The two Texas brothers accused of slaughtering four family members before killing themselves said they easily got weapons because gun control is “a joke” — and were sent off the rails partly from watching TV’s “The Office.”
In a rambling 12-page note initially linked to his Instagram page, Farhan Towhid, 19, said that he and his 21-year-old brother, Tanvir Towhid, were united in manic depression and all-day TV watching sessions.
“The first and most important show we watched was ‘The Office’,” Farhan wrote in the note that started, “Hey everyone, I killed myself and my family.”
The Steve Carrell comedy was one of “four very important issues I encountered throughout my life,” Farhan claimed in the online note police confirmed to CBS DFW is linked to the gruesome bloodbath.

“People say the finale makes up for it, which is a complete lie. Sure it was cute, but it doesn’t justify the last few s—y seasons we had to deal with,” he wrote, saying he had “a lot more I want to say but hey, life is short.”
“We kept watching until February 21, 2021. That’s the day my older brother came into my room with a proposition: if we can’t fix everything in a year, we’ll kill ourselves and our family,” he wrote of the show.
They soon changed that to just a month, with Farhan saying, “We eventually realized we were just biding our time. Waiting a year was way too long. Why not wait a month?” he said.
“The plan was simple. We get two guns. I take one and shoot my sister and grandma, while my brother kills our parents with the other. Then we take ourselves out,” he wrote.

There is a unspoken reality that exists in minority communities. Many young people in these communities have self loathing ,depression and alienation. It has nothing to do with racism.
So everyone is concerned with references to The Office. I’d rather talk about the correctness of “gun control is a joke” than that.
I identify with that Dwight Schute character. That’s kind of how I am in real life.
I miss the days when names like Farhan and Tanvir meant the story was NOT from the United States.
That kid had a Plano address.
“ Steve Carrell seems like a good man.”
He donated to the bail fund for BLM/ANTIFA
So they probably agree with you.
Earlier I saw something about gun control being a joke in the U.S. Compared to Bangladesh?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of “When God Judges A Nation”
Farhan Towhid and Tanvir Towhid;
WAY too many fkn foreigners in the US !
Yes. The focus - How easily they were able to get the guns.
Something is off about this MSM story. .
🤔
So no background check?
Didn’t his grandparents live in Allen? There was a raid on a house here involving the guy. I know that part for a fact. I saw all the police.
They killed themselves and their own relatives.
They are the ones to blame. What a horrible event.
Then, in order to gain some weird fame, they mention gun control...
A great many find life to painful to endure.
I almost said, “I’ve never encountered a Dwight.” Then I thought about it, lol.
There are Dwights and Jims and Pams and Kevins and Angelas and other “The Office” characters that are probably characteristic of what you might encounter in an office. Michael? There is no way a sane person could work for that character. He is exaggerated too much to be plausible as a boss.
At least I hope so.
really?! actually Charlie Sheen being replaced by Ashton Kutcher in 2 1/2 men was worse than the Office.
I did not realize it was only 2 seasons without Carrell, it seemed longer
Unfortunately, at least for a very long time, Cornell will also be associated with Andy (I’m an alumnus).
It’s probably not you.
It’s that evil is more prevalent.

I have to wonder how many cousins married cousins in that family. Sad
AMEN!
