Video cameras are good for evidence but when lives are at stake nothing is better for self defense than having a firearm and knowing how to use it.

Apparently you must be new to this site. This is a QUIET day for the bigots, haters and morons. You are right USA, these guys were just plain scum. The question I have 'What was their motive'. If you ask me, it was just FOR PRACTICE. That is chilling!

sad that we can't even open our doors as we things like this happens everyday, and we have to purchase a gun to protect ourselves...I guess all the guns in the world still did not make us a safer country to live in. Go Figure.

You're right. I live in a part of the country where few of us lock our doors either. If they wanted to get in to hurt me, they could and the half hour it takes for the sheriff to get here, why bother. i do have to dogs to alert me though.

That being said though, this family is different. I'm sure some of those kids must be mobile. Wouldn't you think they'd at least lock the doors to keep the kids in at night so they don't go off wandering? I would think that's just a basic saftey precaution.

Murder is wrong anyway you slice it, and if guilty, these guys should fry, but after the maddoff and other things wealthy individuals have been getting away with as of late, what's so hard about believing that this guy perhaps wasn't so lily-white as he wanted everyone to believe. Why were he and his wife shot and none of the kids?

A lot of it just doesn't make much sense.

itgranny -- I'm bothered by parts of this story, too. It was reported that their doors were not locked. But with all of those special needs kids, I'd think they would have to lock the doors to make sure the kids did not get out and wander off. I know they had surveillance cameras everywhere but unless the doors were alarmed the kids could get out at night while the parents were sleeping. That is the part of this story that I cannot wrap my head around.

Whatever the reason in the warped mind of the accused murderers, killers of those two people who provided life to disabled children, killed them in pre-meditated cold blood, will find little compassion from the trier of fact.

Anyone else get the feeling there's more to this story? If it were one killer, you think crazy jerk, 2-3 and you think robbery gone bad, but to have 6 at the moment and maybe more!

The story just doesn't seem to sit right with me.

They said this guy had a loan business. Maybe that's got more to do with it than the news is telling.
