ParticipantMore titillating news.
I wonder what kind of financial troubles there were in. Real Estate must not have been that great.http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-montage24apr24,0,3195165.story?coll=la-home-headlines

ParticipantDaughter says of parents, “They weren’t bad people…. they weren’t crazy people…..
and, “the gun was not intended to be used in a violent way.”
Just for show? To get someone else to do the deed? And, with vacationers nearby who probably just wanted to “get away from it all.”

ParticipantWho wants to bet that they had multiple investment properties on the verge of reseting? You see folks, this is just the beginning of this madness. You will more of this later this year as the major waves of resets begin to hit in SoCal. Okay, so fire away at me for being insensitive.

ParticipantHorrifying that part of this happened in front of an 8-year-old.
Guns, alcohol, kids, and lots of innocent bystanders. What were they thinking? While it’s tragic that two people were killed, it’s possible that others could have died had the police not taken action.
And this from ocregister.com:

The Parks were due in court Monday for a meeting about a civil lawsuit. Laguna Beach police are also investigating whether a visit by sheriff’s deputies to the Parks’ home Friday could be related to what happened less than 48 hours later. …
The meeting with deputies Friday was requested by Joni Park, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said. She said she “had some information” about an undisclosed case, he said. At about 10:30 a.m. Friday, two deputies rolled up to the Parks’ home for what Amormino called an “informational” police call that was not criminal in nature. An online sheriff’s log listed a call on Dardania Avenue as “Fraud Report.”

ParticipantI’m sure that it was caused by too many violent video games.
Oh wait! They were over 25. Gosh, you mean people who don’t play video games can be psycho too?

ParticipantI hate contradict you Noone, but I believe that at one time or another these poor people may have been in close proximity to those under 25, and thus may have been exposed to harmful levels of video games. Preliminary studies have shown that second hand video game violence is almost as bad as direct exposure. I’ll keep you all updated on this fascinating topic.
Frivolity aside, it sounds like the police involved may have been playing too many video games as well. Police shot them both and there was only one gun that they both pointed at the officers at various times? The story I read in the Union Trib doesn’t quite add up. There must be a bit more to the story.
April 24, 2007 at 1:43 PM #51011ParticipantFrom what I’ve read, the police say the wife had the gun when they shot her, then the husband grabbed the gun and they shot him, then the wife grabbed the gun again and they shot her again.
It sounded strange at first to me too.
In an ideal world we’d have police robots with pepper spray, bean bag guns, and Tasers, but sounds like things got out of hand very quickly.
April 24, 2007 at 2:01 PM #51015ParticipantJust speculating here. I wonder if suicide-by-cop would entitle the heirs to life insurance payout. Obviously, suicide-by-self would not allow the heirs to collect.
This sounds like a good made-for-tv movie script.

Participantactually–two years AND A DAY a day after a life insurance policy is “in force”, suicide-by-self WOULD allow the heirs to collect…

ParticipantAnother strange one: This Realtor drove his golf cart over a cliff. Might as well go out in style.

ParticipantJust think, up until the day before, they were probably providing their expert opinions to buyers and sellers about the real estate market, and being paid 3% to give it.

ParticipantWhen I saw that story yesterday, I thought to myself, wouldn’t that be odd if he was involved in real estate. Well, there you have it.
