"Police: Dad threw 4 children off bridge"

[GreenPartyVoter]

BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. - A day after reporting his four young children were missing, a shrimp fisherman broke down and confessed that he threw them off an 80-foot-high bridge to their deaths, authorities said Wednesday.

Lam Luong, 37, was charged with four counts of capital murder, and divers searched the murky waters for the bodies of the youngsters, who ranged in age from a few months to 3 years.

Luong had a drug habit and had argued with his wife, Ngoc Phan, before taking the children, said Phan's brother-in-law, Kam Phengsisomboun.

Authorities said they believe Luong drove on Monday to the two-lane Dauphin Island bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway, stopped at the highest part of the span and threw the youngsters over the side.

1. He confessed to that???

He may as well have cut his own throat. He's never getting out of jail for that...or he's going to get strapped to the table.

2. Death penalty.

AS long as there is one, use it for someone like this who takes the lives of 4 children in SPITE against his wife.

Asshole.

6. No way. I want him to live with this.

8. Never. I oppose it steadfastly. Let him rot in jail for the rest of his life,

but murdering him does nothing to help these victims or society.

9. Shark-infested waters

The shark are attracted by the abundance of commercial and sports fishing in the area ... and the fact that so many "chum the waters" with their left-over bait.

10. Crack and Crank and Meth

I wish I could snap my fingers and make them not exist.

They have all hit close to home and I have seen the insanity they bring.

11. Picture of the asshole

Missing and presumed dead were 4-month-old Danny Luong; 1-year-old Lindsey Luong; 2-year-old Hannah Luong; and 3-year-old Ryan Phan. Phan is not the man's biological child, but Luong raised him from infancy, authorities said.

12. I've driven over that bridge many times

Poor babies were dead on impact from that height.
