    Research it, bro... I'm not posting "stupid (whatever you couldn't express in less vulgar terminology)."


    Grow up.


    Ever take a criminal psychology class? Ever study criminal history, or historical trends in cases like this?



    Clear Lake mom mean anything? Charles Manson? Son of Sam? The cannibal dude in the '80's?

    Mostly white idiots do these things...


    I'm white, and I'm just stating facts.




    BTW- Why should the economy dictate people start taking their own lives and the lives of their children and spouses?

    That's a punk's way out.




    There is always something to be thankful for. Find it. It may take a moment, but there is no reason to snuff out life over money, or a lack of it.

    often synonymous to stupidity.. often the cause behind many of this world's most wasteful, irresponsible, reckless, and downright idiotic actions throughout human history..

    Dang it. Why did I click this thread. :( WHAT A FREAKIN' COWARD. Do some stupid crap, blame other people, then when stuff hits the fan, run and hurt your children. :mad:
    Oh, really. :rolleyes: Like this guy was actually a serial killer? He was a coward muth... *argh*, I can't even curse him out, I'm pissed... who didn't let his kids live THEIR life. He and his wife messed up their own, and took their kids with them. I'd give this guy NO HELP or CHANCE in even H-E double hockey sticks. While you're correct with your statement, it doesn't apply here. If he would have gone 'postal' at the company, maybe, but not here.

    I was as surprised with IROC it to find out it was a white guy, but who gives a darn. I'd condemn ANYONE who takes kids' lives whether green, white, or red.

    I totally AGREE. No way it's "the end of the world" just 'cuz you can't fight a system like that. :mad:

    ****, I'm pissed.

    Just awful. These people got way too emotional about the whole thing. Something else must've been going on to make the wife agree to this insane plan... if the letter is true. The job thing was just an excuse.

    Have you considered that it is because the majority of Americans are white so that the majority of deviants are also white in America?

    Terribe terrible situation but reading the article there a lot of what happened seems unclear.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/us/28family.html?_r=1&hp

    First off why did he fax a note to a TV station? Did he want this to be some sort of statement or looking for just looking for posthumous notoriety.

    [rquoter]The letter said Mr. Lupoe and his wife had worked as medical technicians at a Kaiser Permanente hospital in West Los Angeles, but recently lost their jobs after a dispute with an administrator.

    The administrator, it said, had asked them on an unspecified day why they had come to work, and then added, “You should have blown your brains out.”

    Two days after the confrontation, the letter said, the Lupoes lost their jobs and began planning their deaths and those of their children.
    [/rquoter]

    Why did he and his wife get fired, why did they show up at work and why did his ex boss tell him "You should have blown your brains out.?"

    [rquoter]Contrary to his fax and reported call to the television station, the man told a 911 operator he had arrived home and found his family dead, Deputy Chief Garner said. But investigators found a revolver next to Mr. Lupoe’s body, the only weapon in the home, he said.

    The police said they found the bodies of the three daughters next to their father in a front bedroom upstairs. The boys were with their mother in a back bedroom on the same floor. [/rquoter]

    Is it possible that he did come home and found his wife and kids dead and out of despair shot himself? Is it possible his wife killed the kids and herself first then when he found them he shot himself. Of did both of them kill their kids and then themselves?

    He said in the letter that they were going to kill themselves. The only question is whether or not the wife was in on it, as stated in the letter. There is no other scenario that exists.

    Ohio Family of Four Found Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide
    Thursday, January 29, 2009

    A family of four, including two small children, were found dead in their single-story Ohio home in what police believe was a murder-suicide after the father lost his job.

    Police refuse to say exactly where in the house the couple and their two children were found, how they died or whether a weapon was recovered.

    The victims' names have not been released by police. The Columbus Dispatch reported that the family was identified by a relative as Mark Meeks, 51, and Jennifer Dallas-Meeks, 40, and their children, Abby, 8, and Jimmy, 5.

    The children were home from school for a snow day. A neighbor said the father recently lost his job, and investigators believe that may have been a factor in the deaths.

    Sgt. Daniel Kelso told the Dispatch that relatives called police shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday and asked for officers to check on the family at their Whitehall, Ohio, home. When they arrived at the house, police discovered the four bodies.

    "It has the markings of a murder-suicide," Kelso said without elaborating. "This is not a high-crime area."

    Mark Meeks was a service manager for a car dealership and his wife was a stay-at-home mom, according to the Dispatch.

    "They were really good people. I'm shocked," neighbor Stephanie Grunkemeyer, 37, told the newspaper. "The kids were just the cutest. They'd come play in our yard — they always wanted to play — and we'd color the same coloring book a million times."

    Grunkemeyer said she saw Mark Meeks shoveling his snow-covered driveway around 11 a.m. Wednesday.

    Jennifer Dallas-Meeks' father told the Dispatch that he was having trouble understanding why the tragedy occurred.

    "They were a loving family," said Jim Dallas. "They were just wonderful people. Why this happened, I have no idea. I'm really pretty broken right now."

    The family's deaths come a day after police in Wilmington, Calif., found the bodies of a couple and their five children in their home. The parents had recently been fired from their jobs at a local hospital; police say the father killed his family and himself after planning the murder-suicide with his wife.

    This story back in early October 2008 may have been the very first of its kind in the current economic downturn.
