I'll never understand in a million years why a person, if they cannot bear to lose some material possession like a house, wants to kill their kids. Themselves, yes, if they're that shallow - but why the poor innocent children?? A three and five year old could not care less about some stupid house!!

Yes, I'm sure to most here I'm a bore and I grew up in the era when the news WAS boring, not entertainment.
Just the other day, on Megyn Kelly's new show on Fox, she and some guy were laughing about Karaoke singers being murdered in some foreign country because their singing was so bad. Now - if that were some Seinfeld episode they were discussing - that would be appropriate.
But these were humans beings ACTUALLY being murdered. That's funny ?!
I think people do not distinguish between reality & fantasy anymore.

That is a very valid point you make Niko - this will serve as a warning to others and may even save lives. And I really don't object to the story per se if the media had kept the man's name out of it. Keep him anonymous so as to preserve his family's dignity to some extent, like they do rape and most suicide victims(well, unless they're famous suicides) .

No, not hate, just unecessary & cruel to the family. Would you think this so hysterically funny if it had happened to your son? Your father?

I really feel for this man's loved ones.
Why was it deemed so newsworthy to publish all the gory details - that were guaranteed to hold the man up to unnecessary public ridicule?
Was this story so important in world affairs that it had to be posted on the Drudge Report? I think not.
Why not simply state that the man was electrocuted as a result of hitting a power pole and he accidentally came into contact with the live wire?
But then it loses all its sick appeal to the voyeurs our society has become.
