Is the world just going crazy or what? I am so UPSET about the Petite family in Cheshire, CT. People break into their home demand (1) of the household goes to the bank an then kills them and sets fire to their house. This poor family did not deserve this, they were working, enjoying their lives and these scumbuckets come in their home and in one morning destroy a family forever, what for, a little money?

My family lives in CT and I admit to me CT has always been a safe place to be with your family. Now, I am worried about my family, these scums have taken away security from people, wake up world no matter where you, there are awful people, who feel they do not have to work for anything and would rather hurt innocent people and take their money. I am angry beyond belief and want these scums killed!! Fire squad if that was possible, and if their families say, oh they were nice Boys/Girls, and just got into trouble shoot show them pictures of this wonderful family who's lives were cut short because of "these nice kids" who only just got into trouble. Get a life..

In Groton, CT a few years ago, a young man broke into the Diary Queen, and tried to rob it, an also hit the owner upside the head with a pipe, the owner fought back an killed this young boy. When this boy was in high school he was a star athelete then everything went wrong. His mother did not understand why the owner was not prosecuted, it was self defense one was going to die that night and obviously the right one did. I know this sounds cold, but the world is going crazy and part of me feels as if we are all living and episode of "Law & Order", (my favorite is CI), an watching these horrible things happen an realize so many people have died for no reason other than "greed".

Where is it safe anymore?

Here is the story from FOX NEWS:

CHESHIRE, Conn. — Three people were killed after thieves broke into their home, held them hostage for several hours and ultimately set the house ablaze before being nabbed by police while trying to flee the scene.

Authorities surrounded the home after a woman was taken by one of the suspects to a bank and somehow alerted an employee that her family was being held hostage, The Hartford Courant reported on its Web site. Connecticut State Police said in a statement issued Monday that officers went to the residence after bank officials notified them of a "suspicious withdrawal."
A man inside the house was able to escape with severe injuries and provide authorities with some information, state police said in the statement. The man is currently hospitalized in serious but stable condition.

Two suspects tried to escape after apparently setting the home on fire, but were quickly arrested at gunpoint when the car they were driving crashed into two police cruisers, according to state authorities.

The Cheshire Fire Department responded to the scene, extinguished the fire and discovered three bodies inside the house, state police said.

Neighbors said the home belonged to the Petit family — William Petit Jr. and his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, and their two daughters.

Petit, 50, is the medical director of the Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate at The Hospital of Central Connecticut, and his wife of 22 years worked at the Cheshire Academy, a boarding school.
Staff at Cheshire Academy were trying to confirm the news Monday afternoon, said spokeswoman Colleen Reilly.

"Everyone here is devastated. So we are still in shock," Reilly said.
"It's just a very difficult day here. We are just finding about it now," said Philip Moore, director of communications for the school.

Hawke-Petit, 48, worked at the boarding and day school as co-director of its health center, taking care of students and faculty there, Moore said.

"She was very good at educating kids about good health, not just taking care of them when they are not feeling well," Moore said.

Police said there was one male survivor, and two of those who died were female. Additional information on the third victim was not available, and it wasn't known whether arson was the cause of death or whether the victims were killed before the fire was set.

The Rev. Ronald A. Rising, a neighbor, said he has known the family for more than 10 years.
"They're just a lovely family," he said. "It's just awful to think it would happen to a family like that in this community. You don't think about those things happening."

The upper-middle class neighborhood includes colonial homes with well-kept lawns.
Cheshire, a suburb with a population of more than 29,000, is just east of Waterbury and about 15 miles north of New Haven.
