Default If you're going to do yourself in, this is the way to explain it

So, to think he just plotted all this down just to off himself...

Quote:
I finally decided the best way to do it would be at 5AM on August 15, 2013 at the far southeast end of the parking lot at the Overland Park Police Station. If everything worked out right – and I’m sure it did, I called 911 at 5AM. I told them “I want to report a suicide at the south end of the parking lot of the Overland Park Police Station at 123rd and Metcalf. Bang.”
Edit, ok, obviously he was really depressed. sad.

I pretty much agree with much of what he wrote, who wants to die having their arse wiped, deal with the economic collapse, etc. The fact is, I hate humanity, so if it all goes to hell, I want to be here to witness it.

Truth is, the guy was a coward, you can find many reasons to die, better to find a reason to live.

I will quote part of the Declaration of Independence...

Quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It was his Life, and he choose to do with it what he would. In this case, end it on his terms. It was his right to do so - and I can only say that provided his actions in emailing/mailing letters, etc were true and accurate, he did a rather responsible job of it.

Yea cool. Suicide is so fashionable.

I like how on the bottom of the page linked to zeroshare it says: in case this is of help to anyone..and then link.

Unless i missed the point or irony of that, his accounts of his suicide and life aren't helpful at all to someone considering suicide.
Garbage.

In fact all it does is advertise that if you can't man up and handle crap in your life like so many others have to, including me every single day of our lives, and that you have come to the conclusion that the only way to deal with the crap is to off yourself, well, pretty darn sad really.

Is there a flip side to this? Of course.

EDIT: The other thing that irritates me about this is why the hell tell me about it? (his account)
You wanna off yourself, go ahead.
You can't handle life? Go ahead.
Show pony. Attention-seeker.

Kind of selfish and the resulting aftermath of those in his family left behind apparently did not matter much. Seems like a game to leave GPS coordinates to his claimed fortune. Suicide in a majority of cases involves a individual who is very troubled and often clinically depressed. Somehow I do not see this as the case. I see it as the easy way out. So many with so little carry on into their golden years. Perhaps there was more to his story but we and his family will never know. This is the aftermath.

He should've taken up fishing. Good stress reliever for some. Just put a lure on a hook, throw the line out and hope you get a bite. He should've gotten together with a buddy and gone fishing instead.

I don't hate humanity....I just lose faith in it sometimes.

Most often at my own stupid stupid age group. (No offense Cybermat47 You seem to be alright.)

This is why:

#I #Got #So #Much #Swag #YOLO #forrrrealllll







I can see why some people lose faith/hope in humanity...or start to hate it.

Because look at this....this is our future.

Half of them are going to get a roundhouse kick from reality when they reach their twenties and realise that ironed shirts and waist high trousers will get you the means of living. Work, not swag.
A quarter of them will get that kick near their thirties.
The other quarter will simply die or slide into that group that says yolo before covering themselves with newspaper for the night.


Kids these days are just let to be kids for too long.

+100 Trillion

SWAG doesn't pay bills!

It might sound horrible...but I think there needs to be a kind of Swag Holocaust. Natural Selection needs to hit these people like a brick wall.

No more Justin Bieber, no more racist rap music, no more saggy pants, no more flat bill hats...

NO MORE SWAG.
