MILTON, Mass. (March 30) - With her long hair and model's poise, 17-year-old Samantha Revelus exuded confidence when she recited an original poem Saturday afternoon about a strong woman who stood up to "ignorant souls." An hour after she finished rehearsal for an upcoming poetry reading, Samantha was dead on the floor of her family's home.
She had been stabbed, police say, by her 23-year-old brother. Kerby Revelus then decapitated his 5-year-old sister as her birthday cake from the day before sat on the kitchen table, before turning on his 9-year-old sister, who called police. Responding officers broke down the door and shot him dead. The first one inside had witnessed Bianca's beheading.
Sarafina was hospitalized Sunday with defensive wounds to her hands and stab wounds in her abdomen and one of her legs. "In policing, we see the raw human emotion every day, but to think that a human being could afflict such an atrocious, violent act on his own family is unbelievable," Milton police Chief Richard G. Wells Jr. said Sunday. "When I walked up to the first officer (on the scene), I could see the whole story right in his face. This just told me that this was something very bad."
That's true Jen, it's the signs of the time. Positively speaking..."It won't be long now!"

MENTACIDE is surely on the rise Sister!!! And over here in New Orleans the death of a 55-day old baby remains a mystery, no one is answering the door to his family home and no neighbors and police are speaking out about this matter. Then a teacher here was arrested last week for masturbating in front of several high school students. Then on New Year's Day here a man confessed to killing his 2-year old son because he could no longer afford to pay child support, before confessing his involvement he had the nerve to say that a white man murdered his child. It makes me wanna scream, "NO, NO, NO, not God Bless America, God Damn America"!!!
We definitely have to keep the mother of these children up lifted in prayer.

It maybe a combination of the economy, drugs, and the 'signs of the times', but I agree prayer is needed. The situation with the brother killing his sisters in just inconceivable and to know that he beheaded her... my goodness. Lord have mercy on that family.

Shootings, murder-suicide raise broader question: Is violence linked to recession? ...Still, criminologists do say that certain kinds of violent crimes have risen during specific economic downturns. The recession in the early 1990s "saw a dramatic increase in workplace violence committed by vengeful ex-workers who decided to come back and get even with their boss and their co-workers through the barrel of an AK-47," Mr. Levin says. And in the midst of this downturn, one study released Monday in Florida finds a link between domestic violence and economic tragedies like job loss and foreclosures... http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20090330/ts_cs...
