Who let these folks into the apartment? Madness.

It looks like MSNBC wants to get to the bottom of the trash heap even faster than CNN. Someone needs to tell them they donā€™t really want to win that race.

America, where mass murder is a ratings booster. Soon it will be a spectator sport. Oh, never mind, it already is. Just take a look at whatā€™s shoveled out of Hollywood as entertainment today.

There is no way the FBI gave control back to the landlord that quickly. There should have been a guard stationed there. They found explosives and yet relinquished control in two days? Somethingā€™s wrong.

It was the landlord who let them in; he probably violated all sorts of laws, but the FBI apparently had already released the place. LATimes (who didnā€™t go inside from appearances) said there was an FBI agent nearby who didnā€™t even flinch.

Whether or not the local LEOs, or the assailantsā€™ families, will feel the same way is of course entirely different.

ā€¦tsk tsk tskā€¦ Shame on you MSNBC.

Apparently CA law says that a tennancy continues to run its course after a tennant is deceased. I.e., the tenantā€™s estate continues to control the dwelling at least through the period for which rent has already been paid, and the full run of the lease of the next-of-kin continues to pay the rent. I also know from my own experience that CA law is very restrictive on landlordsā€™ ability to enter a unit w/o permission of the legal tennant. Iā€™m assuming there are appropriate exceptions for law enforcement exigencies but even re-entering the apartment himself, let alone inviting in the freaking world, is probably an issue for the LL if he didnā€™t have permision from the coupleā€™s family.

I too am boggled that law enforcement would just be done and hand the place over in barely 36 hours, but I admit Iā€™m no FBI crime scene dude.

How did these couch nozzles get in there?

Who the fuck in law enforcement in charge here?

WTF?

Andrea Mitchell was in the studio asking questions of the reporter, but, to her credit, she looked increasingly sick and disgusted by the spectacle, and they eventually pulled the plug on it. Kerry Sanders, the reporter, never seemed aware of his highly questionable actions, including going through the belongings in the babyā€™s room. He seemed like a paparazzi chasing after a Kardashian.

This is just appalling. What kind of point did they think they were making here? Presumably this remains the property of the accused or their next of kin so by what right does a news organization paw through it? Tasteless as well as pointless.

So, how exactly is this a problem? I can see NOT showing pictures of the killersā€™ baby, but otherwiseā€¦ the FBI had already completed their work and the landlord let these reporters in. Probably, a pointless thing to do, but since it was done, what exactly is the problem?

not the first crew to enter the home, we did have the first live shots

First things first, badda bing!
Oh, andā€¦regretā€¦yea.

I think part of the problem (and try to put yourself in the place of a relative of a criminal) is that technically the things in that apartment belonged to their baby.

The landlord had no right to go in even if the FBI werenā€™t interested in it anymore and the media certainly should have known they were breaking the law. And they were breaking the law since the landlord had no right to enter the apartment without permission of the dead renterā€™s family.

ā€˜The landlord said it was all rightā€™ is their excuse? I guess I must have missed the memo which absolves human adults of all concern about taste and dignity if thereā€™s a landlord present.

This was criminal and stupid. Kerry sanders, et. al. should be arrested for criminal trespass. They learned nothing of value, and even if they didnā€™t disturb a potential crime scene, they appeared to have on TV. This, too me, should be the beginning of the end of MSNBC. Try to be a fox-of-the-left is stupid. Liberals donā€™t need to hear the opinions echoed back at them like conservatives do.

Where were the producers at MSNBC and CNN and all the other 24/7 news channels that showed up at that house and did ths? Regretting it after the fact? Itā€™s like closing the barn door after all the animals have run away. This is a an example of everything wrong with MSM today. No sense of propriety or right and wrong ā€“ just get the story no matter how lurid and prurient it may be. Better yetā€¦the more lurid and prurient the better.

It is disgusting.

Reportedly, when the federals were finished with what they wanted to see/grasp, the coupleā€™s estate was to get that stuff out of there. they were unaware that the landlord did thatā€¦
