mary's restaurant in Bushwick on July 12, 1979 — the cigar clenched in his teeth remained lit in the crime-scene photograph.

After 13 years orbiting Saturn, the $3.9 billion Cassini was steered into the planet's atmosphere on purpose — a controlled suicide to avoid contaminating moons that might harbor life.

Under the Group Areas Act, apartheid bulldozed Cape Town's District Six — a jazz-loud, mosque-and-church neighbourhood of sixty thousand people — and relocated them to sand flats twelve miles away. The rubble sat empty for decades.

British War Secretary John Profumo shared a mistress, 19-year-old Christine Keeler, with Soviet naval attaché Yevgeny Ivanov — then lied about it to Parliament. The lie cost him his career; the affair may have cost Britain state secrets.

God wagers with Satan over a loyal man's breaking point, then obliterates Job's ten children as collateral. Job gets replacement children at the end. Is that a restoration or a receipt?
