Sometimes people baffle me..... -_-;;

Ok… about 6 or so houses from mine… a murder and a suicide occured last night. Some deranged maniac strangled his 5 year old daugther then… hung himself in his basement. That’s pretty sad… May I have a thud… please ?

:thud:

people today are completely insane… times have changed alot

What the fuck? Where the hell are we going as a species? Cos so far we suck.

This sounds like a crime of passion. The guy was mad, couldn’t control himself, and killed his kid. Then he snapped out of it, realized what had happened, and killed himself out of repentence. A very similar story can be found here:

From what I’ve gathered from sources in town… the guy got divorced recently… each parent would take care of the girl one weekend each. He probably didn’t like his ex-wife, so he wanted to make sure she’d never see her daughter again by taking her life away with his. Great reasoning there, yeah… :thud:

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

So, this is what our world has come to…

I bet if I watched the news I’d hear about it because NB is pretty damned close to NS…just terrible.

for some reason, Maine news doesn’t pick up anything from canada… my prayers are with those involved in this incident.

and thud:thud:

wow, thats crazy…some dude stabbed himself to death in my alley…than some stupid kids tryed to spraypaint his name on the water tower, and one fell off…

That happened to me, once.

My ex-aunt tried killing her three kids (my cousins) by feeding them mercury (pretty much divided one mercury based thermometer between the three of them) and by leaving the gas stove on at night. Luckily the grandmother, of no relation to me, smelled the gas and called 911 or something. Later, my uncle kidnapped the kids and fled over the state border as a way to protect them. However, in doing so, he broke the law and was sent to jail for a year but got out early on good behaviour. His probation ended… about two years ago, and this all happened in '92, I think. The mother, however, was not charged with anything and only sent to a mental facility. During that time, the kids were in the custody of the saving grandmother, but there’s a twist. The mother, my ex-aunt, regained custody of the kids.

So, with stories like that, DG’s doesn’t really surprise me. I highly doubt that it’s just some modern epidemic but rather something that has occurred in the past throughout human history. It’s just that the media has now become so big and so sensationalist that stories like this have no problem becoming the main focus of the news. This in turn causes us to believe that these events are only now occurring in disproportionate numbers since the news in the past didn’t report every single one of these events. As the saying goes, if it bleeds, it leads.

But all that aside, it is still twisted. The second paragraph was meant more for the comments of “omg our society suks”

That’s… sad. I agree with galloway. That’s probably what it was. Except, instead of bein’ insane, he was probably just overwhelmed with his divorce and tradin’ his kid back and forth.

I, honestly, did not have to read this, god… But this is a very serious issue. I don’t quite understand… Why would he kill his daughter, then himself? It seems like hardly anything could justify that. (written just before I read the entire thing and realized it had to deal with divorce)

Honestly, if I wanted to make sure the mother didn’t get her hands on the kid, I’d kill the mother. That’d seem like it’d work a lot better. But I guess it was more like he just couldn’t take it anymore, went raving mad.

984, your story is yet another case of insanity. However, in the bureaucracy that is today’s world, there was no reason that once the mother got out of the facility to prevent her from taking the kids back into her custody. I honestly believe, however, that the uncle should have recieved the kids… I honestly don’t know. I have to read up more on the legal system, I guess.

But that’s how life works. These things happen, and everyone is supposed to continue on as normal. Like a simple tragedy, a page in history, and it will mean nothing in the years to come…

We are doomed.

Bullshit. Something like this was just as likely in the past as it is now.

Vampires, Muder-Suicide, Granny porn…

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH, the world has gone fucking nuts!

984: jaw drops

Nuts. Some people are nuts but the symptoms only manifest themselves randomly, so you don’t know when they’ll go into such a mental state.

Yeah. Jaw dropping, Sin. What’s worse is that my uncle had to visit his kids under supervision, the whole time being watched and every little hug being taken suspiciously. After about two of those sessions or some low number, he basically said “Fuck it” and has waited for the kids to turn 18 to see them again. So far, he’s only been able to see his oldest child. The second oldest should be turning 18 within a year or two.

huggles her Random Bishounen Plushie and sniffles

I wish my mom were here (I’m at school), I need a hug.

;_;

I’m not really shocked. I would like to say otherwise, but it happens all the time. It’s just something special when it happens down your street.

And the world isn’t different now from what it was before: It is just that murders, suicide, and violence have become the media’s favourite news stories.
