    10 Alarming News Stories from 2012 that Prove the Mayans Were Totally Right

    The actual U.S. government has issued an official statement declaring that the world is not going to come to an end on December 21. The rumors are based on the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Except, I remain a little concerned that the end of the world is nigh, although not because of the Mayan calendar. It's because when I take a look at the stories I've covered over the last year, I become more convinced that humanity itself is far too horrifying to continue on. Take a look at these 10 news stories from the past year, and see if you aren't a little concerned yourself for the state of the world: - By Joselyn Gray

In April, the horrifying video was finally released, showing an 18-year-old disabled student being restrained, face-down, for seven hours while be subjected to intermittent electrical shocks.
