Thank you.

The headline says:

Ex-military gunman confirmed dead after he killed six family members and..

The intended message:

Even Marines can’t be trusted with gun ownership.

[Gasshog]

So he fell on his own sword.

I bet the autopsy shows he died early yesterday morning and has been dead over 24 hours when they found him. He had the whole sordid affair planned out and did not care to run from the law.

I think the guy did what he did for his children. Likely, the ex wife and family needed killing and this lad did the deed plus all the close relatives to protect the kids. He knew he was done when he whacked her but wanted to clear the field so the children had a chance.

I doubt that the military experience had anything to do with this so you anti military sob sisters can go pound sand.

[Squantos]

Agree...

MK-ULTRA v.2 anyone?

[familyop]

Agreed here, too.

What a deranged theory.

[CARDINALRULES]

So a 14 year old girl “needed killing”? And the 17 year old boy seriously injured?

Lesbians ain’t got time for payments for life.

Divorce only needed to be punitive when MEN were having to make the payments to ex-wives.

he's evil...pure evil.....big man though, killing 5 women, from the very young to the very old....

such a legacy for the children to have an arrogant killer for a father....

[cherry]

the custody battle didn't stop daddy dearest from remarrying....

its all about the power with these guys.....

It isn’t about the spouse; it is about the children. If a divorced guy finds himself out of the home, having some other guy living with his kids while he pays for it, why would anyone expect a different outcome? Not defending it, but explaining it; I couldn’t imagine living through a scenario like that.

I wonder how the freaks will deal with alimony since the state is recognizing “gay marriages” now...I’d guess that within a very short time the deviants, like many normal people, will realize they’d rather do without marriage.

From what I read, he told the judge in his latest DUI that he was broke. He was the one who was remarried. She had just become engaged and since there was no male in her apartment when he shot her and took the kids, doesn't look like another guy was living with his kids.

The media is doing a good job of raking her over the coals (she entered a drug treatment program) but not such a good job of dissecting him. She did have a long standing steady job.

He was in a psychiatric program in Doylestown, taking meds, claimed PTSD, spent 2.5 months deployed (claimed asthma to get sent home), had 3 DUI's over 10 years, one friend said he liked "being" a marine more than he liked "working" as a marine. But did the guy just hatch somewhere? Nothing about even where he is from, where he went to school, etc. Does he have family? He had no job that was mentioned.

He took his new wife to the children's activities when their mother was there. She would have more motive to shoot him, given your explanation.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Ok, how come everytime one of these nuts who happens to be a vet (especially a Marine) go ballistic and wipe out a bunch of people they always mention that he’s an ‘Ex-Marine’? As if by implication that has anything to do with it. I imagine the divorce has a lot more to do with it than the fact he was a Marine. He didn’t kill his current family after all. How come we never hear Ex-convenience store worker kills 7? Does anyone know the work history of Adam Lanza?

Ready for spraying ice here with much family operations preparation in advance. I'm sure you're enjoying the cool weather there. :-)

[familyop]

Really, excessive booze and wrongful living on both sides (and maybe drugs) probably had something to do with it in that case. Chances are, on average, men with prior service live cleaner—especially those who are initially checked out more thoroughly and trained harder.

[kearnyirish2]

I’m not even talking about this particular case; in general, these situations are extremely depressing.

It is no accident that so many young men couldn’t be bothered with marriage/families anymore.
