sung to the tune of "Ring of Fire." Did these murderous idiots forget that they were in Florida? The DA is seeking first degree murder charges and the death penalty for all involved.

7 arrested in slayings of Fla. couple
Prosecutor cites robbery as primary motive; safe among items taken

PENSACOLA, Fla. - An ex-convict who taught self-defense to children. A day laborer who served prison time for killing a man in a fight. An Air Force staff sergeant attached to an elite special operations unit.

Somehow, authorities say, they ended up part of a loosely connected group of seven men charged in the shooting deaths of Byrd and Melanie Billings, a wealthy Florida Panhandle couple known for adopting children with special needs.

The suspects, some dressed as ninjas, stole a safe and other items during the break-in Thursday at the sprawling Billings home west of Pensacola. Nine of the couple's 13 adopted children were home at the time. Three saw the intruders but were not hurt. Authorities would not say what was in the safe or what else was taken.

Some of the masked men entered through the front door, while others slipped in through an unlocked utility door in the back. They were in and out in under 10 minutes. The crime was captured by an extensive video surveillance system the Billings used to keep tabs on their many children.

"It was a very well-planned and well-executed operation," said Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan.

The last three of the seven suspects were arrested Tuesday, though Morgan said there still might be more arrests. State Attorney Bill Eddins said robbery was the main motive for the crime.

for a couple grand worth of shit, they make orphans of all these kids again? i don't believe in the death penalty - i think these dudes should get beat up daily in prison though.

- not too well executed obviously

Actually, it sounds like there were one or two pretty significant details they forgot.

Also: ninjas?

I don't usually support the death penalty, but some people deserve to pay the ultimate penalty when there is little doubt of their guilt in a crime this heinous.

[soupsandwich]

why kill them if all you wanted was the money? Makes no sense. Fire up ol' sparky

[getoutoftheleftlane]

disgusting human beings. i'd feel more remorse about stepping on an ant on my driveway than cooking these seven fvckwads in the chair.

is the death penalty really bad thing? seriously.

the death penalty cost more than life in prison to the florida tax payers.
