this a sad and weird story. Two Bangladeshi brother brothers, suffering from depression, buy guns and murder their grandmother, father, mother, sister and then kill themselves.

NY Post Article

quote:

Farhan and Tanvir Towhid, who slaughtered family, left behind bizarre suicide note with ‘The Office’ rant

The two Texas brothers accused of slaughtering four family members before killing themselves said they easily got weapons because gun control is “a joke” — and were sent off the rails partly from watching TV’s “The Office.”

In a rambling 12-page note initially linked to his Instagram page, Farhan Towhid, 19, said that he and his 21-year-old brother, Tanvir Towhid, were united in manic depression and all-day TV watching sessions.

“The first and most important show we watched was ‘The Office’,” Farhan wrote in the note that started, “Hey everyone, I killed myself and my family.”

The Steve Carrell comedy was one of “four very important issues I encountered throughout my life,” Farhan claimed in the online note police confirmed to CBS DFW is linked to the gruesome bloodbath.

He then ranted at length about how the show “should’ve ended when [Carell’s character] Michael left” because ‘eventually it went s–t” — complaining about plot- and character-developments that enraged him.

Well obviously it’s the easy access to guns that is the culprit here. Not the two weirdo, mental case, maladjusted fricktards who committed the crime.

So glad he highlighted how easy it was to get guns because of the gun laws are so relaxed. The media will pump this narrative until biden is able to take away nerf and water guns.
