This following is a post request from Hit Man since he cannot post topics. I welcome anyone else who wishes to have a topic discussed to let me know as well. Here is his imput on those tragic deaths that we all know much about at this point in time.

Hey ... since I cannot post a "topic" on my own here, I'd like you to jump or "up" this topic to it's own thread...I am actually losing sleep. Yepper, true believers, the great and powerful HITMAN is having a hard time getting to sleep because of something he read about. PLease, allow me to give you some background to clue you in...I am THE Hitman. I got that namesake because I can hit a softball- baseball actually- WAY back when. A great man once said that "hitting was the art of thinking about absolutely NOTHING when it was absolutely necessary." That is something I pride myself on. I am a 2nd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate-do. I have spent a little more than 20 years dedicated to the martial arts in general. And, yes- I can kick your ass in about the same time it takes you to blink...even if I don't let on about it in everyday life. I have used my knowledge and skills when my life was on the line and I do have the scars to prove it. I have never stared down the barrel of a gun, but I have had a knife thrust at my stomach and lived to talk to you now- it's not something I am particularly proud of, but it's also not something I'm scared of either. Long story short- I have actually BEEN THERE and DONE THAT. Yet here I am at 1:24 AM and not sleeping because I cannot get a horror out of my head.I can't even remember the names- the family name of the people that died here in Richmod Virginia. All I can remember is the faces that my imagination gave to them. A family of 4... father and mother- husband and wife- and their 2 children...a girl of 9 and a girl of 5. DEAR GOD WHY CAN"T I REMEMBER THE NAME??Maybe because I have chosen to forget- self defense mechanism of my mind. I've never heard exactly what happened with the investigation of the killings- does it really matter anyway? They're dead! And even that ain't the half of it...If it were a family killed in a car accident, it wouldn't even hit my consciousness- accidents happen. A fire?? DAMN, bad luck...But this...this just keeps running through my head like an all-too-vivid nightmare. This family was found killed execution style. All 4 of them with tape around their wrists and mouths...throats cut. Do you get that....remember this wasn't just some man and some woman here. This was a 9 AND A 5 YEAR OLD GIRL TOO!!!Can you even comprehend this? The basement of some unknow house...a killer or 2...for some unknown and frankly, who gives a shit WHY reason...snatch this family up out if bed (I am merely imagining here....else how could this have happened?)...even if the father owed you 10 ba-zillion dollars....HOW CAN SOMEONE CUT THE THROAT OF A TIED UP 5 YEAR OLD GIRL!!Please bear with me here, I know it's now 1:36 AM and I'm a bit loopy. I just cannot get this out of my head right now, even though this happen some months ago...How does someone- cold blooded bastard though they may be- take a trembling, terrified, 5 year old girl in their hands....pull back their head, and visciously draw a knife across their throat...Sweet Jesus...I don't know at this point whether I will actually post this. I'm not entirely sure I want people I know personally knowing that this kinda stuff is going through my mind....But how can it not?? I'm a step-father of 2 girls...1 8 years old and 1 who is 6. I'm not even their "real" father- I can't have kids myself, so just being a part of their lives is a blessing the likes of which I could never have dreamed of. Maybe that's it....maybe since I cannot actually father a child, all life seems that much more precious to me. Maybe I'm just making way more out of this than anyone should have a right to...NO DAMMIT!!! Someone killed these kids in a way that even adults should cringe at. I wanna know- did these murdering bastards slit their throats in front of their parents?? Or did they make the kids watch their parents getting killed first?? Dear God...tonight I pray to you for one thing...If there is a thing called justice grant this ONE prayer...Let ME find these cold-blooded sons-a-bitches. Give me just 10 minutes alone with them in a locked cell. I won't kill them- I swear by all that is Holy, they will NOT die. Matter of fact, I volunteer to help HEAL them...so that every OTHER father gets their OWN 10 minutes alone with them. So, that every OTHER mother who has ever cared for a child gets their pound of flesh...every single civilized being on the planet who has ever thought "enough is enough" gets to ask that one burning, glaring question...."WHY!!!!????"Writing has always been a sort of release for me. But I could write something about this every night, for the rest of my life and never get that horrible picture out of my head. What were those KIDS thinking...what thoughts could a 5 and a 9 year old kid possibly conjure up that could even begin to comprehend what was going on there that night? Did they realize what was happening to them in those few moments it took for them to bleed to death? Or was the pain so overwhelming that they couldn't think at all???But I can't think about that- can you? How could those MONSTERS who did this NOT think about that?? And this is not some made up story...this happened. Not so long ago...and not so long FROM NOW. Yeah, this shit happens...Maybe this'll hit you like it hit me...sort of out of the blue one day when your biggest worry was making your rent payment on time. Maybe when you ignore the yelling coming from the apartment next door. Or maybe just when you are trying to get to sleep one night...This shit happens...this is OUR world...and I don't even know what to tell you we should do about it...I just know it keeps me awake at night...

This is a story that i have tried not to think about since hearing the specifics. The bad thing is that at first I thought that mom and dad had to be into some serious shit to have this happen to the family. Then to find out that this was a random act of violence and what the family( the children more importantly) had to endure in their last moments was something that was extremely hard to swallow. As stated, I have tried to forget the specifics, but fuck, this shit happened basically down the street from anyone living in this city. Any murder is senseless and devastating to society. When you add to small children to the mix, it does raise that question of why? No one knows but no one deserves this end from a couple of brain dead, drugged out thugs who are souless in every form of the word. Thanks Hitman for sending this. It is truly something to think about.
