Residents of a Los Angeles suburb are grieving the deaths of 6 people who died yesterday at the hands of a deranged man who shot them before turning the gun on himself.
Ervin Antonio Lupoe of Wilmington, killed his family and committed suicide after he and his wife lost their jobs at Kaiser Permanente.
Before he died — and probably after killing his entire family — Lupoe faxed a rambling letter to a local TV station claiming his wife suggested he murder her and their children before turning the gun on himself so the children wouldn’t have to live in poverty as a result of his unemployment.
According to the station, KABC-TV, Mr Lupoe wrote: “Why leave the children to a stranger?” (LINK)
Dead are his wife Ana and their children – 8-year-old Brittney, 5-year-old twin girls Jaszmin and Jassely and two-year-old twin boys Benjamin and Christian.
Unfortunately, that stimulus package that Congress is voting on today doesn’t include much in the way of immediate relief for families like the Lupoes who are faced with homelessness. Barack Obama’s stimulus package contains millions of dollars for ACORN, the arts and so-called “green” projects that supposedly will create jobs, but no one has explained just how those jobs will be created.
In the meantime, the Lupoe family is dead. The residents in their neighborhood are grieving, city officials are wringing their hands and blaming the economy — but at least those abortion groups overseas got their money from Obama.
