How can a parent kill...

[kitKat]

His or her own child??

Last night in Dallas this man shot and killed his ex-wife and 8 yr old son as well shot his 12 yr. old son, he is still alive. The father then killed himself. He had been divorced from ex-wife for two years, she recently remarried. The father (killer) was living in St. Louis and had come down to take out both his sons for dinner, it had been the 8 yr. old's birthday the day before.

This was not in you poor white trash neighbohood either, it was in Highland Park, you have to be seriously weathly to live there.

I swear my heart can't take all this tragedy!! I thought I was starting to get over the Sept. 11th thing and this brought it all back.

People are going wacko kitkat...there is no sane explination for this.

Wodin is right, the world is fucked for no reason.

Man was A FUCKING COWARD plain and simple. Sounds like the MOTHER FUCKER was of the opinion, "If I can not have you - NO ONE WILL!"

The sonofabitch should've just shot himself in the head and did THE WORLD A FAVOR.

There are many out there that don't give A FUCKING SHIT about their children. All they care about is how to make their spouse/ex-spouse fucking miserable .....so they often use the children to hurt their exes. So, so sad...but TERRIBLY TRUE.

Money is NOT what makes a person......CHARACTER IS. Unfortunately, all too often the two ARE mutually exclusive. One would think that if a person was smart enough to amass some degree of wealth then that would me that that were A)Smart and B)Had some type of work ethic or strength of character. NOT TRUE!

MONEY DOES NOT MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND.....(But love don't pay the rent neither).

We all have to pay our bills, but when all is said and done I would much rather sleep peacefully at night perhaps a bit worried how I am going to pay for all that my girls and I need but have my freedom and independence than to have to live on my knees being "taken care of" being treated like less than the family dog.

In no way a justification:

He was still in love with his ex-wife.

He loved his two kids.

Ex-wife found new man, ex-husband felt intimidated/jealous
because he didn't want to be replaced in the eyes of his children.

Suffered for the last two years, reaching out to his ex, being denied, kids start talking about the new man in their life, dad is in emotional pain and feels that this is his family, and they should be with him, dead or alive. Ex-wife wouldn't take him back.
He felt it would be better for them to all die, than to spend their lives apart. Looked for new love, but couldn't find it. His wife could though. She moved on, he couldn't. Emotional breakdown.

We definately have seen more and more of these unfathomable crimes committed over the past few years. In no way do I condone, or try and make an excuse, the above is not an excuse, more a reason, either way it is obviously sickening, but I'd imagine that the above was similar to the way he felt. I really feel for 12 year old. Your brother, mom, and dad are dead, and you're shot, all at the hands of the man you thought loved you.
And, if you think about it, he did. He couldn't stand to be away from them. So sad.

That part just rips my heart out!! That poor little boy.

I don't know. It makes no sense. My children are the most beautiful, wonderful things in the world to me.

How anyone could ever do their child harm is beyond me. It breaks my heart to spank my kids, even if he's chewing on the cord of a plugged in appliance.

Who knows what triggered in his head. Who knows how long he had it planned out, or if it was just spontaneous. Maybe he thought they'd all be together again... maybe he just didn't want anyone to have them if he couldn't. It sounds like he did it out of heartbreak, not hatred.

But that is no excuse. I'm glad the man is dead. He deserves to be. The only thing I don't like about him being dead, is the fact that I didn't get to kill him.
