Well in my small little town

[dwalt]

of about 1000 residents there was a murder-suicide yesterday. Left two kids (16 & 8) behind.  WTF is wrong with people!!??

Could you make the question multiple choice?

[dwalt]

uno, I could but then I would have to think.

[P.A.]

The world is full of crazy people and I am not sure who they are or if I am one of them.

[uno,dos,3]

The time to get concerned is when you aren't sure if you are two of them.

[dwalt]

Hmmm, what the hell are you smoking today uno??  I want some.

[dwalt]

Yep...Really selfish.

I remember this happening to a couple of kids when we were in elementary school. It was shocking at that time. In todays world its almost common.

 i don't think times are much different than they always were as far as that stuff goes. you could almost say that murder and suicides are family traditions dating back centuries. lizzie borden? or how bout allison moorer and shelby lynne? these two sisters had their daddy kill their mom and commit suicide because she left him due to his drunkeness. That is a large part of the cd "the hardest part' that moorer put out. and mass murder has been around as well. witness the school bombing by a disgruntled school board member in bath michigan in 1927. he had lost his farm to foreclosure and blamed the property taxes that went to the schools so he blew up the new school, killing 45 and injuring 58. most of the victims were children. you want crime? go back to the 16 and 1700's in england and europe. to be out on the street at night was to be robbed. robbery was so common that it was a hanging offense and children as young as 8 were hung for petty thieving. the times change some, society changes some but what has changed most is the access to 'news' and remember the news motto: 'if it bleeds, it leads'

My daughter has a friend who now lives in Florida.  This girl seemed like she would be screwed up when she was a teen. She ran away once, I found her and brought her home. When I knew her, she lived with her grandmother because her mother was in a mental hospital for having shot the father to death.

For some reason, this girl pulled herself together, is now an English teacher ( crazy right there, I know) is married, has two kids and is Republican, lol.  How this kid survived such a tragedy, I don't know, but she is a role model for sure. 

Her mother is out now and on facebook  on many of the girl's posts. They resumed a loving relationship.  There are eight million stories in the Naked City, for sure.

well down here on the south gulf coast of florida crime has been pretty low compared to most places but we still get our share too .. just yesterday or was it the day before an ex husband shot and killed his ex wife and her new husband to be on their boat in the marina .. i think he came over from miami to do it .. yup lets blame it on miami .. all the crime comes from over there .. anyway today was the day they were supposed to be married .. can't say for sure how old they were but judgin from the pics they put up i'd say they were in their early 60's or so .. so much for that retirement and sailin off into that golden sunset .. you make plans .. somebody else makes a different plan ..
