"Last month, Emily, a talented singer, tweeted in apparent reference to her migraines: 'Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I just thank God I’m still alive."
Wow! I'm sure in his own way he loved his family, but he put his own feelings first and did not care about what his daughter felt about her life. This was a very selfish act on his part.

Exactly. HE couldn't stand to watch her suffer, anymore. This was about him. And he didn't kill his wife and sister so they wouldn't have to live without Emily, he killed them so he wouldn't have to face them knowing what he had done.
I hope they execute him.

Agree, He did kill himself but not till he posted about it on facebook and the police came to surround the house.

That's right. Ok, then I wish they could bring him back to life, make him sit through a trial and face what he's done, and THEN execute him.

We've all read it but it still doesn't make him deserve any pity. That is very warped thinking.

I hate trolls.
flan
So do I and you can keep calling me a troll if it makes you feel better about yourself. You don't hate murderers though so I guess trolls (on a message board) are so much more awful than murderers.
Isn't calling me a troll name calling and in need of a reprimand?

IKWTDS, is not.
I see no difference between fran and ikwtds stance on the matter.
I made a statement about the man, addressed to no one.
Flan is the one who took upon herself to engage.
Flan is a big girl. At least that's what she says.
She likes dishing out but can't take it so well.

I can sympathize with his hopelesness, but not his actions. He messed up, big time. I can only hope I am never in the situation where I believe death is the only way out. It must be dark and lonely place to be indeed.
Oh please. You sympathize with his hopelessness even though he killed his whole family, not just the daughter he loved sooooo much. No wonder criminals think they can get away with crap.
Because he wasn't hopeless he was evil. How did killing his sister help anyone or anything? You and flan can continue to excuse evil but I'm done with this as I find it sick and insulting to listen to anymore.
Read up thread for your quotes on pitying abusers and as far as pedophiles you know exactly what you have said and I answered chillepeppas question before she asked. See the bolded.
Go ahead back to your pity and sympathy for a murderer...lol
My first comment in this quote mine states that I thought his actions were wrong.
Yes but you can sympathize with his hopelessness. It wasn't his hopelessness that caused him to kill his wife and sister. Not sure why that's considered part of his "hopelessness.
I base the hopelessness guess on his fb post and the opinion his friends had of him. It does not excuse what he did though, as I stated in my first comment.
I'm sure the father felt hopeless but he had no right to take his families life. Who was he to say she didn't want to live anymore? What about his families feelings and desires. They had a right to their life!!! his daughter had a right to her life. She was young and still had time for her hormones to settle down/and to have hope the dr.'s will find something to relieve her pain. He was all about him and his feelings. He did kill himself but not till the police surrounded his home.
My sympathy is for his family whose lives were taken away from them.
I agree... And then he posts it on Facebook. That says a lot. Ugh.
He obviously was not in his right mind, but that doesn't mean he didn't love his wife & daughter.
flan
Susan Smith, Andrea Yates, every singles abusive parent and spouse has had love for their victims.
Doesn't mean they were not evil.

And I'm going to agree with your statement too.
I am capable of feeling compassion for someone in his position. If that makes me "deviant," so be it.
flan
You said it.
Agreed. What is sad is that with all the advances we've supposedly made in the medical arts, that this poor girl had to suffer so.
My worst fear isn't death, it's unrelenting suffering without hope of relief.
It was not his suffering, and you have no idea if she had hope or not.
That's a good point, LL, but I think many men are prone to fixing things. He did not want his daughter to suffer.
flan
Men like to fix things. Cowards kill their kids.
Glad my dad has tried to fix things for me by simply getting a toilet riser and lift chair and other things that help. Not kill me and kids.
The difference between an evil person and a dad who loves his kids and family is like night and day. Too bad you can't see that.

Well, boo hoo for him. There are a myriad of options other than murdering your entire family. Give me a break.

Yes, it does. When you gun someone down in cold blood, you don't love them. I don't care how you wanna slice that one.
I'll stop "politicizing" when they quit making crap like this in the U.S. political. Every time something like this happens in the U.S. there is some Canadian or European pundit on TV blathering on about "gun culture" and how this stuff just "never" happens in their little utopias.
This is a ridiculous comment, untrue and stunningly ignorant.

Haven't read the rest of the tread, but Chille said what I did with Flan agreeing. Will there be more "wow just wow" comments and such. I will find out in the next 10 minutes or so.

He took the lives of three people. Is there no behavior that you won't excuse???
Refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.
Good point. Refuse to bake a cake and you should be burned alive--kill three people and you deserve a medal in flan's world.
Wait. No more posts to flan - she's not on here to respond.

Wasn't it in Norway that a guy went crazy with a gun and killed 68 kids and adults at a camp ground a few years ago?
If I remember right, Norway has laws against personal gun ownership and it still happened.
It was the perfect example of guns being in the hands of the criminals and not the hands of the peace abiding, IMHO.
Anyway, late to this party. IMHO, the guy was nuts and was justifying his actions ----- huge fail.
I can understand his anguish over his daughters suffering, but not his method of solving the problem. Only weak and controlling individuals resort to killing.
Just my two cents.

Well, that person was also fairly ill-informed. Let's try being global citizens here. Gun violence happens everywhere.
