DALLAS -- Authorities have identified six people found dead in a suburban Dallas home in what police said was an apparent murder-suicide plot.

The Allen Police Department said investigators believe brothers Tanvir Towhid, 21, and Farhan Towhid, 19, made a pact to kill their parents, sister and grandmother before killing themselves. The bodies were found early Monday by officers performing a welfare check, Sgt. Jon Felty said.

Hmmm. No firearm mentioned but, will the lame stream still call it a mass shooting?

“No firearm mentioned but, will the lame stream still call it a mass shooting?”

*****

In his letter posted online, little dude talked about how lax gun control laws were in America, just had to fill out some paperwork and lied about the mental illness history. There’s the narrative.

The real question is at any point did they seek “professional” help. Killed the family so they wouldn’t have their lives tainted by the grief of suicidal sons. That’s true mental illness if ever there was.

No gun control measures are going to prevent a citizen with a clean record from obtaining a firearm

Because that’s what it was. There are other articles out there that give more details on the note one of the boys left on Instagram. He did mention shooting the victims.

Exactly what I was wondering. If they were so depressed, did they seek help? Did they communicate that with their parents?

Okay. Does keeping it all in the family still qualify? I mean it meets the fbi’s requirements of 3 or more deceased in the same incident. And, gotta agree about the suicide thing. Just do yourself and leave others alone.

The 'browning of America'. There is actually a book by that title. It's deliberate and evil. And you are absolutely right, those people do not nor will they ever, share our culture, values or history or do they care enough to assimilate.

Obama is a prime example of this. Living in America is not enough to make you an American. That bastard had absolutely nothing American in his background. He was raised in a different 'culture' mindset and turned out marxist.

Actually, they just look like two hyper-smart but crazy teenagers. I don’t think it was Islam related.

Very sad. The family seems to have been good, but I think the older brother was probably nuts and inspired and/or controlled the younger brother.

Thank you for that testimony.

THAT is the kind of information/data America needs right now.

A lot of us suspect and believe certain things are true with just a little evidence.

What you say is absolute validation ... pass this around to everyone

From age 4 through age 10 muslim children are indoctrinated with the koran. At age 11 they cannot add 2 plus 2 but can recite the koran forward and backward. Hitler knew this and therefore the SS became the terror of Germany. So goes the children of the koran. They will never swear allegiance to the Constitution because there is only one law; sharia law, and wlll never assimilate. Trump understood this and restricted the immigration of muslim countries. We are only asking for lifelong problems bringing muslims into the USA.

And regardless, this is what I mean when we talk “mass murder”....as opposed to targeted murder. This is private, targeted murder, not random.

I see nothing pointing to Islam but I see all the red flags pointing to mental illness and it’s handling by our so called modern society. Seems to be the root of most if not all shootings like this. Does a sane person come to the conclusion that he needs to kill his entire family to save them from the grief of him killing himself? We have to start locking these nut jobs back into institutions like we used to.

The def of mass murder as “3 or more dead” is far too loose.

Yes, that can imply “many” but the unspoken understanding of “mass murder” is deliberate killing of random people.

I don’t like this general very low def of MM. it’s used by many conservatives here to “prove” that blacks are as likely to go hunting just for fun, e.g. just because a perp managed to kill all the TARGETED people in one place, or incidentally shot others while aiming for his one intended, does not make this a true “mass murder” as in the random kind you never know you’ll be part of.

my niece graduated from Allen High School several years back. The same school these two murderers went to and I attended her graduation. I almost fell out of my chair... I’d estimate that at least 50% of the graduating class was Indian/South Asian/East Asian/Middle Eastern or African...

none of these people share our culture, values or history... they cannot be americans as a result. they have no conecept of america and mostly have contempt for heritage americans and our way of life.

My daughter graduated from AHS the same year as the twins from this family. We do have a large middle eastern and far eastern population here. From my perspective, they blend in just fine. Some are Christian, some are Hindu, some are Muslim. Most of the folks from Africa that I have met are Catholic.

Any time I have interacted with any of them has been very cordial. I haven't witnessed any contempt for the American way of life. That's why most of them came here ... to get a better way of life than what they could in their home countries.
