As you can see though didnt pick up any traction because it wasnt a "mass" killing. Only shot himself. Wonder why nobody screaming about this incident. Doesnt fit their agenda??

A 7th grader having a .22 caliber weapon in school... eh, it's Tuesday. What's for breakfast.

Yes i had this discussion with my dad and he always states in his generation he didnt have any of these shootings that he can remember. Or at least the frequency of them since there was shootings in the 60s 70s and so on. I said i remember columbine happened in 1999. I was in 8th grade. these things have been happening all throughout my life. Columbine VT Pulse Lakeland Ft Hood Sandy Hook etc etc. At some point the emotional responses have to stop. Did it impact you directly? More than likely nope. So for the majority of people our lives will go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't support a teen doing it, I have no problem with an adult choosing to end it all. After all, it's his/her life; if anyone had the right to take it, it should be him/her.

I agree that it is their choice but I hate to think of people being in such pain and sadness ending their life without the chance to turn things around. Especially a child bc they don't realize that their hopelessness will not last and is transient. That's probably true about adults as well imo. Either way it leaves behind family members who have to deal with it. Terminal situations is a different deal. Imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy whom is an EMT/ Firefighter described one scene where someone used a .22 to kill themselves....they fired 3 separate shots into their head, and it wasn't till the 3rd shot that they damaged their spinal cord and paralyzed themselves, and they ended up dying from suffocating on their own blood after nearly a half hour.

With respect to an adult, if I knew one who was suicidal, I would try and talk them out of it. However, if it became clear to me that they were hell bent on doing it, I would stand aside. At the end of the day, with adulthood comes the right and responsibility to make decisions for and about yourself. While it may seem selfish to those left behind, far be it for me to try to try and "impose life" on someone who has made the decision that they don't want it.

The sadness is what's sad, more so than their decision to end it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
