Not good.  Story had a link to another story of two nude dead girls hog tied and thrown off an overpass to a road below.  The guy who discovered the bodies was interviewed and was grinning like he was watching a baseball game or eating a favorite food.    The criminals are out of control, the public is numb to it, and the system is so overtaxed it can't keep up.

The crime rate is the lowest it has been in years and the reason the media keeps pushing shock stories about crime is because people keep being shocked by it---but I do agree that our judicial system isn't doing what it is supposed to due to lack of resources.

Plus the media has an agenda to push.  A murder/suicide automatically becomes a "mass shooting" that will be used to push for more restrictions on our rights.  Letting leftists take control of the news media was the biggest mistake ever made by those who value freedom.

This is not the typical leave it to beaver family.  Lots of felony police contact over the years. 

This is not the first close family member this punk has shot and killed with a gun.  In a "hunting accident" this punk shot and killed one of his sons.   He served 3 years for that.  Sounds like prosecutors felt that was a murder also, but pled it down to make sure he did some jail time rather than let him go free. 

It does not matter what headline we put on this, this admin will use stories like this one to demonize guns and push for more gun restrictions.

Hunting accident my a$$

Sounds like the gun use was just incidental, the same intent and result could have been carried out with a blunt object or anything else the guy's sick creativity brought to hand.  It's a sad statement about PEOPLE, not an indictment of gun ownership.
