Sorry, but this guy doesn't get any sympathy from me. I'm not buyin' the mental illness condition one bit. It was a 'love triangle' and the majority of those MURDERED, were 'collateral damage.'
The fact is, he and an ex had a baby. The ex, started dating someone else, moved in with her new b/f's family and the bf and his INNOCENT family paid the price. Although his ex and I'm assuming brand new baby moved into the home of the NEW b/f and his parents, everyone else, including the new b/f, paid the price because this guy was jealous.
There's no question of motive, and the result was MULTIPLE murderS, including an unborn child.
I know this sounds harsh, but I'm glad he killed himself and saved the state the cost of housing, trying him, and then housing him for the rest of his life. Just wish he'd killed himself before he killed all those innocent people.
This scenario plays over and over and over again in our society. Just because he was messed up, doesn't mean he had to kill so many innocents, because he didn't like his own life.
JMHO
