Audience Applauds 19 yr old's Suicide on Stage

:nopity:

 

Rather a sad end to a life so young.

I feel very sorry for those people in the audience who had to witness this. I am sure that a lot of them will have their own issues dealing with what they saw.


Sad all around.

 

Sorry in advance for such a strong reply...

But, people need to open their fucking eyes and realize what state of emotion teenagers are in these days. I blame it on teachers and parents. If there's a young adult sitting in a classroom wearing all black, eyeliner, makeup, and a shitty attitude... or none at all... SAY SOMETHING. Anything! Ask him/her if they're alright, don't be too pushy, but at least lend a helping hand or offer some type of help. Don't just let them sit in the back of the class and wallow in their sorrows all year.

Like the recent school shooting that was averted. It's not like there were no signs that the kid had problems. You never see kids in polo shirts and tight jeans talk about shooting people. Can you see what I'm getting at here? I can't be the only one that thinks like this. Fear, anxiety and depression is disabling people far and wide from enjoying life and living it to the fullest. The way I see it, this may be the only ride we get (as far as life goes), might as well get the most out of it and enjoy your time here.

As for this event, it pains me to see a fellow artist feeling so low-down that he actually had the chance to take measures to end his own [life]. I won't place the blame on anyone, because I'm sure it's very hard to live through something like that, being a parent, close family member, etc. But still, people need to wake up, shake the fear from their bones, stand up from their soiled, raggety sheets and speak up.

Things like this happen every day and can be averted just the same, with all the facebooking, twittering, texting even. It puts a pain in my heart knowing that something like this happens every day and nothing was done about it. I just pray these words are taken with pride by others to make a stand against this sort of thing.

This is an excellent DEMONstration of the desensitization of the public via mind-control/mind-programming thru media projecting repetitive images of violence murder and killing.

The sociopathic de-personalization of the masses thru media drugs and all tools of conditioning to accept a mass-extermination

Also an excellent measure of the degree and prevalence of mental illnesses.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would get up and leave such a demonstration whether I thought it real or staged, it is the same, makes me nauseous, I have to leave.

One hand it’s tragic on the other hand such events need to happen to help ppl
Awaken to their psychotic state and make an attempt to heal.

 

He wanted a death with maximum shock value. Guess he got it.

My sympathy is with the family.

 

Geeze if only everyone who sang on the streets killed themselves.

 

most are doing just that.

still oregon is a place where ppl are still more real than much of the country
strange place for such an atrocity

as is mine depending on the family of course
if they are good ppl my sympathy is there
if they are the cause it is not

 

An extremely selfish person.

Too bad he never got the chance to realise that everybody has to go through shit times.

He seemed to want revenge on the world, based on the story. He got a small version of it. Very selfish, not much more to say.

 

suicide is selfish no matter what the circumstances, but in most cases its unintentional selfishness. Some people get so lost in their own despair and loneliness that they fail to see they will hurt the people they leave behind.

In this case, its intentionally selfish. This man chose to kill himself in a way that would create the most shock amongst those that are close to him. I don't have any sympathy for him. This strikes me almost as more homocidal than suicidal. He killed himself specifically to hurt others.

 

This is a sad story all around. I tried to kill myself a few times but it wasn't until the last attempt when the hospital contacted my father and I had to explain to him why I was there did it sink in how much my suicide would imply for my family. You don't get over seeing an expression like that on a loved one's face. I was lucky enough to get just such a wake up call and if there's one thing that stops me whenever those thoughts creep back in my head during rough times, it's the memory of my father's face that day at the hospital.

I'm sorry for the man that died, I'm sorry for his family, I'm sorry for the audience and I'm sorry for the shop owner that will now have the most infamous location in town. I can only hope that some good will come of this, whether it's one person becoming more involved with local and national Teen and Suicide hotlines and charities or the whole community banding together for healing, I hope something will come out of this senseless tragedy.

 

Why was the audience applauding? Thats really sick even if he played it only- why applauding to violence?
Those who enjoy watching violence are not humans any more but zombies.

 

Wow, it's pretty fucked up to me how all these teenagers keep committing suicide and the friends always say how the person has mentioned that they were suicidal or depressed before. Why the hell doesn't anyone say anything? If he was my friends I would be up his ass 24/7 and I would tell his/her parents what was going on and if the parents didn't give a shit I would make sure he got help.

 

Who gives a shit? The guy apparently was a drama bitch who wanted to create his final spectacle, hoping to get national attention. Had he known that his cowardly act would have received no attention, he wouldn't have done it in the first place. Fucking crybaby.

 

I wish the thread title was more like: "Audience Unknowingly Applauds 19 yr old's Suicide on Stage".

More accurate and less sensationalistic.

 

Well Said!!!!!

 

His friends did tell his parents and his parents got him into a hospital. But he was released. What most people don't realize is that, in our country, hospitals would rather get you in and out if you're there for a mental health issue so they can use the bed for someone with more physical ailments. It's also incredibly easy to nod your head and say the right things in order to be deemed "no longer a threat to themselves or others" and be sent home. Doesn't mean you're any better than when you walked in the door, (many times you may be worse because you failed in your attempt, you're embarrassed by being in the hospital, etc.) it just means you're free to go. Even if they keep you there long enough to get whatever medication they give you into your system, once they release you, it's up to you to continue the medication.

 

Real Man of Genius.

 

that's really disturbing. i think that some people must suspected or known that it was real.

i am not so sure he was being deliberately selfish and dramatic and that he wasn't just totally bonkers.

 

btw was the guy perfroming "Ohio is for Lovers!?"
