NY Killer Tripped on Baggy Pants, Plunged to Death (http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpps/news/dpgonc-NY-Killer-Tripped-Pants-Plunged-Death-fc-20091218_5152028?obref=obinsite - broken link)
Don't feel too sorry for the family he killed. It's not until the end of the story that they reveal heroin and cocaine were found in the home and that one member of the family had served in prison with the killer.
Karma is a sex'ed up female dog (insert expletives)...but I personally feel that it's weird to NOT feel sorry for the slaughtered family. Somehow "street" drugs are "bad" whereas suburban prescription drugs (which are derivatives of street drugs) are deemed "less bad".
Not denying the fact that "drugs ruin lives", but more of this is due to lack of resources within the communities that these drugs are ruining. Drugs are used to placate emotions. We know that there are less healthy outlets in said communities.
The point is that instead of condemning the slaughtered (we can infer that they did other things, but it's not stated in the article) we should condemn the slayer who slain himself.
Meanwhile, makes you wonder what's going on in the "trendy" upper west side area of NYC. Seems this extended family was doing a thriving drug business out of an apartment most of us can't afford, dealing drugs to people who would seem to be in the upper middle class. Hmmmm

Was the entire familiy involved in the drug trade or just the father who served jail time with the killer? I mean was the 87-year-old grandfather murdered involved in the drug dealing(and the wife and daughter too)?
But, I have to say that while I don't like to make light of anyone's death, the description of the killer tripping over his pants on the fire escape and falling 3-stories had me cracking up...This guy never would've made it as a hitman back in the heyday of Murder Inc. in the 1930s.

your sympathy is misplaced. i have sympathy, but only for victims, not victimizers. these people were living in their upper class neighborhood by engaging in criminal behavior.
we don't have to condemn the slayer because karma is a b****!
