Local Murder-suicide gone wrong, then fixed!

Post by Beiruty »

So tragic and senseless! A sad story that should never happens.
A man accused of killing his wife at their McKinney home last month died Sunday after jumping from a highway overpass in Allen, police said.

Eric Merz, 42, had been charged with murder but was out on bond after completing a 30-day program at a substance abuse treatment facility.

There are so many I wish would jump first, or shoot themselves first.

Count me as one who is puzzled by his release.

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

Substance abuse, again.

That is bad business. It is amazing how those who avoid "substances," postpone reproductive activity until they are educated, then marry, seldom seem to get caught up in those ordeals of crime, misery and irresponsibility.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
