And does the Bible speak of not killing? yes, but so does EVERY OTHER religion, so what's your point?
Maxwell's wife and children did something to deserve being murdered by the
head of their household. At no time did I make that implication. Just like
the devout Muslims who killed thousands on Sept. 11 and the countless others
in the Middle East, it still doesn't make it right.

Karen who will expect the vast majority of us to ignore the fact that he
killed his entire family. If he was so despondent over some issue in his
life, he should have just taken his, not his family.
comment.
that pretty much sums up what type of person he really was. There is no
excuse for what he did and there is not "whole story" that could possibly
justify such a heinous crime. What I choose to write on my blog is my
business. The First Amendment affords me the right to write and say what I
please. Again, there is NO justification for what Billy Maxwell did to his
wife and kids.

of person does this make you? Hey, I didn't pull the trigger and wipe out my
husband and kids.
Isn't freedom of speech a great right to have! Waaaa! Waaaa!

don't have a headache spinning this yarn.
commenting on my blog because they are trying to justify his despicable
behavior. There is simply no explanation that could satisfy anyone in their
right minds as to why this man killed his entire family.
comments that there was discord occurring in his home up until he committed
these unspeakable acts of crime. I'm slandering his name? Wow. It seems that
he laid the groundwork to be criticized for killing his family. Again, he's
a coward for taking the easy way out. His family did not deserve the fate
they met. Don't preach to me. You should have preached to your so-called
"Christian" friend.

since I seriously doubt you have been appointed the "spokesperson" for this

Oh, I hope you're making great money off the page views you're getting for the ads.
doesn't love this man. He loves us all, but He also never said sin would go
unpunished. Lastly, if this happened to your relatives, I seriously doubt
you would enter the spin zone with your yarn about psychosis. It still
doesn't make it right. Are you the coroner and a part of the medical team in
this case?
I would walk away from my children before putting a gun to their heads. I
could NEVER hurt my children, much less murder them.
Lastly, Mr. Maxwell cannot make up for the mess he has caused and the
anguish he left his family and his in-laws in.

"Lastly, if this happened to your relatives, I seriously doubt

"Lastly, Mr. Maxwell cannot make up for the mess he has caused and the
anguish he left his family and his in-laws in."
Well gee, I'd be hurt. But, Guess what? The family STILL loves him.
And It's not a yarn it's serious. I would say he went insane. Did you know the family had come over that day to try and help him past his issues? So pleases, If you love God, stop this foolishness. To God all sins are equal. LAst I checked, Judging and Gossip are two sins, and Homicide and Suicide are two sins. Your sins are as bad as his to God.
children. I don't care how you try to spin this. You have your views and I
have mine. From what I have read, the medical examiner and all the medical
professionals, as well as the investigators haven't disclosed any of Mr.
Maxwell's medical problems, so I take it like a grain of salt coming from
you. Unless you are an "official and verifiable" spokesperson for the
family, your positions about his condition is falling on deaf ears where I
am concerned.
Also, your Biblical truths are going no where with me. I am a Christian, but
I also know that committing suicide and murder is a sin. The Bible never
said that God wouldn't forgive, but it is also very clear about punishment
for the sin.
This is the last comment I will make to you about this. It is ridiculous to
go back and forth, especially when I don't intend to change my position one
iota.

blog. There's a thing called freedom of speech afforded to you and I under
the Constitution of America. Now, Mr. Maxwell had NO right to take the lives
of his wife and children. There was no justification for what he did and you
can spin this all you want, it was still WRONG.
If Billy Maxwell was such a strong Christian, he would have heeded the
assistance of his close friend and turned to God for help to fight whatever
ailed him. Taking the life of his wife and children is not the solution to
ANY problem.

"this man had no right to kill his entire family. There is NO justification for what he did. It is horrible that as a Christian, this is the way he chose to end his family's life."
Please keep your insensitive thoughts about this family to yourself. Pray for this family but do not verbally bash something you know nothing about. And please do not compare Mr. Maxwell to a terrorist. Those who knew him, know that he was anything but. I suggest you take a look in the mirror and go for some deep soul searching for the comments you have said about this man and his family. No one is saying that what he did was right. We are saying that he was an ill man and does not deserve public bashing. God is the ultimate judge...not you. So if this is your way to get 'noticed', try something else...because all you've done is make people angry and NOT want to read your posts.
not justification or rationalization for this unspeakable act.
you knew anything about the issues I cover, you would realize that I am
equally critical of African Americans who commit similar crimes. In case you
haven't heard, there was a black man in Florida who killed his entire family
and I covered that. Also, there's Mr. Sowell who murdered 11 black women in
his home in Cleveland and that too is on my blog. Where's your sympathy for
these people? I am afraid that it is you who is stuck in the 1950s. You made
the first comment about race ever being an issue in this tragedy. Waaa,
waaa!
the Hinterland Gazette by the way. This thread has nothing to do with the
name. I am referring to Mr. Maxwell.
have repeatedly expressed my sympathy for his wife and children because they
did not deserve the hand they were dealt. Maybe he did have a mental
illness, but that still doesn't make it right. If that's the case, then Mr.
Sowell, who murdered 11 women and buried them on his property and kept some
in his home, could also make the case that he has a mental illness and be
given a slap on the wrist and let loose in society to reoffend. There is no
justification for this.

dialect -- "see me and come live wid me a two different things." Basically
it says see me in the street and living with me are vastly different. Same
truth holds here.
You ask what could have driven the man to take the lives of his wife and children. I presume that question will eventually be answered when the authorities conclude their investigation. Everyone has his/her own religious views concerning murder and suicide, and it isn't my intention to pass judgment on them. I will say, though, that it is premature to speculate on the findings of an investigation that hasn't been completed.
As for freedom of speech, that isn't an unlimited freedom. There are restrictions on it, particularly in the realm of communications law.
opinion. The last time I checked this was a democracy. Please don't tell me
about communications law because I have a Journalism degree. Don't insult my
intelligence. What I will say is that I have the right to my opinion. Again,
what Billy Maxwell did was unthinkable and reprehensible. The police have
concluded that it was a murder-suicide. Did I make that up? No. Have you
stopped to read the local newspapers' articles about this tragedy?
I am getting really tired of you and your comments. I wonder, do you leave
these comments on Politico, Crooks & Liars, The Huffington Post, Fayette
Observer, Fox News and CNN websites? I am not going to argue with you about
my right to my opinion. You have yours and I have never presumed to tell you
what and how to think. Don't bring it here.
Janet Shan
You seem to have some degree of inteligence considering the degrees you have, so why is it so hard to see that everyone is not saying that what Mr. Maxwell did was right that he had a right to do it? Why is it so hard to understand that they are not trying to justify an evil act? Their love for this man and his family is very strong and all they are saying is that yes he did something wrong but that he had a mental problem which doesn't justify what he did but it does explain it somewhat. Someone said earlier hate the sin not the sinner this statement is so true his act was evil but he is not. As a christians together in christ we should want to confort and help eachother but with the love this entire community still holds for both Mr. Maxwell and his family, why can't you see that your comments only add salt to the wound. I am praying for the Maxwell family and the Snyder community, I will now pray for you so that maybe you will find it in your heart and understand what everyone is trying to say. This is a tragedy that should have never happened but we can't change that, all we can do is come together, comfort each other and try and strengthen the bonds we still have.
Don't pray for me. Worry about yourself.
