About the P word, I don't think any of them really like him. Maybe they fear him, I don't know.

I saw this story on several different news sites today. Did you know that there is one who is saying this was just a sad end, due to a medical condition.
Are you kidding me. My father had a medical condition. He didn't shoot my mother.
This was a murder-suicide. MURDER in capital letters!!

Yep, it is sad, but to try and make it seem ok or just sad is very very sicko. MURDER IS MURDER!!!

Evidently this was a mercy killing. Unfortunately, California's "Right To Die" law does not become effective until 2016 - what a shame it takes so long. Prayers for the families of these desperate folks.

Man, I have to say, after reading al this and other places, I am going home to ask my husband> "if I get real sick will you take me to a hospital for take me out and shoot me?"

Of course not! She may have requested he do this since she could not end her life with medication - i.e., "mercy killing". It may have been an agreed upon act.
