A man loses his job and kills his entire family and then kills himself

Would you kill yourself if you lost your job? Well recently in a home in Los Angeles neighborhood of Wilmington, a man kills his five children, his wife and then himself all because of losing his job. There was one 8 year old girl and 2 sets of twins- 5 year old girls and 2 year old boys. It was a beautiful family, and I can’t believe something like this happened, it’s truly a tragedy. The father and mother both were fired from a medical center, although losing your job hurts because you don’t know how you’re going to provide for your family, you still shouldn’t result to violence. The father and 3 girls were in one room and the mother and the 2 boys were in the other. I’m tearing up just thinking about this murder suicide. Is it that possible to feel that much pain, to want to kill your family and yourself? The man should have considered talking to someone before even thinking about that. He could have spoken to a therapist or any other mental health professional. He probably wasn’t a man of GOD, because if he was, he would understand that the lord wouldn’t put more on us than we can bear. It’s no need to end your life, who said life was easy. It’s been times when I was mad, and felt like I didn’t want to be here, but I start thinking and praying because I love my life no matter what problems I may face. I am deeply distraught by the lupoe family death and I will keep their family and friends in my prayers.

I read this article and it also made me a little teary-eyed! From my understanding the husband and wife were both fired from their hospital jobs, and the entire plot was the wife's idea. How you could set up a plot to do away with your entire family is beyond anything I could have thought of, but I'm assuming he felt he was doing it out of love?! I wouldn't be surprised if there are more cases similar to this one that arise or maybe we haven't heard about. The economy is terrible and people are desperate. Desperate times really do call for desperate measures!
