True Crime

Don't know how many of you saw this on the front page of Sunday's Chron, but this took place at 1631 25th, in the home next door to my mother-in-law's. Christina & I lived with her mom at 1635 our first 4 yrs in SF and we got to know the Hunters fairly well.  Click on the picture of Mr. Hunter (the old guy top right) & he seems to be pointing over his shoulder at my old house.  Tragic that the officer was killed (& the felon for that matter), but we are all relived that the Hunters weren't harmed.

another sad father-kills-kids-and-then-self story, nothing really new:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2007/01/04/state/n091920S58.DTL

But I do love the quote at the very end:

"He was very religious. He was not in his right mind," said a family friend.

Says it all, really.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I'm reading Sam Harris' The End of Faith right now, and that's pretty much his exact point.
