Chronicles Of Depression 2.0: #317: Crackup

Six dead in Los Angeles murder-suicide: police
Six people were discovered dead on Monday at a house in a upmarket suburb in northern Los Angeles in what police described as a suspected murder-suicide.

[. . .]

However the Los Angeles Times cited an unnamed Los Angeles Police Department source as saying that a man suffering financial problems had shot his mother, wife and three children before taking his own life.

According to a real estate website, homes in the gated community where the bodies were found are valued at between 700,000 to 830,000 dollars.

Emphasis added by me.

As I said in Chronicles Of Depression 2.0: #245: Humans:
I have seen people react to the lack of money in terrible ways

There's a prime example.

Millions more to follow.
