"Family sues for wrongful death of security guard, 70, who collapsed and died
walking up a hill while guarding Facebook founder's Hawaii property"
(a comment) "Since when if a employee dies on the job makes the employer liable?"
Perhaps, whenever an employee is working on the job,
employer liability is assumed until proven otherwise ...
especially considering property owner's wealth.

" 'Street takeovers' are becoming quite common in Los Angeles and big cities.
A mob of people and cars, responding to a prompt on social media, show up
and raise holy hell. Police try to break it up but are usually far too late."
Shark-like frenzy, facilitated by smart phone notification
Ongoing reduction of police pushback will probably permit
this "takeover" shopping cancer to spread.
"Cancer" is good analogy since a robust immune system

Have certain terms reflecting what happens long-term been

Medical TMI, but emphasizes how a healthy microbiome protects against many diseases
(perhaps including untested meds and those with serious side effects):
"This diagram shows the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds (indole and certain other derivatives) from tryptophan by bacteria in the gut. Indole is produced from tryptophan by bacteria that express tryptophanase. Clostridium sporogenes metabolizes tryptophan into indole and subsequently 3-indolepropionic acid (IPA), a highly potent neuroprotective antioxidant that scavenges hydroxyl radicals. IPA binds to the pregnane X receptor (PXR) in intestinal cells, thereby facilitating mucosal homeostasis and barrier function. Following absorption from the intestine and distribution to the brain, IPA confers a neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. Lactobacillus species metabolize tryptophan into indole-3-aldehyde (I3A) which acts on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in intestinal immune cells, in turn increasing interleukin-22 (IL-22) production ...
Interestingly, articles about the human microbiome keep suggesting that a healthy microbiome
derives from a better diet and lifestyle; hinting that long term meds indicate a poor microbiome.

"Survivor describes how prisoners butchered dead inmates and ATE their livers"
"Starving prisoners at a Nazi concentration camp ate the body parts of dead inmates to stay alive"
However, it's not shocking that starving prisoners would choose
to eat corpses rather than keep starving to their own death.
