A family of 7;8-year-old girl, twin 5-year-old girls, and twin 2-year-old boys all shot to death in Los Angeles, California. Not by a junkie or a serial killer or a burglar, by their father who was upset over loosing his job. Is this proof of the crumbling economy? No. This is proof that there was yet another man who needed therapy and wasn’t seeking it. Ervin Lupoe, after being let go from his job as a medical technician, shot his wife and five children before turning a hand gun on himself. But not before writing a suicide note, faxing the local news station, pulling his kids out of school several weeks in advance stating a family move, and calling local authorities to report the shooting. I guess it was nice of him not to let his family’s bodies rot until someone came to see why none of them had been seen. I can not fathom what kind of sick, weak man would do this to his own family. I don’t think I’m being cold or cruel at all and if you do then maybe you need to imagine this:
You have five children to support, your wife and you have both been let go from your jobs. What is the first thing you do? I fully understand the state of the economy, the job market, etc… however I can guarantee that most of you aren’t thinking you would kill your family and yourself. This story makes me so angry. This man should have killed himself and let at least his small children live! In his fax to the news station he wrote, "Why leave the children to a stranger?" Hmmm I don’t know maybe because then they wouldn’t have been shot to death? This story has no grey area. This man is a murderer and I wish he would have lived to remember the horrible atrocities he committed.
Lupoe also wrote that his employer said to him, “You should not even have bothered to come to work today. You should have blown your brains out.” Obviously this was not the best way to let go your employee, in fact that boss is a huge jerk. But guess what Ervin Lupoe my boss is on a fast track to hell also, and when he is condescending or insulting I think to myself, “I can’t wait to get home and see my family, the people I love who make life worth living.”
