"I'm always curious to learn just where and how these murderers were thinking things would turn out. Where did they think they'd be?"

that's the problem....they don't think....they react...

its 2005 and our young people live in their own world...

a world made up of rap crap, rock and roll crap, violent video games and movies.....a world where a boy is a man if he can act violent and girl is a woman if she can act like a slut.....

I want to hear again that our present death culture isn't prodding our young people into self destruction......

so two more adults dead....kids without parents now....and two young people who have completely ruined their entire lives....for what?....a moment of chaos

It's very surprising to see that this girl came from a home with concerned and loving parents. She was home-schooled, attended church... And not that these things are assured prevention, but how was it that this girl and 18 year old were able to spend time together?

I just can't buy that this 18 year old didn't think. He had time to think about his reaction...on the drive to her house. Was there nothing in this punk's head from 18 years on this planet to give him some pause in the car? It's just awful.

I'd like to hear more about his household, and how it was that he was able to store bomb-making materials and other paraphernalia in his home.

The holidays have arrived, and the Borden kids are grieving instead of celebrating. Their lives as they knew them are over. They have no parents and their sister turned her back on the family to side with a murderer. To top it off, they'll have to live with relatives and maybe move somewhere else, leaving their friends and their homeschooled lifestyle behind.

Their friends, too, must be reeling with shock and emotional anguish over what has transpired.

David Ludwig devastated so many people with his decision to kill the Bordens. Even though in the news articles he appears to have been straightforward with the detectives about what he did, we haven't heard anything about why he thought it was necessary to kill them.

An evil psychopath has been walking in their midst for some time. It is astonishing how much damage evil can do to so many in so short a period of time. It is even more astounding how evil can masquerade as light -- as evidenced by the high opinions of those closest to Ludwig prior to the murders.

I'm sure a lot of people can think about Ludwig's words and actions in the months prior to the murders and in hindsight, see where this could lead. That's the point -- it's all in hindsight.

This is a story of severe shock, trauma, grief, and betrayal that will take a long time for the Bordens, Ludwigs, and their friends and families to come to terms with. To top it off, they will be reminded of this devastating time at the beginning of every holiday season in the years to come.

I keep the people who have been affected by Ludwig's heinous actions in my prayers, and I feel sorrow for them and anger on their behalf for what Ludwig has done to them. I hope in time they will be able to come to terms with this, somehow, and that it doesn't ruin the rest of their lives.
