OK, I'm going against the grain here, seems it's what I do on here so here goes.

I am not siding with anyone. I feel terribly for the children and the surviving family. I do not know who is guilty of the crime of the missing wife. What I do know is in this country people are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Josh Powell was not proven guilty YET. I do know the media is very powerful in filling our heads with a bunch of 'news'. The surviving family has been very influential in the way the media is pushing, pushing pushing this Josh Powell. Maybe he is guilty of killing his wife but the media needs to stop exploiting people. If they just let the investigators do their job without all the media attention maybe it wouldn't have pushed this Josh over the edge. Maybe something else happened to his wife and this was the only way he could see out of the misery the media created for him. Maybe he was driven to depression. Who knows. I do know that we can not judge anyone unless we have lived their life and in the end God is the only judge. The whole world judged this man. Yes, the evidence points in his direction and the investigation seemed to be making progress but maybe the lives of these children could have been spared if we all could just leave well enough alone and let the law do their job. I strongly believe this man was prematurely pushed with his back against a wall and saw no other way out but what he did. Ever hear of Post Partum Depression where women have killed their babies? It's a dark world to find yourself in. I think what we pushed this man into was very similar to that.

I believe the American people and the media needs to take some responsibility in this. Evil man, guilty man or not. JMHO

I have no idea whether or not the man killed his wife. I'm sorry he felt he had no option except to kill himself, but killing his children was wrong. No ifs ands or buts about it. It's pretty narcissistic to think his children couldn't live without him.

No problem, I get it. People who have never experienced depression have no idea. I run into the same problem with people who have never raised a child with a disability. They judge but HAVE NO IDEA. Again, you cannot judge someone unless you have live their life. It APPEARS he knew everything he was doing but who are we to judge? We don't know the rationalization that was going on in his head. He probably would have been convicted and the kids still alive if we left them all alone.

I've suffered from depression my entire life. I've done everything including electro-convulsive therapy (that's when they run electricity through your head a dozen times or more). I do understand him killing himself. Taking his children with him was wrong.

Gotta hurt - sorry about that! And gotta love 'DANG IT JIM'!!!

Super hate yellow jackets...

Yeah the worst part of honey stings is that I know my girls die when they sting me. I would still rather take 10 of my honey's than one yellow jacket.
