basketball Player Kills Kids

On Sunday, Orlando's Bryan Randall drowned his 2-year-old daughter, Yana, in a lake and tried to drown his 4-year-old son, Regal, but the the boy was rescued and hospitalized. The next day, Randall swerved his car that carried his 8-year-old son, Brian, and his 6-year-old son, Julian, into the path of a tractor trailer, killing himself and his 8-year-old and injuring the 6-year-old. Police suspect that Randall didn't want to lose custody of his children to his wife, in their divorice, and decided to make sure she couldn't have them. Randall's wife, Lisa, obtained a restraining order against him last month and was suppose to get the children back from her husband on Sunday, but didn't. Randall left his wife a suicide note saying: "I had to take them with me." Lisa last told the press,"Just continue with the prayers for my other children", after learning of her two children's murders. Randall, apparently, was a former basketball star at Dartmouth College. "It's a disturbing, shocking, sad time," said Dave Faucher, Randall's former coach, "He was a dedicated player and a wonderful person ... We don't have any answers." People like this need to be shot

In this case, if he hadn't killed himself, I think life in prison without parole would have been a far worse punishment. People like that should not be free.

My one big question is what was he doing able to drive his kids the next day? From the description provided you figure someone would have restrained him so he was not allowed near his kids, especially after what happened to his daughter. I think someone botched that one big time and another life could easily have been saved. I pray for the kids and the wife since they'll have to live down what happened.

Such spite. Killing your own children just so the mother can't have them. Amazing that a parent could do something like this to their own children. Terrible. :sowrong:
