The bodies were found Friday inside the Grand Haven residence, police said, and the children were 5 to 15 years old.
A man fatally shot his wife and their six children before he set the Michigan home they shared ablaze and turned the gun on himself, authorities said Monday.
Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, killed his wife, Amanda, 39, and their children, ages 5 to 15, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Capt. Jake Sparks said at a news conference.
They were found dead after first responders arrived at the home in Grand Haven, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, late Friday morning, Sparks said. Autopsies showed all had been shot, he said.
While Lemmy loves their memes and jokes about the government and the economy, this is what real world stress results in. I’m sure they will find a rich online life for this guy and recent financial trouble.
For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die in a country with no social net. That’s what a shit hole is.
Ironically I just went through a deep dive about this guy reading multiple news sources and they all say he recently lost his job as a vp for the sales department of the American heart association.
So yeah. Dude was stressing and I get it but, fuck. So much unnecessary death just because people willingly vote against their own self interests.
He lost his job, his family lost their healthcare, his kids lost their ability to attend college, at his age, he was on track to a minimum wage job.

In many if not most cases of family annihilation, it’s a loss or perceived loss of social or financial status. Dad or Mom or whoever can’t stand the idea of their kids growing up poor (or even just slightly less rich) and decide to not only take themselves, but everyone with them “to spare them the pain”.
i love the big short too but i’m not sure that number is accurate https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/39267/do-40-000-people-die-in-the-united-states-for-every-1-increase-in-unemployment
People who live in shitholes love to deny they live in a shithole. Bump in suicide rates after 2008…and climbing. Males and females. But that’s just suicide.

In shitholes, when you lose your job, you lose your healthcare, so more people die because they can’t afford treatment or diagnosis. Then of course, in shitholes, the solution is typically opioids until they are dead.
So people can be pedantic but do all the math and 40,000 for 1% is conservative.
did you just call me american??
Ur moms american
Yup.
If things keep going the way they are we’re going to start seeing a lot more desperate people losing their shit in this country and a lot more headlines like this.
