The family thinking there are 4 angels next to Jesus is funny....That's not how Christianity works with murder/suicide....Daddy is in Hell

The wife, may she rest, looks like Harvey Fierstein on estrogen.

What a derpy looking family. The hats, the mullet, the crosses...not much of value was lost.

Upon reading the article, this is pretty sad.

The man had severe depression and had even had electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and was recently accepted into a mental health facility after the wife woke up to him standing over her with a knife.

She posted recently saying that she really hoped he would be able to join them for the high school graduation ceremony of their oldest son.

Unfortunately, he not only joined them...he ended all their lives. Fuck.

[QUOTE]Authorities found a family of four dead at the scene from "fatal knife wounds,"

This is shocking for a family annihilator situation. The father overpowered two strapping young men? Indescribably awful. It must have taken a while.

[quote] Lane and Peggy Kugler, the parents of Bailey, said Jeremy had struggled with his mental health for years and that his wife was trying to get him help.

[quote] "Jeremy had been fighting mental illness for many, many years. His depression had turned into psychosis. It was not Jeremy that committed this horrific act. It was a sick mind," the Kuglers wrote on their joint Facebook page.

[quote] "Bailey, Jeremy and the boy’s faith was very strong. It really helped them through the worst of times. We find strength in our belief that heaven now has four new angels sitting at the right hand of God. They are together and Jeremy’s sickness is gone," the post said.

Religious nuttery

[quote] The Kuglers wrote that the mental health care industry tries to "so hard to help people," but overall, the "country’s mental health care is a disaster."

[quote] "Our daughter and her family were killed by a diseased mind with a knife," they wrote. "Far too many diseased minds have nowhere to go. Yes, there is some help that can be tapped but, not near enough. ...This country is in crisis because there is far, far too little help available to tackle the mental illness crisis."

[quote] Bailey Koch’s father, Lane Kugler, said he found the bodies of all four victims in the home, according to a letter he wrote on behalf of the family and posted to Facebook.

[quote] “What I saw will haunt me the rest of my life,” he wrote. “This country’s mental health care is a disaster. A catastrophe. Broken. And it’s not getting any better, it’s getting worse.”

Keep voting Republican, Nebraska!

There was a murder-suicide in Philly that the media didn’t touch. The father shot the mother and then himself in the house the day before their son’s high school graduation. The parents were separated. The mother ran out the back of the house into the alley and the father shot her in front of the kids. He went upstairs to the bedroom and blew his brains out.

The house went up for sale some months later, 3 times the original price. lol

The mom is an idiot for allowing him to come back @R5

He should have been 5150 and she should have changed the fucking locks.

I’m sorry for people struggling with severe mental illness- I’ve battled terrible depression for years but there needs to be some steps to avoid family annihilation.

Hope they’re all at peace RIP.

Yes R13. People don’t get that a loved one seriously mental ill must be in the hospital . They don’t want to go? They promise they’re ok? All the more reason to hospitalize involuntarily .

Call police. Say that he slugged you. Lie. I don’t give a fuck.

And this wife is A FUCKING IDIOT FOR POSTING ALL THIS SHIT. I’m sure husband loved it,

He had to be under the influence of something, right? Nothing to accelrate paychosis like meth. It's hard to stab someone to death, let alone three people, two of whom were healthy young men who were akready bigger than their father.

Yikes. These are the same people who will ALWAYS vote against the exit pod and other humane methods of finding peace. They believe in being prayer "warriors" instead, and that life can NEVER be fair, so men should be strong and JUST DEAL WITH IT. But now we see what happens when all the hardship that Christians love to see others struggle through is turned back on them. They have to be warriors for their faith I guess, and warriors wage war on the enemy. They don't understand that they litterally create this toxic masculinity and then pass it down as generational curses, thinking it's strength because they own a little property or have the financial power to exploit poorer people.

This is small town Nebraska. It is a different world out there than seeking mental health crisis resources in NYC or LA.

It also sounds like maybe he drugged them first.

Sad story all around. The mom was in denial, the proverbial frog in the pot of boiling water. She might have had some psych stuff going on too.

The oldest son had very thin hair. Their lives were a nightmare long before he killed them. That bitch should have kicked his ass to the curb 10 years ago and given her kids a chance at a normal life . What an awful thing .

JFC. What a fucking COWARD.

Poor mental health didn’t drive him to kill his entire family. His fucked up egotism did.

A perfect example why you don’t marry & reproduce with someone like this dude.

People like him are CONSTANTLY victimized by the ever so slight of grievance, & personalize all actions of daily living as slights against themselves. I currently work with a young man who does this, & I do worry about his descent into “Everyone & everything are out to get me” outlook.

Today, this young man/coworker, showed me legal paperwork that stated/ claimed that he sexually abused a child. The paperwork from DCFS also stated that their investigation was inconclusive.

I don’t know why he shared this with me. Perhaps he needed to unburden himself, however, I believe he is carrying tons of shame/guilt about, because there was simply no justification for him showing me this out of the blue.

Does he suffer from poor mental health?

ABSOLUTELY.

Guess what? Many of us do or have on the past. The difference between the young man O speak of, & others, is that some people cannot live with the shame of their shitty behavior, & drag those who call them out, into their pit of hell, while others admit they fucked up, & attempt to make amends, and follow through with the work required to change.

So yeah… poor mental health sets the stage, but the inability to fix one’s own wrongs or childhood/adulthood trauma due to wanting to appear perfect, which is driven by shame & hubris, provides the finale to cowardice, when a parent, can do the UNTHINKABLE.

FUCK THIS GUY.
