Arrest made in Fl slayings...don't think we picked this one though. Has to be one of the 'worst' most pitiful sickening excuses ever given for killing.

[Recovering Hermit]

"Officials struggling to come up with a motive for the crime believe the killings were committed over the theft of some clothes and an Xbox (news - web sites) game system owned by Victorino,"

Clothes and an X-Box...Well, that'll teach 'em. I wonder what the penalty would be for ripping off their car?

[tutstar]

I've been waiting to hear what went down. I just can't believe that people will kill for a 'suspected theft'. Though I have good understanding of the Bible this wickedness still leaves me baffled.

Don't let this article kid you. The theft was either among the same gang or between members of a gang and I bet there was money missing or drugs or some other such thing. The X-box et. al. was just to rattle the other guys cage when they stole it.

Last time I knew someone selling, and he fell behind in payments to me for legitimate things, he went on the lam, and finally got whacked by his buddies.

The news articles always state something else. It was a robbery in the case I am familiar with. BS......

Just watch a sermon on "anger".

Preacher was right on regarding the destrucive element, esp. lashing out.

Another good point he made is when we control others via are anger they may walk our way once or twice but eventually they will resent us.

This fellow sadly let anger manage him and brought destruction in evil ways.

[Travis McGee]

Pure evil. The tip of the emerging cultural iceberg.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Victim in gruesome Florida slayings has NW ties 06:27 PM PDT on Sunday, August 8, 2004
By DEBORAH FELDMAN / KING 5 News AP
Investigators surround a home in Deltona, Fla., Saturday, Aug. 7, 2004, where four men and two women were found slain Friday after one of them failed to show up for an early morning shift at a nearby Burger King.

LAKEWOOD, Wash.

- Donna McKay's grief is almost palpable. Her family has been locked in a living nightmare since Friday morning, when four men and two women were found beaten and stabbed to death inside a Florida home.

It's believed McKay's niece, Erin Belanger, was the primary target due to a` terrible chain of events. "She was just 22 ? coming into life," said McKay.

According to McKay, Erin moved to Florida with her boyfriend five months ago and was asked to check on her grandparent's winter home.

"When she went into the house, there were people living there who weren't supposed to be there. so she had to call the cops," said McKay. A neighbor said the house was ransacked.

KING Erin Belanger and her boyfriend, Francisco Ayo Roman, moved to Florida five months ago.

"It looked like a frat house. Every room had been used, there was food all over the place, the garbage was full and overflowing. Its obvious that they were just in there taking advantage of the place," said Tracy Rivera.

According to McKay, the squatters were angry about being kicked out, and even more upset when Erin boxed up their belongings, including clothes and an x-box.

Mckay says the group harassed Erin repeatedly, forcing her to call 911 half a dozen times. Video Deborah Feldman reports

"Why didn't the cops listen before? Why did somebody have to die?" said McKay.
Police believe the 27-year-old ringleader of the group recruited three 18 year olds to help get even.

According to police, the four suspects entered this house and bludgeoned all Erin, her boyfriend, their four roommates, and even their dog as they slept.

"My brother had to send down dental records. They can't use them ... because they bashed her face in so bad," said McKay.
Police have arrested all four suspects. All have been charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary, the Volusia County sheriff's department said.
Suspected ringleader Troy Victorino, 27, of Deltona, was "very guarded" during questioning, Sheriff Ben Johnson said. Three 18-year-olds were also arrested Saturday: Robert Cannon of Orange City and Jerone Hunter and Michael Salas, both of Deltona.

Erin's family and the sheriff dealing with the case, have called for the death penalty. The four suspects are scheduled for a bail hearing on Monday.

The 27-year-old suspected ringleader has spent eight of the past eleven years in prison for a variety of crimes.

The sheriff's office identified five of the victims as Michelle Ann Nathan, 19; Anthony Vega, 34; Roberto "Tito" Gonzalez, 28, who recently moved from New York; Belanger's boyfriend Francisco Ayo Roman, 30; and Jonathan Gleason, 18.

The liberals won't allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed.

Maybe if one of these rotten killers had seen the commandment, "Thou Shall Not Kill," at one time in their lives, just maybe they would have thought twice before doing what they did.

[subterfuge]

I think an appropriate sentence for ALL of these guys is:
Pick them up with a crane of whatever, raise them up to about 25 feet or so, and then drop them. Repeat until almost dead. Then, nurse them back to health and repeat process again. Sick yes, but they'll never trouble anyone again.
