*OUCH* Boss Killed Pair Who Wanted Raise, Police Say
Only in Georgia :crazy:

EAST POINT, Ga. -- The owner of a car dealership is expected to appear in a Georgia courtroom Tuesday to face accusations that he killed two employees because they kept asking for pay raises.

The man, a native of the eastern European nation of Lithuania, has been charged with two counts of murder.

Police said the suspect, who was having financial problems, told police he shot the two Thursday after they kept asking for raises. East Point, Ga., police Capt. Russell Popham said Rolandas Milinavicius, 38, told them he had been under stress and just snapped. Inga Contreras, 25, and Martynas Simokaitis, 28, were killed.

The man started RM Auto International two years ago, hoping to meet the demand for American cars in Lithuania. He began shipping cars and later hired the two victims as his only employees. East Point is near Atlanta.

Popham said the suspect turned himself in two days after the shootings.

3. This is very disturbing.
These kinds of things make me afraid to leave my home.
They were two young people, who had people that loved them.
This could of happened to anyone.

I'm starting to really hate life.

7. Thanks.
But every time I hear that someone is killed
I think of them and their families.

It's hard for me to dismiss news like this.
I have a lot of anxiety.

n/t though.

cheers

4. Maybe they don't fire people, in Lithuanian culture?
Because that's an option he might have considered before literally pulling out the big guns.

10. I clicked on this just to see what state it was - Had to be Georgia, Alabama,
or Mississippi. Sorry to the liberals in those states, but you know better than me just how redneck these states are.

11. A "redneck" didn't pull the trigger but the weak guns laws they espouse did
It's time to make guns hard to get and to use.

13. Expected to appear? Why isn't he under arrest?
Who is to say he won't "snap" again and kill somebody else?
