Or perhaps he drugged them first.

When I read of things like this I am usu...Very sad. When I read of things like this I am usually puzzled by the fact that one person, like in this case, can murder two people and mutilate a third. If he was attacking the first person, why didn't the other two either hit the perpetrater with something heavy to either stop him or put him out of action? Even if they couldn't, why didn't they run for help?<BR/><BR/>I read only a week ago that a man killed his wife and two children then topped himself. Did they just watch and wait their turn or what?<BR/><BR/>It is one of lifes puzzles. If I had seen my father, or mother, or a sibling trying to kill another family member I wouldn't have tried to reason with them or stand by; I would use force if necessary, even kill, to put a stop to it.<BR/><BR/>I really am sorry that you had to go through all that, and maybe I don't know the facts of what really happened. It is just a senseless waste of young lives, and whether or not the father was mentally unbalanced, in my book he should have paid the ultimate price! Sorry, but I believe in an "eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980919973276212167.post-54426404210651752982008-08-29T20:18:00.000+01:002008-08-29T20:18:00.000+01:00Meant to comment the other nite, but thoughts got ...Meant to comment the other nite, but thoughts got in the way.<BR/><BR/>A really sad tale mate, and I'm very sorry. Reading it made me realise that my best mate from school is only a phonecall away, we have sort of drifted apart the last few years, and I don't know why. Your tale has sort of brought it all into perspective, and at least I can do something about it, and should do.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Bromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190741956540256769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980919973276212167.post-44610174453855051952008-08-28T00:02:00.000+01:002008-08-28T00:02:00.000+01:00Giggle - So sorry for bringing you down.
