So we endure day after day of islamic jihadist attacks across the globe, a relentless blood letting in the name of a golden idol and a raving mentally ill "prophet" and just when you think it can't get any worse, the Maoists in India decide to start trying to make headlines.
Today in eastern India, more specifically in the eastern state of Orissa, Maoist militants killed 14 - 13 police officials and one civilian.
These Maoists consider themselves the champions of the poor farm hands across Indian states and usually just stir up trouble in outlying areas but this attack was in a more populated area and actually targeting a military academy that harbored weapons - those were stolen in the raid.
The World's violence never ceases - there isn't a country, it seems, that doesn't have a pitched battle waging. And whether it's a jihadist fighting for the memory of a crazed pediophile or a thug preserving the era of a Chinese mass murderer, the fight of Evil vs. Good continues. Every bloody day.
Here's the full story from the BBC.

Indian Maoists kill 14 in Orissa
Maoist rebels in India have attacked police stations in the eastern state of Orissa, killing 13 officers.
A civilian also died in the attacks in Nayagarh district. The rebels escaped with arms and ammunition.
The attacks, which occurred 90km (56 miles) from the state capital, Bhubaneswar, are seen as a sign the rebels are extending their operations.
Until now, they had confined their operations in Orissa to less developed parts of the state.
Officials said several hundred rebels, including women fighters, were involved.
Reports say between two and four police stations were attacked. One was set on fire.
The head of the state's police, Gopal Chandra Nanda, said a training academy and armoury were also targeted. At least 11 policemen were injured.
The Maoists are active in many states across east and central India. They focus on areas where people are poor but there is great mineral wealth.
The rebels say they represent the rights of landless farmhands and tribal communities. Hundreds of people have died over the past few years in Maoist-related violence.
The Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, recently described the rebels as the biggest threat to the country's security and called for a dedicated security force to combat them.
