"Honorable"?

Filed under: Sad Sad

A soulless man, Karthik Rajaram, in an upscale Los Angeles suburb killed his family - wife, three children and mother-in-law - then took his life because he thought that was the honorable thing to do after he became despondent over his crumbling financial situation.

So horrible!

    that's horrible.



  2. 2

    What a douche. I'm sure the rest of the family wanted to die at the hands of a lunatic.

    How awful….can't even make light of this one..



  4. 4

    Well lookie here, just what I mentioned in the last entry! :"(



  5. 5

    the honorable thing to do would be get a HUGE life insurance policy and then arrange to half himself killed and then having his family collect a huge payout. Maybe I watch too much CSI

    first!



  7. 7

    What can you say to this?

    He's a selfish bastard? Maybe in his culture death is better than asking for help. Go figure IGNORAMUS!!!

    Honorable my ass. More like HONARABLE DISCHARGE!!!!



  8. 8

    That's the desperation that so many people are facing, by yet asshole McCain wants to talk about Obama's friends and what they were doing in the 60's when Obama was 8!!!

    Re: natalie – You do not collect life insurance if it's a suicide.



  10. 10

    what the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    Re: OBAMA 08 – She said "arrange to have (of half) himself killed"…



  12. 12

    at lest we don't have to waste money on a trial

    and why is that here?



  14. 14

    that's awful. i'll be thinking about this one all day…



  15. 15

    What a fucking dumb fucking douchebag. All he had to do was rob a fucking bank, go to prison and the state would take care of them. That selfish fucking prickfucker. I hope he burns deep in the pits of hell for killing those kids. Why didn't he just pay someone to kill him and let them have insurance money? I should go into hell and beat the fuck out of this prick.

    Re: State ziti – YOUR THE SHIT HEAD YOU IGNORANT FUCK! WHERE IS YOUR WHITE ROBE AND HOOD? DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET A CLUE, RACIST BIGOT!!!



  17. 17

    Tragic. Why didn't he just kill himself and be done with it?? There are no words to say how terrible this is.

    this is very sad–there is help for depression. It should be available to everyone and there should be no shame in getting help.

    To those of you who are making fun of this tragedy please seek some help. You do not need to be the way you are.

    Peace to all



  19. 19

    The same thing happened in a wealthy section of Philadelphia about 15 or 20 years ago. The husband/father lost his money in a bad investment, and he killed his wife and children, and then himself. Pretty frickin' twisted.



  20. 20

    idiot!! shoulda kill yourself not entirly family. What honorable things about it by killing your kids. Can't believe some ppl are this idiot.



  21. 21

    :(



  22. 22

    If you want to kill yourself because your life sucks that is fine, its your decision but to take it out on your wife and children is just fucking digusting.



  23. 23

    and having guns readily available in the states is a good idea?



  24. 24

    That's not soulless, that's an actual psychological disorder. The man of a family finally snaps under the stress of having to provide for them. He feels he is solely responsible for their survival, that they can't survive without him and if he's failed as their provider then there's nothing left for any of them. They do NOT do it out of viciousness, they do it, rather, out of an unbalanced concept of responsibility and love. It's happened quite a few times; see John List, etc.



  25. 25

    And this is the culture whose religion preaches that they should run the world. NICE. It's honorable to murder your wife, children and mother-in-law? Yeah right. We really need that system worldwide. NOT! For God's sake, let your women have equal rights, an education and a job. Two incomes definitely take the pressure off.



  26. 26

    Re: State ziti – It's not a Muslim name. That was a very ignorant comment.



  27. 27

    He should have waited to see if Obama was elected, then his family would have gotten all the free hand-outs they could ever have hoped for.



  28. 28

    I've been waiting for something like this to happen since the dow dropped. I figured there'd be more of this going on, not murder suicide, but more suicides.



  29. 29

    Re: State ziti – Your comment was EXTREMELY ignorant. First of all, OBAMA IS NOT MUSLIM. Secondly, just because someone has a different sounding name doesn't make them Muslim. Thirdly, not all Muslims are extremists. And now, I bet you'll say I'M a Muslim. Well, guess again ignoramus. I'm a white chick from LA. So fuck you. People like you make me embarrassed to be an American. You're incredibly unpatriotic.

    Re: Cinnie
    Right on. First of all, this dude was Indian (Hindu btw ), and the Muslim religion does not preach killing your family in the name of honor. This guy was obviously sick and desperate. For some reason he thought this was a viable option because he didn't want his family to live with the shame of him being a failure. Before this he was the average clean cut upstanding citizen, with overachieving children. Chilling this was planned, pre-meditated.. U never know what is going on in a desperate man's head. This is what happens when you let these superficial things (not not being able to providing for your family-but the 'financially sucessfull and accomplished' image) to define your self-worth.



  31. 31

    The Muslims kill rape victims because they feel they have brought dishonor to their family. I'm sure God wants these people to take over the world. NOT!!



  32. 32

    State ziti you are a sick fuck and a perfect example of what is wrong in the world today. You're no better than the extremists you're spouting about.



  33. 33

    State Ziti

    You will have to account for every word you speak one day. Every single word.

    You should be frightened for your fucking soul.

    You're ignorant and you're one of those people who instead of helping clean up the world, you just shit on the pile to make it better.

    You should be ashamed of yourself…

    …but you don't have the sense/heart/soul to be.

    Ignorant of your own ignorance. It would be laughable…if it wasn't so sad.



  34. 34

    Why didn't he just become a cab driver?



  35. 35

    Oh, and you CAN collect life insurance money if the policy holder commits suicide. With most policies, it's two years after the policy is initiated.



  36. 36

    it's probably hard for you to understand the depths of despair, when faced with the responsibility of family & children. i'm not condoning it by any means, but you're raking in the dough & we read your shit about wealthy soulless ignoramus's like it means anything. real people have real lives. when you're out of your own culture completely & surrounded by mindless american culture, maybe you have no resources, or people to talk to about things. i feel sorry for all of them, you're a funny, lucky, gay man who happened to hit it at the right time. you may deserve it, who knows. i like you, but we'll see what happens when you age & are faced with life's trials & then determine your mettle. my friend killed himself, his 3 daughters & the family dog - in his parents home. his wife was divorcing him. he was obviously mentally ill. so is this man, compounded with cultural traditions. wasn't long ago we stopped doing satee & jumping on the funeral pyre.

    Re: Furby Fuckina Fuckwad – FUCK THAT! He was in AMERICA and in AMERICA is not NOT OK to kill your family then kill yourself because you're distraught over your financial situation!



  38. 38

    did anyone here know them??
    no didnt think so.
    i went to high school with the oldest son.
    this truely is a tragic story.

    im actually kind of surprised it made perez news



  39. 39

    The honourable thing to do would be to enjoy the love of your family more than enjoying money. what a sad life this greedy shit led if it all meant nothing without the cash. cock.

    Just because there is a word 'honorable' some of you ignorant Americans start screaming at the top of your lungs. Reminds me of some shithead that killed a hindu guy after 9/11 because he 'looked' muslim. If you Americans start reading and start traveling the world you would know the difference between different religions,ethnicities,countries. I want to explain a few things but why even bother. Anyway this guy probably was a Indian dude who's life was IN America. That makes him American. How many people get killed on a daily basis because of gun violence? So shut the fuck up instead of being racist bitches about it.

    Re: State ziti

    "but all extremists are Muslim"

    Well there are extremists in *every* religion.

    Re: State ziti

    I normally don't leave comments like this… But you're a disgusting pig.

    Re: dancingirl2

    Hey so I didn't know them personally, but my roommate & her family had been really close family friends w/ them forever. Her family is helping to deal w/ the aftermath. So sad and tragic :'(

    ps-i'm also surprised that this made perezhilton.com



  44. 44

    I don't know if I'd call his suicide "honorable", but it was certainly the right thing for him to do after killing his family. Saved law enforcement a lot of time and money.
