This is what you get when you have extremists bashing Nadia Suleman (who bigots call Octomom). Such hatred excites others to commit acts of violence. May a tragic end come to all 3 killers.

I doubt that. Stevie McNair was offed by mistress #1. I would have suspected the wife, but the gun was with the dead girlfriend who died of only one shot. He died of 4.

As for MJ, maybe he over-exerted himself, or maybe he overdosed. It is so convenient for the doctor to just up and disappear. And why were there surgical medications in his house? Who needs Diprovan in their own home?

As for this case, it was 3 people, and there could have been something personal involved, we don't know. But it sounds like it may have been targetted.

Not according to the video recovered from the security system. It was clearly a home-invasion.

As for the kids, this was a wealthy family who adopted in order to share their wealth and help those who needed it. 12 were adopted, so it was clearly not a welfare dependency issue. My guess would be it was a vendetta or a dispute over money.

The adopted them because the are generous people. The probably loved children. Some people just want lots of kids because kids are great.

It says right in the article they are looking for 3 white men!

They may have been targeted because they have money. They owned multiple businesses.

It's heartbreaking to think of the children losing their parents. They finally have a permanent home and this happens.

My heart goes out to the children. Now they will have to placed in different homes again. Having the security of a home and caring family for the children then just taken away in a day is just terrible. God Bless the children

Well, that's crazy to claim this crime had anything to do with the number of kids in the family.

And it's perfectly sensible for society to note that Octomom is highly disturbed and irresponsible. We know this for many reasons, but even just on the basis of her lying to various fertility doctors to get her cabbage patch obsession fulfilled.

You have to rule out the absurd so you can be left with the possible.

Yes, noting irresponsibility is sensible. Being intolerant, being hateful, and making death threats is not. Like you, I don't tolerate hypocrisy, and when the most "tolerant" people are advocating death and making threats, we must all admit something is wrong.

Those killers can't even be called human as they are not humane. They are vile, vicious monsters who should be slowly tortured before being killed.

My heart breaks for these poor kids. Especially the one (or more) that discovered the parents' bodies. How does a child ever forget an image like that?

First, you don't recognize that Octomom is irresponsible.

Second, this idea of death threats against Octomom or other deranged "Quiver" people is a gross exaggeration, while allowing for the fact that almost anyone in the public eye is subject to some sort of stalking or internet rhetoric or death threats. Octomom is not eligible for some special victim status as you posit, but she should be eligible for psychiatric help. Or ordered to get some.

Third, no one who is making death threats is being touted as "tolerant," as your typically addled post argues.

Well that's sad. Even if they were wealthy taking care of the kids personally would be very hard.

After reading the article and watching the news video,the conclusion that this was merely a home invasion seems to leave something lacking.
Nothing was reportedly taken from the home, no one threatened the other occupants of the home, no one saw the perps.

No report of the house being ransacked as it would have been if someone had been looking for drugs, cash or other valuables.

Sounds more like an amateur execution and without more details, trying to fathom that is pointless.
