    Then maybe it would make more sense to not make a nonesense post about something you know nothing and care nothing about

      A horrible, twisted end to a sick saga starring a disgusting coward. The book and the movie, of course, will be out soon. Makes me feel ill.

        Or you could, you know, read what I wrote and avoid getting your panties in a twist over something I didn't say.

          Emotions always run high when something awful like this happens. Everyone chill and just imagine what horror this poor family is going through.

            You're a clown, but Vikings right. This isn't the place.

                Exactly. If anything the government looks too permissive and trusting right now. The fact of biological parentage may carry too much benefit of doubt in our system. People should be asking what those kids were doing there.

                  You know the guy just murdered both his little kids. Oh, but your point is maybe he judge drove him to it.

                        It was a supervised visit. He shoved the worker off the doorstep when they showed up and then locked the door behind him. The worker immediately called her superiors and the house blew up. I think the guy would have to have been convicted for him to not get at least supervised visits.
                        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                              I was supposed to do a bunch of work tonight. I can't do it. This has really impacted me...I have no connection to this family and can't claim to have followed the story closely. But the thought that two little boys, who have family that love them and a long life ahead of them, are now dead because their father literally torched them is something that will keep me up for many nights. I really don't get how anyone could premeditate something like this let alone execute it. It's horrific.

                                I feel terribly for all involved. The CPS officer must feel terrible. Sounds like she could not have done anything to prevent what happen.
