Florida man kills family, teen son escapes

Trench Reynolds

Teen son escapes Fla. family slaying; 4 dead:

A lot of people say there is no such thing as good and evil in the world. They say things aren’t that black and white. I disagree. That my friends is 34-year-old Troy Ryan Bellar. He is the face of true evil.

After an argument with his wife Bellar gunned down his wife Wendy Bellar, their 8-year-old son Ryan Patrick Bellar and their 5-month-old son Zack James Bellar. He also made a concerted effort to try and kill his 13-year-old son Nathan…

His father chased him through the cluttered garage and took aim, but tripped on a bicycle before he could get off another fatal shot. As Nathan ran screaming to the safety of a neighbor’s house, the father killed himself in the front lawn.

So not only was Bellar evil he was also a coward.

Every once in a while a story comes along that makes me think about retiring from the blogging business. This is one of them.

Thanks to Gary for the tip.

    since the beginning of the human race, there’s been a tug of war between good and evil. we could have avoided much of this if evil hadn’t tempted eve in the garden of eden…who in turn, tempted adam. God will punish those who side with satan….and it appears that He’s going to be working overtime these days. (just a little of my lutheran upbringing surfacing).
    i’m sure in this guy’s case, he was feeling overwhelmed and thought he’d take care of the source of stress. even though i was raised to believe that suicide is the one unforgivable sin (seeing how as you can’t repent for taking a human life once you’re dead) i can’t understand why a person feels the need to take out the whole family before taking his own life. i can’t even begin to imagine the pain; sorrow; anger; and total bewilderment his mother…father…siblings are feelinging. the total heartbreak and rage her parents are feeling…having lost nearly an entire family. thank the Lord that nathan had a guardian angel watching over him and was able to escape harm. the psychological damage that has been done to this poor child will be irriversable. the sense of loss and horror of what he witnessed will forever haunt him. my heart and prayers go out to this family. when will this all end?

    That poor boy! I have lost count of the number of familicides that have happened in this country just since January. Satan is building his army. And unfortunately, there are many willing to heed his call. May all of you be safe today.

    I just don’t understand…..how can you kill your own children? I’ve been mad enough at times that I could have happily choked the living shit out of some jerk who was deserving. But the children? I cannot fathom such an action. You are right, karen – Satan is building his army. And at an exponential rate, if the stories on sites like these are any indication.

    I think I’ll go up to the children’s schools today. Just to say “Hi.” And hug them.

    I hope that someone will step up and get Nathan into therapy as soon as possible. He’s got fear, loss, and guilt that will plague him. It seems that anyone who has survived an incident where others perish suffer from guilt… why them? why not me? I should have been able to save them… and so on. I hope there are extended family members who can care for Nathan. I hope he doesn’t have to go into foster care. Even though I’m a foster parent, I can understand the need for this child to be with people he knows as he grieves the loss of his family.

    I also don’t understand why the crazies have to take out the family. Makes no sense.

    I never thought something like this could happen where I live. Bad enough so many other stories in FL that make us look like hearless hicks, but in my own city.

    heartless*

    Right. He wasn’t a crazy self-absorbed maladjusted ass-hole with rage issues, it was SATAN!!! All he needed was a good exorcism and some Pentecostals to dance around with a snake and this would have never happened.

  • Angel

    I’m afraid that not even Pentecostals with snakes could have helped this guy, Skanky. Unless the snakes involved were poisonous, hungry, and THROWN at dick-for-brains, instead of danced around him. He probably would have poisoned the snakes though…..

  • LIsa

    Satan loves crazy self-absorbed maladjusted assholes with rage issues, Skank. Just ask him.

    BLACKHEARTED HUMANS DESERVE BLACKHEARTED JUSTICE.EVIL ALWAYS SHOWS BENEATH THE SURFACE AND IS READY TO ERUPT IN THESE INDIVIDUALS. ITS INCREDIBLE THAT RAGE LIKE THIS GOES UNNOTICED BY THERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BEING AFRAID TO GET INVOLVED WITH THESE ANIMALS WHETHER THERE YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY ,FRIENDS OR PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND WORK WITH MORE TIMES THEN NOT RESULTS IN THE KIND OF STORY WE JUST READ ABOUT.

    What a PIG, I’m glad he shot himself, that FIVE MONTH OLD BOY! How could he? I’m sick…

  • karen

    @skank:Right. He wasn’t a crazy self-absorbed maladjusted ass-hole with rage issues, it was SATAN!!!

    hmmmm….you couldn’t possibly think this was God’s handiwork? as trench said, there’s good and evil…something helps turn them into, well in case his son was ever to come on here and read this, i’m not going to use all the descriptive words you used….something helped him to perform this evil crime….and it wsn’t God. believe what you want skank…just my opinion.

  • Angel

    Good answer, karen.

  • Jen

    Even if Satan is real, I disagree that he “helped” the guy do this. That takes too much blame off the asshole. I hope there is a Satan though. Because if there’s a Satan, there’s a Hell, and this guy is burning in it.

  • Angel

    Can we pour a little more kerosene on that fire, please? Maybe some magnesium to make it burn white-hot? I want him to be toasty warm…..
