Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Kimberley was found in her bed having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Kristen was found in her bed stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed, both her arms broken and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood. MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered, cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week. MacDonald claimed he was awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white. A fourth intruder described as a white female with long blonde hair and wearing high heeled boots and a white floppy hat partially covering her face stood nearby with a lighted candle and chanted "Acid is groovy, kill the pigs." The three males attacked him with a club and ice pick. During the struggle he claimed that his pajama top was pulled over his head to his wrists and he then used it to ward off thrusts from the ice pick. Eventually he stated that he was overcome by his assailants and was knocked unconscious in the living room end of the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

Wednesday 17th of August 1960 (x) — Pop group The Beatles play their first concert.
The tired and hungry band played to just a handful of spectators, mainly prostitutes and their clients. They also had to turn down their amplifiers following a complaint from the woman who lived above the venue. Nervous of the unfamiliar surroundings The Beatles played the entire four and a half hour opening show, huddled together and standing stock still.
