Didn't the Bergs live out near there?

The victims were Hossam Armanious, 46; his wife, Amal Garas, 36; and their daughters, Sylvia Armanious, 16, and Monica Armanious, 8. My knee-jerk reaction is that this is a Christian Arab family living in a neighbor flowing with Muslims. I'm waiting to see the tenant dispute reveal Islamic names.

The brother couldn't get the door opened so immediately called the police? That makes no sense. Who, if that concerned, wouldn't break a window or bash in the door?

Well said, anyway about a month ago there was a cab driver who was Coptic Orthodox, engaged to be married and was about to head off into the Seminary to become a Priest. It was a horrible story but also something that I wonder about.

Sketchy details, but you're correct, this scenario doesn't pass the "burglary" smell test.
I note the "wife" has a different last name. Maybe that's an Islam thing?

Yeah, two 'agents' are sent to sleep here...
they learn to like the USA, have a few kids...
then the pyschos show up and find them lacking in fervor.

People in these United States have and are constantly being told DON't take action yourself call 911 and let the TRAINED professionals handle it. People are told that the average person is unable to understand how to wire a light socket or fix a faucet washer,paint a room, replace a windowpane, or properly fill out a ballot.
It actually doesn't surprise me they waited for "authorities";and in this case it might have added unneeded issues to a crime investigation.
Can we "safely" assume the murdered family had no firearms to defend their lives ?
Isn't it ironic that the authorities insist on smoke detectors and recommend fire extinguishers but are terribly hostile to families having a real "life preserver" ?

Not sure, these people are Coptic Christians, enemies of the Muslims, many had to flee Egypt for religious freedom and to save their lives.

What does this story have to do with Islam?

Me too.
Coleus, if you remember to, or have a list, I'd love a ping on any further developments.

Maybe nothing, but the manner of the crime, the area, as well as the religion and names... does make even my "religion of peace" alarms go off.

Maybe that is why, or....
maybe that was a cover story.
I'm not a racist, but I do agree with...
stand a Jewish man next to an Arab and I can't tell the difference.
Or, more delicately, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

I choose to pass on the speculation until more is known.
