Title: True Crime
Post by: mshray on December 25, 2006, 02:33:05 AM
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.

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