  1. You’ve got to be an absolute monster, a devil and a demon to take the life of anybody so senselessly…. let alone an innocent 8 month old child!

    1. @⬅️Bob And Friends😺 I hate saying this with every fiber of my being back the day that’s would be appalling and still is but in todays world it’s just Thursday.

    2. No words. Shaking my head. the stories keep topping stories these days. Be safe everyone. Trust no one. Sad but true.

  2. condolences to all the family and friends of the family heartbreaking , why was this guy let out ! a baby omg he is pure evil to harm a baby , justice for this family 😥😢

    1. @⬅️Bob And Friends😺 Stop with the holier than thou attitude. Abortion is not the same as murder. When you force a women to bear a child that is not wanted you ruin 2 lives.

    2. @Claire Mercer

      If a fetus isn’t alive why must you Terminate her?(or him) 🙁
      If you stop someone from living that’s murder.
      And 1 + 1 = 2
      If a Mother doesn’t want to raise her child there are So Many options.
      Doing away with your own child shouldn’t be on of them.

      Be Well ♥️ Be Better ♥️ Aim Higher ❤️

      As my wonderfully old and beautiful Grandmother says,

      “You should feel sorry for those who feel the need to resort to insults or name calling as they mustn’t be very well educated.”

      Be Well ♥️ Be Better ♥️ Aim Higher ♥️

      Words I happily remind myself of every day♥️

      Take Care…

      Like I texts IT’S NOT ONLY IN CALIFORNIA IT’S EVERYWHERE. LOOKS WHAT HAPPEN IN TEXAS, OR YOU FORGOT BOUT THAT. 19 CHILDREN KILLED N 2 TEACHERS.
      MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. ARE YOU FOR REAL

    1. @Mark in my opinion W i plan to vote for SANE candidates who follow the law & constitution … the oath they swear to. certainly not fascist idiots. the guy that did this should have been in prison for life & never paroled, nor had a weapon in the first place.

    2. @Michelle yes that part. 👏🏾 the ease of access to firearms for a convicted felon is absolutely ridiculous.

    1. @Perry Walton I was trying to knock some sense into democratic party to help them see their policies are creating crimes

  3. I’m from CA and Merced is such a small community for CA that this is a rare and terrible event. I am not surprised that they want the guy’s head… My condolences and prayers for the loved ones of the lost family and community.

    1. When he gets to prison just know they’re going to do him just like he did to the family and that precious baby and I’m going to tell you once he gets his Just Desserts and he crosses over his punishment awaits and it won’t be a pretty picture for him because he’s going to suffer for all eternity and Hell that’s where he belongs

    1. I can’t wait for the full details from law enforcement and reporters of why this crime happened to this family.

  4. This is so Disturbing why most some people be so Evil. Sending my Condolences to there family and may they Rest in heaven 🙏🏾 😢

  5. This poor family clearly was peaceful and complied with their soon to be assassin and walked right into their Doomed end by going quietly to their death : The second location.
    Please Fight Back. Don’t let them take you to a second location. Make a scene. Do anything and everything you can in order to bring attention and awareness. No way this should have ended like this.

    1. That’s why I carry a firearm with me no matter where I go and I’m going to teach my daughter out to use a BB gun first and then a firearm so she can protect herself when she gets older no matter where she goes but you’re absolutely right never ever let anyone take you to a second location but you do fight back no matter what the cost

  6. My heart goes out to everyone who knew them and to their families
    It’s so when children are involved
    I know what it is to loose a son

  7. I remember decades ago in high school I took a self-defense one day course. And they said be willing to die before you are tied up. Reason being is that your odds are better at getting shot and surviving then you are at getting tied up and then you’re a totally helpless victim. Furthermore an assailant typically doesn’t want to take an injured person along with them as you slow them down and leave blood traces. I’ve never forgotten that.

    And if you are ever put into the trunk of a vehicle many trunks nowadays have security glow-in-the-dark latches you pull on them and it will open up the trunk from the inside every single person should know how their vehicle operates with that.

    I hope this dude rots in hell.

    1. @Kelly Fowler I know, this story is so upsetting, I am trying not to think about their pain, may they rest in beautiful peace

    2. Such a senseless tragedy.

      Also!!! If child locks are engaged and you’re in the back the seat head rests come out and will break the window!

  8. This is why you fight like hell and NEVER let them take you to second location. It’s scary, when someone has a gun, but fight where you are at least it’s a better chance to get away. This is so sad!!!!

    1. I thought you were supposed to comply during a stickup. Where to draw the line and fight is hard for me to understand seeing as how they won’t tell you why they are tying you up

  9. Fight for your life people! If someone is trying to abduct you, better believe that they most likely plan to kill you. Among the terrifying and terrible things that they have planned to do to you. I’d rather fight and die protecting myself and family. Or, you win the fight and live another day. So sad this is. 😢

    1. Yezzir. But not everyone has that option. Sometimes you have to hit and kick and bite your way free. 🤝👊

  10. Never let a criminal tie you up and take you to a secondary location. It’s better to die fighting than to be tortured and killed. Rest in peace to this beautiful family.

    1. never get tethered he may kill you first but don’t get tethered and as you have nothing nothing to lose . his is where you have to fight, defend yourself for your life

    2. @Jammzy this same advice was literally in the training manual for my pizza delivery job back in 1996. Someone trying to take you to a second location alive is just looking to save themselves having to carry you, or they want privacy to do horrible things to you. You’re better off that the crime scene is right there on the spot.

  11. Please, NEVER EVER EVER allow yourself to be tied up and taken somewhere by an attacker. You must fight back. Do whatever it takes even if your chance of surviving is slim, as once you are loaded up into the attacker’s vehicle, you are essentially dead, if not worse. Very sad to see this outcome. Watch the channel Active Self Protection for some life-saving tips.

    1. @Beverly Smith I’m very sorry to hear about what happened to you and your daughter. I’m glad you’re alive to learn from your horrible experience. I hope you value and practice your 2nd amendment rights.

  12. I saw comments on another video regarding this case speaking to how the mother must have known him because she was “too calm” and had some familiarity to the man when he walked them out the door and I simply think that’s ridiculous. When you’re a mother, holding a baby, you will do absolutely anything to remain calm and not strike fear into your child. This is so tragic. I’m so sad for this entire family and relatives.
