*From what I understand, it was Michael (eldest son) who passed at the scene. Matthew was taken to SF General but was taken off life support yesterday. May Tony, Michael, and Matthew rest in peaceful paradise.. All of my prayers and condolences go out to Danielle, Andrew, and little Francesca in this time of tremendous tragedy. There could very likely be information not yet being released for the purpose of catching these senseless killers....

A mental evaluation should be added to DMV requirements to drive a vehicle in these stressful times.

This is just so sad. And, in classis SFPD MO, "no arrests have been made." At least they are not claiming that the father and son committed suicide and then washed off the gun and hid it in a Chyrsler 300M.

Turns out the 16 year-old son didn't die, the news got it wrong. He's in the hospital in critical but stable condition. That's three people in the car: father, and two sons. One son survived.

Brock and MisterDarcy are having a fight! My money is on the man who's alias is not selected from a Jane Austin novel.

I've actually stopped flipping the bird, throwing trash, and using my horn because of this sort of shit. Too many people out there lost to meth and the DMV.

Too soon, if at all, Scorched. We're seeing a lot of people shot on 101 lately -- is ANYONE on this?

I don't want to make fun of the dead but... his name was Tony Bologna?

Isn't "racist" an interesting accusation? There is absolutely no way to defend oneself of the accusation. And the fact that it's casually tossed around to include everyone from hardcore, hood-wearing KKK members to casually ignorant bystanders means it has pretty much any meaning the accuser wants it to have.

"According to a relative, "angry glares or gestures" might have been exchanged, which could have then led to this family massacre. Ugh." "Ugh"? So Brock, do you now understand why asking "Is it Gang-Related?" (see: http://sfist.com/2008/06/10/oakland_man_sur.php) can be relevant for people? Random acts of violence like these "feel" scarier than a gang thing. I say "feel" because either way it's bad, but for some reason learning that it's a family massacre brought about by road rage feels different than learning that 3 gang members are killed over a drug deal gone bad. Either way, it's depressing but for many it's still kinda different, as far as their self preservation concerned.
