I though the article was possible. I believe that it actually happened. Yes, I think Susan should already be in jail if she killed four people already. Money is not the root of all evil but in this case it was.

Who would want to kill their own kids? I think she should have already been in jail. She should be able to have a hand gun in her night stand. Money is not the root of all evil. Not all people want money and would go and kill their family members if they wanted money.

I think that it is horrible what she did. I think she should have already been in prison, that would have kept her sons alive. I do not think that money is the root of all evil.Most crimes are committed for money but not all of them. Some people will do things like this just to get a rush or just because they are crazy.

This is crazy. She should have already been jail for shooting and killing someone for entering her house uninvited. If someone came into my house and threatened someone, I wouldn't aim to kill unless they had a weapon. A good shot to the knee and call the cops that would have been a better deal. If she was in jail, she wouldn't have killed her sons. The Money is not the root of all evil, just some of evil in this world.

I thought this article was sad. Who would kill their family members just for money? I think Hendricks should have been in jail for killing other people than just her son's and if she was already in jail, they would still be alive today, that is if she didn't get out and go find them and then kill them. Money is not root of all evil. I would so not kill my self or take someone else life just for money. That's just very retarded.

After reading the article, I believe that money causes people to do very crazy things. Money and greed, are the leading causes, things like this happen.The mother should be put in jail, for a long time.

My thoughts about this article is that this woman was selfish and sick. I believe that Susan Hendricks should have been in jail because she had killed 4 people. She should have been put into jail a long time ago for this. In this cass money was the root of evil because this lady killed her family members for life insurance money.

I thank that after the she should have already been I jail. I just do not now what to say about his but have lady is just so cold hearted and needs to be locked out for ever.

I do believe money causes people to do things they normally wouldn't do. The mom should be in jail for life or maybe even the death penalty, what kind of mom kills her own kids.

After reading this article, I believe it’s clear that Susan Hendricks was mentally unstable because no one in their right mind would kill their own family members for their life insurance money. She had already killed a man before and if the court had rethought their decision of determining she had acted in self defense, they might have saved the lives of those four family members she murdered. I don’t believe that money is the root of all evil because money doesn’t affect everyone the way it has affected this woman. Although money can become a motive for people to do bad things, it can also motivate people to do great things with their lives. Just because this woman let money control her decisions and murder her family doesn’t mean that everyone would do the same.

My reaction on this article was surprising. Why would you want to kill anybody specially your own fleshing blood that you birth over there life insurance, that's so sick. She should have been locked up ahead of time but now she should be punished for the rest of her life, Money can be the root of evil if you let it take control over your life and mind.

When I read this article,I was very shocked about what she did. Yes she should already be in jail. Because she killed a man and said it was self-defense. I think money is the root of evil. Because people will do anything to get money.

I think that this women is nuts. How do you kill both of your sons for money? Since they claim it is self-defense then she should not have been in jail. I think that money is the root of all evil because most people die because they owe someone money or something else along those lines.

Coollife said...

i think it was crazy. how she killed someone before and didn't get put in jail. and now she killed her family for money. which bring me to my next point how money is the center of evil. money makes people do some crazy things.

I do not understand how a mother could kill her two sons for money. The article said there was no evidence that drugs were involved, there may not have been any but she needs help. Her help needs to be the death penalty or life in prison. Yes, Susan Hendricks should have already been in jail. Therefore, she could not have killed her two sons. I do believe money is the root of all evil. These days, people will do very inhuman and evil things in order to submerge themselves in wealth. Susan Hendricks is a prime example. Money is not everything. Family is far more important than anything-material item in this world.

I think that this article is absolutely crazy. To think that a mother would kill her kids for money; she is out of her mind. She should get a very harsh punishment. I do think that money is the root of all evil because, people do some out of the question things for money. You basically need money to survive; therefore, people are going to do anything they can to get money. If the police proved that she was innocent, then she should had been free. But, after committing such a horrific crime she needs to be locked up for a long time, or forever is fine.

Keith Bryant: This is crazy, what will people do for money? When it comes down to killing you family, you have a problem, a major problem. Yes she should definitely be convicted if not that’s is ridiculous.
