1. Please, TMZ. Have the decency to stop reporting about this horrific tragedy on your celebrity gossip site.

It's sick.

2. TMZ, I check your site out for Celeb gossip. This is over the top. Please stop.

A woman. A WIFE, A MOTHER was murdered. Strangled. Her 7 year old son had to live through it and was murdered by his FATHER the next day.

This is NOT gossip. Please stop.

Please, please, stop.

5. But of course his suicide is "more likely premeditated, ..Helloooo? ...Any person who kill themselves will "premeditate" how to do it, a gun. a knife, pills, etc, etc....
Unless of course is an accident, but then it will not be a suicide, right? According to the call's time frame he had more than 2 hours to think about it. I'm glad he did it. That's the least he could do.

6. Obviousily he was crying for help and no one replied. This is too sick to be published.

7. There is more to this than meets the eye. Like how someone with a Stamford CT IP addy could post on wikipedia--more than 18 hours BEFORE the bodies were found--that Benoit missed the match Sun b/c of his wife's death?

This isn't over, I promise. And I don't think it's as simple as a double-murder/suicide.

8. Well Tmz, Are you done exploiting Benoit and his family's gruesome deaths by now? Haven't you had your kicks already.

9. TMZ!!!

Stop! This does NOT belong on your site! SHAME on you! Stop this! This is NOT Gossip! This is a HORRIFIC situation! It's NOT FUNNY, it does not belong here!

SHAME SHAME SHAME on the person at your office who is reporting this! You are SICK!

Posted at 11:30PM on Jun 26th 2007 by STOP!

10. I want to personally thank Harvey and TMZ for having the balls to report this. Chris Benoit will forever be remembered as an incredible douche bag who lacked the courage to pay for his sins. He is a pussy. A coward. A putz.

11. I just heard that Benoit was injecting his son with hypodermic needles! It seems the kid was a dwarf and Benoit must have been injecting him with growth hormones. Not sure if it was by doctor's orders or just something Benoit decided to do since the kid, at 7, was "small".

Just how odd do you have to be to be in the WWE?

12. Yo don have to click into the artical if it is too sick for you that is your choice. You cant control what the site offers, by putting your stamp of approval on it or not. Just dont read it
.Dont turn on the news shows, the radio. It's all over the place and it's that simple to prevent yourself from being exposed to it.

13. It seems to me, from the text messages sent, he was delusional and not thinking clearly. "My physical address..." That looks like he was indicating his/their soul(s) were else where.

14. Anything for website hits, right, TMZ? I believe this will be the last time I visit this site. This story is sick! It adds NOTHING to what we already have learned of this horrible act by this vicious man. If you had to report on this story, the minimum that should have been said: "between 3:53 AM and 5:58 AM, June 24, text messages giving his physical address and where the guard dogs were located were sent via Nany and his cell phones." End of story. We don't need a freakin recount of every GD text message especially when there are only two in essence. This is just way over the top. I'm just sick of it. If it's not 5 Paris stories in a row of some stupid "breaking news" or you agreeing with whoever that she should shut up and serve her time while shoving her down our throats, you're reporting detailed stories about something that doesn't add any value to already horrible story. This is almost as bad as the grocery check-out stand tabloids. Anything for a buck. Sick.

15. Come on, this is a CELEBRITY NEWS site... If you don't want to read about the Chris Benoit-related stories, just skip them... There's a lot of people who want to know more about this.
