“I am absolutely blown away,” local resident Jason White added. “This is a very relaxed, very quiet, family-oriented, high-rent district. It’s an extremely safe area."

I hope this guy is next.  Do people really still think that paying extra to live in a "nice" neighborhood will somehow prevent bad things from happening?

This is a case of murder/suicide, something that can happen in any neighborhood.  Living in a good neighborhood will go a long way towards shielding you from violence perpetrated by strangers (read non-Whites), and it’s worth it to pay extra to live in a good neighborhood for this reason.  Below is a more detailed article on what happened.

It doesn't freak me out at all that it happened near me; I think this website has desensitized me.

I miss cult mass suicides. When are we going to have some more of those?

Those start 5 to 10 years after the murder-suicides peak; the productive sort take matters into their own hands.

Yes.  Yes they do.  In a thread on the movie board I frequent concerning guns someone said

I prefer to live in a safe neighborhood rather then own a gun.

A "safer" neighborhood is a start but yes, criminals don't give two shits where you live.

umm...Everyone seems to forget that guns are merely a convient way to kill.

Papa (here) did it with a medium priced Henkels carver.   One would assume he would at least have the decency to use a Zwilling...
