Reading comprehension? Gioconda stated that she was acquainted with them, but apparently was not socializing with any of them at the time of the murder. You can work in an creative field and not have substance abuse issues or indulge in a parasitic lifestyle. Abusing drugs and not having the sustenance to keep your person and home reasonably clean isn't being bohemian or artistic, it's a drop out.
You seem to have anger issues...are you close to some of the people involved in this case?

Hey shitname,
You start saying you knew them and finish saying you didn't know what they were like. After describing being in their premises. You're a jerk. And I'm sure you're very artistic as well.

God I hope nobody starts associating this shit with Punk Rock in general....99.999999% of Punk bands are COMPLETELY against murder, and the same is true of most fans I'd say...

I'm sorry for your loss GRETL. I hope some type of justice is served. Very sad to lose a loved one because of someone elses stupidity and hatred.

These people should not be around normal people. I had the misfortune of being their neighbor. I complained about their multiple pets, and they loosened the lug nugs on my car.
Prison seems to be thew ultimate answer for both of them'
Why USC keeps ewa is beyond my capacity to understand.
BOTH should be in jail for pre-meditated murder. They are worthless human beings

I knew all these people back in the day.
"Liverhead's" hairstyle was shocking & hilarious when encountered in a club. "No" Magazine was neither nihilism, nor art. It was mental illness. "Bunuel"? I don't think so.
Eva & Bruce were 2 of the worst drug addicts I've ever seen. I once went to their apartment with one of Eva's colleagues when she worked for Cannon Films. They had large exotic birds in cages, and bird feces and shredded newspaper confetti everywhere. Rotten fruit & wet, tepid lettuce scattered. The stench could give a nosebleed. The repulsive human inhabitants were silent skeletons of death. It's hard to believe they lived long enough for LIverhead to murder someone. Which does not surprise me in the least.
Pete was filthy, lived like a pig, & slept on people's floors with dog food & ants. However, because he was good-looking and sort of charming, he crashed everywhere. I never saw him remotely violent. He did not deserve to be murdered, at least when I knew him.
The tendency to romanticize these self-declared "artists" is what is truly dangerous. The lives they led smelled rotten, looked foul, and led nowhere.
I have no clue what these people were like when this killing went down. My gut instinct tells me that Liverhead killed Pete in cold blood. Of course, it will never be proved. Who really cares. Pete's family, of course, but LAPD has bigger fish to fry.

Interesting to see what constitutes justice and law enforcement in LA. Those are very different things here in New York (though justice here is also very much based on the perceived social standing of the victim). It's very difficult to even keep a gun in a locker at a shooting range in Manhattan, much less actually have one in your home. And they allow this psycho to have a handful. So he thought he'd "never kill a man." Well, now that he's satisfied with having experienced that particular kick, will the LAPD let him continue to roam and have a chance to repeat the thrill? Congrats to the reporter for running all the details here (even if the name of the art school in Baltimore is a little off). True enough, this story will probably allow the guy to sell all those copies of his masterpiece that have been sitting collecting dust. Hopefully he'll have to use the proceeds to pay for a good defense attorney.

Knowing these two, and the whole cast of characters, it is an easy bet that Kahlberg committed murder. It is also likely his wife was at the very least aiding and abetting. I hope they arrest both of them. And hey, that gun is a pussy gun Bruce. I'm a girl and I pack 2 guns. A .357 revolver and a .38. I really wish you would break into my house.

Why a sicko like this guy is out on the streets? And, posing with the gun he had taken someone's life!? Yeah, he'll sell his book. His girlfriend is also disgusting. She is teaching design? What? Conspiracy design? This case must be re-opened.

Baltimore Institute of Art? Don't you mean the Maryland Institute College of Art which is IN Baltimore? FACT CHECK.

Having known Pete, I can see what likely happened.
Doesn't wash, Kalberg. Looks like they're going to be coming for you.

The murder weapon in the article is said to be a .25 caliber Beretta; the weapon in the photograph is not. It is a North American Arms .22. Who is zooming who here?

Here's another tragic story from L.A. of severely misguided talent gone wrong. No one deserves to die like this and it's clear that this gun toting psychopath clearly intended at some point to kill someone. Why are people like him even released from mental care? Based on his later childhood and past behavior he stands as a true sicko. Justice has not been served here and hopefully it will be. Unfortunately every sociopathic lowlife seems attracted to Hollywood. What really gets my attention in this article apart from the hideous death, is that these people mostly represent a pack of losers in the worst sense, and most of them are old enough to be my parents. The police need to follow through on this case and prosecute, but not just Kalberg, but his girlfriend too, who is clearly a seasoned liar.

This is a fascinating story, and I hope this isn`t the end of it.

My brother Peter was a brilliant, gentle person who did not deserve this. If anyone wants to encourage the LA DA's office to pursue justice, and hopefully prevent Kalberg from injuring anyone else, the person in charge of the case is
Thomas P Higgins, Head Deputy District Attorney, Complaints Division.

Rene Diedrich 07/10/2009 5:02:00 AM
This is an open wound, an outrage that betrays how justice gets to pick and choose who it serves and how. Please keep us posted; I know a lot of people are hoping the DA will reopen this case.
