Audience Applauds 19 yr old's Suicide on Stage

it reminds me of christine chubbuck.

 

What are you slabbering about, dicky?

 

"Audience Applauds 19 yr olds’ Suicide on Stage" ..... Wondering if this may have been presented differently in hind sight?
This unwell and deeply disturbed youth took his life in an unexpected way exposing the viewers to such a unexpected spectacle. I’m curious enough about the exact happenings to research if any of the witnesses have shared their insight of this tragedy. Really only the unfortunate who were there are capable of understanding any and all reaction or lack thereof by some I’m sure.(shocked maybe)
I can only imagine (literally) what this experience was like for those that were there…Who knows how anyone responses or what they choose to do in these situations until they are actually in one as it unfolds.

 

hahahahahahahaha mean but i lol'd.

 

he is a dick anyways. i don't feel anything for people who commit suicide, we all have issues

and bringing all those people into it, leaving them with such a nasty image - what a dick.

 

Wow. To me, that just supports my opinion that our culture is obsessed with violence and hatred. So much so, that they actually thought that this guy's REAL misery and violence, was just a show for their sick violent minds.

 

Violence, word or action, is a valid form of performance.
It's a profound tool to say profound things...if done skillfully.

Or I suppose art should never reflect the darker side of our nature and we should just summarily toss it out the window and only do performances about happy shit...

Seriously?

I mean the guy's song was called "Sorry about the mess" With that attitude presented you can hardly blame the audience for taking a moment to figure out what happened. And without having been there or observing the performance, you just don't really know the nuances to even come close to judging that crowd.

Y'all make the crowd sound like he was on the floor for half an hour before before they had their reaction.

I understand the feelings the come up reading something like this and it's natural to look for someone or something to blame - but to lash on a crowd or at the state of humanity is misplaced.

My anger tends to want to fall on the suicider. He made a premeditated choice to violently end himself in a way that would scar many people. He told friends, who told him that was nuts. He told his parents and they acted by hospitalizing him. What's interesting about this fellow, is that his suicide seems less about misery(like a typical suicidal) and more about 'Proving' something, which seems more of a psychopathic act.

Either way, it's all assumptions and conclusion jumping based on a small article that I'm not even sure most of y'all read completely.

 

he could of pulled out a glock30 and took 9 people with him.. be thankful he didnt..

 

Who's going to pay to get the blood cleaned out of the floor? Small businesses have it tough these days.

 

For those who wanted to rip on desensitized humanity. This is more what I think you're talking about - aim your rage here.

 

On the evidence of the post you made prior to the one above, I thought you came across as quite sensible. Now however, I feel your head may be stuck some way up your bottom.

 

I'm not sensible to point out that your trite one-liner is exactly the kind of attitude that these other posters are frustrated with?

Ultimately, most rage is misplaced. So I can understand if you were irked by my "aim here". You are not all of society and so perhaps the collective weight of our rage shouldn't be 'at' you - but on the other hand, if you go spouting inappropriate crap, someone's gonna call you out on it.

If you can't understand how your comment was trite and inappropriate then that's your issue as much as my head placement is mine.

 

too soon man.

 

Real life Black Swan performance.

 

What a dumbass.

Hari-kari requires a second, it doesn't work if you don't have someone to behead you. In fact, the gut stabbing is more ceremonial than injurious.

 

This is a so sad, I feel for the loved ones of their lost son, the people who had to witness the horrible act and of course I feel for that lost soul.

May you rest in peace Kipp Walker.

It's strange to look at his picture. Whenever I look at a picture of someone who has committed suicide, it seems like I can see the "suicide" in their eyes, if that makes sense.

 

mind your own business. the majority of overly emotional teenagers just say stupid things and would never actually kill themselves. then when people take them super seriously they get locked up in a mental hospital.

come on. sending someone to a place that is almost the same as jail because they said some stupid things why angry or sad or not in a good mood?

yeah seriously. this is the person's own choice. I feel bad that he made such a stupid decision but whatever. let a person do what they want. forcing someone in a mental hospital is wrong. freedom is right.

I agree. that is a better title.

what are you talking about? keeping people in longer? some people do not even belong in there in the first place and because of stupid laws they are stuck in there for almost doing nothing. most of these people do not want to be in that piece of crap mental jail house. it is the same thing as going to jail or prison except it is for the mentally ill.

and forcing people on medication? that is seriously messed up.

 

I can't speak for everyone in there and I'm sure there is a high percentage of those who are in there that don't belong there. But several members of family have serious mental health issues and were in these places several times, sometimes willingly othertimes against their will. Every time I had a family member enter treatment, the minimum amount of time they were there was roughly 2 weeks, which is about how long it takes for many medications to get thoroughly absorbed into the bloodstream in a such a manner that if they discontinue their medication, it will still stay in their system for a while. My mother used to get out, take the meds for about a week or so afterwards and then think she was cured because the symptoms were gone and would go off her meds, triggering the whole cycle to start over again. Obviously there are variables like state law, insurance, quality of the center, etc. but in my very personal experience, that's how it was.
