Recession = higher murder + suicide rates



A man in los angeles has killed his wife and 5 Children.

Here in Los Angeles California; Wilmington to be exact. A man on Monday night came home and proceeded to kill not only his wife but also his 5 children with several gun shots to their heads, before killing himself.

The reasoning behind the killings, is believed to be that the couple had been fired the week before from a Kaiser Hospital after a misconduct probe. To highlight the matter further Ervin Antonio Lupo sent a letter to a Los Angeles television station highlighting what he had planned to do.

The letter received at KABC-TV shortly after 8 a.m. said Lupoe and his wife had made a suicide pact. It referred to an investigation into employment misrepresentation in connection with a child care issue. (The probe involved allegations of fraud, according to sources familiar with the inquiry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the inquiry was ongoing.)

"So after a horrendous ordeal," the letter said, "my wife felt it better to end our lives, and why leave our children in someone's else's hands. . . ."

This economy has left so many people including myself, without jobs and money and whilst it is easy to see why people turn to suicide, when there are children involved, there is no excuse on earth as to why you should take your own life, let alone the lives of other children,
