Marked 197 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 First thing that comes to mind from a non-american is americans and their guns. It's very unusual to non-farming families here to have any sort of gun in their home. Secondly, where's the father in all this? No offense to females, but sometimes you go a little nutty without us (or maybe just kiwi woman). It's pretty sick killing your kids, that's just unecessary. Just kill yourself. You have to mentally ill to kill all of your own children like she did. The world is better off without her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Bon 43 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 It's very unusual to non-farming families here to have any sort of gun in their home. I always thought Canada was bad for guns too, but then I read that statement and realized it totally applied directly to here(Canada) as well. I never realized it but civilians for the most part do not have guns here, it's all farmers and bush folk. Accessibility/availability/opportunity definitely plays a part in any crime.

Bigace360 38 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 Found this in the article Also, a friend of Thomas told police she texted him during the night that she wanted to be cremated with her four children, Goodyear said But why, that sounds stupid as shit. What she doesn't want to die and be cremated alone so she decides to take the kids with her? Story makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaacsol 10 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 As a parent, I find this quite shocking. I don't get how some people would ever dare to harm their children. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 These kind of people make me wish I wasn't born in this era. Well it certainly hasn't been any better in the past, so I take it you mean the future. Personally I don't allow myself to feel any sympathy for others like that or wish that everyone would play nice, because the world will always be like that and people will always do cruel and disgusting things to other humans. This is only shocking coz it happened in america, think of all the things that go on in the undeveloped countries and those where the women are practically slaves (which we would consider a primitive culture). It gets a lot worse than this, it won't get any better, so you can only really care about the wellbeing of your friends and family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
