Another Man Kills Himself & His Family Behind Economic Woes!

This is the first murder-suicide that I've heard of for this year.I know that a man killed his family last year in California because of economic problems.In this case,there was a murder-suicide involving a couple with 5 kids.Apparently,they were despondent over being fired from there jobs at Kaiser. I've included news clips from both of those murder-suicides above.Here's more from CBS:

"A Los Angeles hospital has confirmed that two of its former employees died in family murder-suicide in the city's Wilmington area.

Kaiser Permanente Medical Center West Los Angeles says in a statement that Ervin Antonio Lupoe and his wife, Ana, were former employees and the hospital is cooperating in the police investigation.

Police say Lupoe shot his wife, 8-year-old daughter, twin 5-year-old daughters and twin 2-year-old boys shortly before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in their home.

The hospital says in its statement, "We are deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of the Lupoe family."

Lupoe, apparently distraught over job problems fatally shot his wife, five young children and himself at their harbor-area home Tuesday.

Shortly before the killings, Lupoe faxed a letter to a TV station claiming that he and his wife had been fired from jobs as medical technicians and she suggested they kill themselves and their children, too.

"Why leave the children to a stranger?" Lupoe wrote, according to KABC-TV.

KABC reported that Lupoe claimed in the fax that an administrator rebuffed them when they showed up to work, told them to file a union grievance and said, "You should have blown your brains out."

Lupoe wrote that they filed a grievance but nothing was done and two days later they were fired, KABC said.

"They did nothing to the manager who started such and did not attempt to assist us in the matter, knowing we have no job and five children under 8 years old with no place to go. So here we are," the note said.

At the bottom of the note, the man wrote, "Oh lord, my God, is there no hope for a widow's son?"

It was the third mass slaying of a family in Southern California since fall."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/27/national/main4756957.shtml

How true it is that money is the root of all evil! I've lost everything in a fire but I was pleased to still have my life!If you believe in God,then you know he will make a way for you.It is the Evil One that puts these thoughts in an individual's head.I mean,it's one thing to take your own life.That's horrific enough!But,to deprive your children of a life is something I will never be able to comprehend.That man would rather murder his children than leave them with someone else.Why? These murder-suicides are totally perplexing to me!What do they think is waiting for them on the other side after they've murdered their whole family & themselves?!It's an impenetrable rationalization!
