Thanksgiving Massacre

*Warhorse* · 11-30-2009, 06:24 PM

Normally, I wouldn't have posted something like this, but when I learned just how horrific this crime ended up being, and it was so close to my house, I felt I had to share. What started as a family Thanksgiving evening in Jupiter, Florida, ended in bloodshed when a member of the family had gone into his car, grabbed a gun and opened fire. He killed his twin sisters, one which was pregnant, an elderly woman in her 70's, and the most tragic, an precious 6 year old who was sleeping in her bed. This bastard shot the little girl 5 times. My heart goes out to this family.

This monster is still on the loose, so if any of you just happen to see him, you know what to do. It's rumored he has escaped to the Midwest already, after he apparently contacted a doctor in the area, but you know how rumors go.

I hate to say it, but...

I'm suspicious of the Father. His behavior BOTHERS my mom, and I can see it too. There's just something Not right...

Who's to say the dad didn't do something, and then use this other person as a scapegoat? The guy's mentally (what's the PC word now, handicapped? handicapable? challenged?), would the guy even be ABLE to say what happened?

You're not the first person to think that. One of my co-workers, who lives about a 1/4 a mile from the incident, was saying the same thing. He seemed too calm. But that's the strange thing about emotion. Some people go ape sh!t, others can't keep it together, some who can keep it together, and some who go into some state of shock.

Last update, the cops have now joined forces with the US Marshals, state and countrywide border patrol officers and FBI to start a nationwide hunt for the guy (why this wasn't initiated to begin with is beyond me) and that they were looking in ponds around the gated community to see if perhaps the murder weapon may have been dropped in there.

Why doing this? Was he drunk or using drugs? He at least didn't killed himself, like many people do after school massacres.

They caught the bastard staying in a hotel down in the Keys. People who tipped the police off said they became aware of him after a piece on America's Most Wanted.

He's pleading insanity.

What's going to happen to him? Prison or death penalty?

I do not know what will happen to him. But I watched both the AMW episode airing his case AND the one right after where they aired his capture. I am so glad he was caught. WHY in the world would he murder a 6 year old who has done nothing to him?

Because he's sick in his head?
