Man Who Stood Idly By As Wife And Daughters Were Brutally Raped And Murdered Wants People To Go Out And Do Something For Their Family...


NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — "Dr. William Petit Jr. still bore bruises and gashes as he urged hundreds of mourners Saturday to "spread the work" of his wife and two young daughters, who were slain after burglars surprised them in their home.

Petit, the lone survivor of the violent attack, told more than 2,000 friends and strangers who crowded the memorial service about his wife of 22 years, who was a nurse; his college-bound daughter; and his youngest, who was just 11.

"I guess if there's anything to be gained from the senseless deaths of my beautiful family, it's for us all to go forward with the inclination to live with a faith that embodies action. Help a neighbor, fight for a cause, love your family," Petit said.

"I'm really expecting all of you to go out and do some of these things with your family, in your own little way, to spread the work of these three wonderful women. Thank you," he told the crowd."

Anytime else this'd be funny as hell. John Dillinger asking folks to respect banks. That kind of funny. The "man" renders me speechless.
