An interesting tidbit I didn't see talked about. The only reason the little girl opened the door was because it was tradition for Santa to show up every year to bring presents for the kids, so when the girl yelled Santa and none of the adults reacted.. that was the reason why (it was normally a family friend or family member who came as Santa every year).

Two Things: 1. I find it surprising that all that money Bruce spent on destroying his family could have been spent paying off his debt. 2. I think the reason he decided to take his own life was that he knew that with the burns to his body he couldn't possibly cross the border and get on a plane without attracting some attention. And he also couldn't go to the hospital for assistance because it would have the same result. So he probably felt he had no other option but to take his own life.

I grew up in Covina and remember hearing about this. It was such a tragedy. They have since knocked down the home and have built a new one.

[@katm8128]

Imagine having to relive this trauma every Christmas… which is supposed to be such a joyous time

[@coffin_kid]

in no way is my situation leading to this similar apart from my father dying (from covid, not from gun violence), but Christmas day marks 3 months since his death and it's definitely gonna be a difficult one so I can only imagine how difficult it will be for the survivors. my heart goes out to them!

[@anniej.4539]

Just so everyone is aware, the waiting period for purchasing guns in CA is called a cool off period so they can try to prevent people who are heated from buying a gun and using it on a whim if they are having a bad day. In the meantime, a full background check is done, even if buy a gun with cash. Buying a gun with cash means nothing because a full background check is still completed, so buying a gun with cash does not keep you under the radar.

[@ellswybinga2989]

What a joke. If someone really wants a whole slew of guns it won't matter how long they have to wait.

[@anniej.4539]

@@ellswybinga2989 Most laws in CA are a joke. There’s a cool down period to buy a gun but you can steal $950 worth of stuff and not get in trouble and donate/ receive blood that’s contaminated with AIDS! Way to go California! Keeping Americans safe.

[@parrissaking1180]

I feel like maybe, like in this case, if someone buys guns over a period of time and then uses them for this that they can prove it’s premeditated

[@Luna_Spiritus]

Unless you're buying it outta a shady guy's trunk?

[@emilyrasputin]

@@parrissaking1180 This was my thought as well. He put a lot of time into purchasing guns which implied he was at least planning SOMETHING for several months in advance. Although a makeshift flamethrower kind of proves the same point, because I doubt you can make that in a quick fit of rage

I'm less than 10 minutes in, but I've just gotta share this childhood memory which just got a whole lot creepier.. When I still believed in Santa, I saw a man dressed as Santa at our front door after dark. He kept motioning for me to open the door, I got excited and ran to get my mom who was doing dishes in the kitchen. She thought I was just playing make believe, and she knew that I knew better than to open the door, so she didn't follow me, just kept doing dishes. I went back to the door and he was still there, motioning for me to let him in. I was so tempted, but I didn't want to get in trouble, so i didn't. Eventually, he gave up and left. A few years ago, I brought it up to my mom and she was like, "Wait, that was real?? You really saw that???" We both got the chills. I dont even want to think about what that man's intentions were.

[@jenniferatwell9698]

I was a Senior in high school when this happened and one of the kids I went to school with was in that house. Even though I didn’t know him or his family really well, it was so tragic and heart breaking for our school because a lot of people did know him and love him. I had the honor of writing a dedication piece in our yearbook for him. So so sad.
