#1 He is described as a white male in his late 40s, about 5-feet-9 to 6 feet tall and weighing 190 pounds.
Paging Charles Bronson, Charles Bronson please go to the white telephone.

#3 Why would three sex offenders live together?

The killer is likely to be a relative of a victim. What would a jury say?

#4 It appears to be some sort of halfway house or group home arrangement.

I think it is just as likely to be a pre-emptive killing by someone whose family or friends have not yet been victimized.
It is very unlikely that there was any connection between the crimes of the two dead pervs. A revenge killer would therefore have less reason to whack both of them. The killer couldn't have beem that concerned about a witness or he would not have let the third one get away.
Leaving that witness also indicates that the killer is not especially worried about a visual ID. As I mentioned, this might be because he is an outsider brought in by a victim's family, but it is more probably because an investigation of victims would not lead police to him under any circumstances.

#5 Shall we chalk this up as a community service?

Although I don't have the stones to do this myself - I certainly can understand the fear, frustration and anger that can lead to this type of vigilante action. I live in southern California and have a daugher the same age as Samantha Runion would have been. For those of you unfamiliar with her - she was the 5 year old snatched from in front of her mom's apartment, sexually abused and murdered by an animal named Avila. He was recently sentenced to death in California.

We have a couple of afternoon talk radio personalities at a local (LA) radio station (KFI). These two recently called attention to a group home in the area that received a particularly nasty sexual predator who was released following a 14 sentence. He was quoted as sayingssomething to the effect of "I might as well kill the next one to avoid going back to prison". I thought that someone would off this guy just as soon as media spotlight shifted somewhere else, but it hasn't happened yet.

I don't want to see a return to Dodge city, with gunfights in the street - however, decent people deserve to be safe, to let their kids play outside without fear of predation. If the government won't defend us - who will?

I hope the guy who performed this gets away clean. I also hope it leads to a few more sex offenders demise. These people can't be cured - but they can fixed.

#6 think if the killer was black they would describe him as such? I've noticed mainly whites are identified by race in the news (huge generalization, I know) but if they really want to solve crimes instead of being PC, describe all by apparent race or skin color...we all can relate

#8 sad that our justice system recycles these unreformed predators back onto the streets. I shed no tears for these two.
Sex offenders are notoriously recidivist and shouldn't be treated like any other prisoner, especially teh pedophiles. Remove their equipment and drown em in anti-testosterone/agression drugs, with electronic monitoring after lengthy jail sentences.
