PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Byrd and Melanie Billings had a growing brood of adopted children with autism, Down syndrome and other disabilities, and took care to make their nine-bedroom house a safe place for them, wiring it with surveillance cameras in every room.
It was those cameras that captured images of the masked men who shot the wealthy couple to death in a break-in executed with chilling precision.

These victims possibly helped these meth-head lowlifes out in someway but the lowlifes were so awestruck by the central airconditioning and wall to wall carpeting that they tried to outdo each other with tales of the fabulous money and treasure piled up for the taking inside that home.
So it was one of those “hopey changey” class warfare things the DemocRATS are always pimping? If not, I want to know WHY? This was so senseless.
This is a very tragic siutation.
“Some of the nine children in the house at the time were sleeping, but several others saw the break-in, authorities said. One left the house and went to get a neighbor, who called 911.”
What the heck is going on in this country when good people like this are murdered in their own home minding their own business? A wealthy couple in SoCal were both stabbed to death, by an intruder who entered from the beach, in front of their two children -- the mother was pregnant... and a couple of weeks later another woman in a nearby beach community was murdered in the same manner while her parents slept in a room nearby... in this case I don't think they have caught whoever did this.. in that case (according to Nancy Grace Show) the guy was wearing a motocycle helmet... there was a time when you were safe at home, no more.
I pray that I have enough time between the loud noise/crash/breaking window and grabbing my 12ga....
FILL EM WITH LEAD!
What? Don’t you appreciate how much better the children of this nation have become, since the legality of abortion, the sexual revolution, schools started to concentrate on children’s selfesteem instead of their accomplishments; morals and ethics have been removed from society as virtues; prayer and Bibles banned from schools; and historical documents censored to exclude all referrences to the religious ideals of our forefathers?
Unemployment going up, half of the population on drugs, no religious and moral pinning, you will get barbaric home break ins like South America. Wait till you have day time kidnapping added to the mix against upper middle class families. Liberal and libertarian values suddenly unemployed and cannot support their recreational drug habits (addiction, withdraw still happens if drugs are legalized or not). It is going to get ugly before it gets better. My recommendation is upper middle class people living in rural suburbs or quiet bungalows, form nightwatches that keep tabs on who drives into the neighborhood and determine if they have business there or not. Home invasions typically occur very early in the morning or late at night. If someone intends to break into an occupied home, murder and torture are on the agenda. Life in America is going back to the days of the frontier. Brush up on frontier common sense if one wants to survive the future. Best places to live in is small towns where the homes are close together. That way a neighbor can hear each other scream if something happens. Huge MacMansions on one acre lots, good luck if something happens to you. No one is going to hear anything and they will find out after they find your massacred family in basement.
Damn, this is just a hard story to read. I’m so disgusted..again.
Death penalty for all involved in any way, shape, or form for those murders.
Last I saw, the authorities think that there were 8 involved all told.
Fry them all.
With all the police departments cutting back it will be everyone for themselves.
What a sad story. Glad to hear Melanie’s daughter plans to continue on in their place.
The murder rate this decade is so low that you have to go back to the mid 1960s to see it this low.
i have 4 dogs just for that reason
I agree. Does anyone know why the feds are involved?
