This is why i dont watch the news

I am not fond of the news, It only reports bad and depressing things. Maybe every now and then  I may read an article about something neutral.

Well last June a man in my city killed his two kids and mother-in-law because he and his wife were going through a divorce. I had heard about this and it made me sick. Well his trial was last week and they convicted him, so today was the hearing part where he tries to appeal to the jury that he his human and not to give him the death penalty.

So i started reading the article because i wanted to see what they had decided(because honestly anyone who can kill in cold blood like that deserves to be takin to an empty field in shot in cold blood, :"an eye for an eye)

Well i was reading this article and started off with his testimony. It was seven hours long and he went on about his childhood and how he met his wife and so on. Then he started to tell about how he was enraged and PLANNED to kill his kids(who were 5 and 3) but he didnt plan on killing his mother-in-law. He talked about how he slit their throats and tried to do it fast so that they didnt feel pain. And that they didnt die in vein.

I HAD TO STOP READING IT!!!

I started crying. How could anyone take their own children’s life. you bring them into this world to try and give them an oppurtunity to make the world better and you cut it short because of the selfish reason that you dont want to put them through a divorce. WTF There are some extremely phsycotic people in the world.

I would die if anything happened to my kids. Sometimes i wish i was born in the time where there wasnt as much crime, but i can only deal with the here and now.
