https://www.insideedition.com/dayto...ary-remembers-him-funny-kind-smile-55244The obituary for Dayton, Ohio, gunman Connor Betts is stirring outrage after it made no mention of the 24-year-old's mass shooting. Betts was shot dead by police after opening fire early Aug. 4 in Dayton's packed entertainment district. He killed nine people in less than a minute, including his own sibling, and injured 17 others. But you wouldn't know it by Betts' obituary, which described him as "a funny, articulate and intelligent man with striking blue eyes and a kind smile." It also described him as an "avid reader" who read the Harry Potter series as a first grader. "When Connor wasn't reading on his Kindle or playing his Xbox, you could find him watching his favorite show, 'Bob's Burgers,'" the obituary read. It offered no apology to his victims. "Connor will be missed immensely by his friends, family, and especially his good dog Teddy," it stated. The obituary, which was posted on the website for Conner & Koch funeral home in Bellbrook, Ohio, has since been taken down amid fierce backlash. Brian Koch, the home's funeral director, confirmed its authenticity to The Independent before it was removed. “If it’s on our website, it’s real,” Koch said.

Didn’t mention that he also murdered his sister.

We are shooters, they are psychopaths, murderers, and cowards. They are not us and we are not them.
He committed mass murder like Charles Manson.

Usually the family writes the obituary, at leeast from what I have seen. So I am not surprised.

About 10 years ago some guy in Cheyenne shot his wife, or ex-wife (I don’t remember) as she was singing in the Old Chicago restaurant there. Then then headed to the national forest west of town and killed himself. The family wrote a glowing obituary, mentioning how much he loved his children and that he even wanted his children to have his guns! The newspaper published it with an apology, and you can imagine the outrage that followed.

The obituary is about the deceased but it's not for the deceased. It's for the survivors. The survivors didnt shoot up the place. They have to try to go on after a loved one went psycho and killed his sister plus a bunch of other people. They are in so much shock and pain, we cant even imagine.

Flipping chips man, people stupidity never lets you down. You can always count on it.

Oh, I can imagine if it was one of my siblings or even a cousin that committed the acts he did. I'd protest the "glowing obituary" and if the others had an issue I'd likely just avoid them forever.

If he was family of mine he’d have no obituary and be in an unmarked grave or maybe cremated and poured down the toilet.
