    Wouldn't want to get you any more nervous than you already are.

    I'm sure that would be an interesting article, if I had a subscription to the Orlando sentinel I probably could read it too.

    Mind copying and pasting?

    I don't have dogs but my alarm will go off.

    I then go to my family, call the police, and train the gun on the door leading into the room.

    Tbh any person that walks past an alarm sign, breaks in, then stays to fuck around during a piercing alarm has to be an idiot.

    The chance of me having to really shoot is very small and frankly he deserves a shot in the ass...(or maybe he just got off a boat from the UK and thinks I'll be diplo-matical about it).

    DELTONA -- Police questioned two roommates described as "persons of interest" but not suspects today in the deaths of six friends found scattered through a blood-spattered house Friday in what Volusia County's sheriff called "the worst thing that we've ever seen."

    One man held on a probation violation "had some knowledge of some of the victims," said Sheriff Ben Johnson. The other man agreed to accompany investigators. The sheriff said they were "somewhat" cooperative.

    The victims, four men and two women, were discovered about 6:30 a.m. after one of the victims failed to show up for the morning shift at a nearby Burger King where five of the victims worked.

    Five of the six victims have been identified. They are Michelle Ann Nathan, 19, Jonathan Gleason, 18, and Anthony Vega, 34, all of Deltona, Francisco Roman, 30, of Lowell, Mass. and Roberto Gonzalez, 28, of Beacon, N.Y.

    Also today, forensic experts from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement began to examine bloodstains at the house. There was so much to analyze that the task could take up to 18 hours, said sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught.

    In a statement Saturday, Burger King Corp. said it was "deeply saddened by the events that occurred in Deltona" and that the "franchisee is working with local authorities" to help investigators. The restaurant three miles from the crime scene posted a sign that read "Closed. Reopening Monday." One of the entrances was sealed off with yellow police tape.

    A morning downpour thinned the numbers of neighbors, relatives and onlookers that had been gathered in front of the house a day earlier. However, one visitor left a bouquet of white roses with baby's breath on the front lawn. Beside it, another person left a note that read: "There really are monsters among us."

    It was the deadliest mass killing in Central Florida in more than a decade, and police said the killer, or killers, were still on the loose.
    this is a short version, but what it boiled down to was a few guys decided to kill these people wth baseball bats over what amounted to a playstation or an xbox. the case continues on, the killers were obviously caught, I just can't but wonder if they could have saved themselves if they were armed.

    Dude I have been in room full-o-folks that packed guns and couldn't have been in the least bit nervous.

    They all had "instant death" in their coats.

    Rob: was that the article where they beat the kid (and his friends) to death 'cos he'd stolen an x-box and some other stuff?

    No one fucks with their stuff, I guess.

    The stuff wasn't stolen, these men were actually in the house without permission of the owner and left the stuff behind.

    Surely after all these arguments about handguns and such, you wouldn't justify 6 murders with " No one fucks with their stuff, I guess." would you ?

    Damn!!! When I hear about shit like that it shows me that there is something wrong with society, child rearing, whateverthefuck.

    The world is getting worse.

    I notice how folk focus on Columbine yet we've had our gun laws for years before that shooting incident.

    @rob: No I wouldn't, however, according to the article I found, they believed that one of the victims had stolen the item(s), and that was the reason they had for attacking.

    It's mad as hell, but it sounds like they armed themselves to protect/retrieve their property.

    Troy Victorino, 28, has been accused of leading the attack, which police say was prompted by his belief that victim Erin Belanger had stolen an Xbox video game system and other items he had left in her grandmother's nearby vacant house. Victorino had turned the Providence Boulevard home into a neighborhood party spot, investigators and neighbors have said.
