OBVIOUSLY, it wasn't his time to go!Well, now not only is he a depressed and mentally unstable person (I mean sane people don't try and kill themselves), but now he is a depressed and mentally unstable person with two broken legs and won't be able to walk for months.... |

Lives., posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Sep 2 06:49:45 2010. sane people don't try and kill themselvesOrdinarily, you're correct. However, there ARE circumstances in which suicide is a viable, perhaps even sensible, option. These include being a person accused and/or convicted of crimes for which they know there is no hope or possibility of reprieve or parole, those suffering from severe radiation burns and/or sickness, or those who commit "altruistic suicide", that is, sacrifice their own lives for the sake of others. That's a fairly common occurrence among troops in battle and in the police, EMS, or firefighting professions. Severe, permanent negative changes in one's quality of life, or the need to save other people from death are, IMHO, perfectly understandable reasons for suicide. |

Well since you want to bring up extreme cases, I don't think this guy was suffering from severe radiation burns, nor was he trying to kill himself to save someone else, nor was he in battle in armed forces in the middle of Midtown at the time. |

If you knew anything about the two mental distitbities that I mentioned, you would understand my post. The mental pain that the average person w/ those two distibities go though can be pretty bad. Its known that those people w/ those mental sickness have an high rate of suicide. Lord help you if you have an social fuck up in your life, it will stay in your head forever, some people who have it are still bothered by an social eff up that happend in the 90s, and this is 2010! They try to forget about it, but they just can't. Theres other issues but I don't feel like posting about them. |

The only thing I'm worst at than spelling is Math. |

No, this post reveals that you have greater problems than that. And I wasn't criticizing your spelling anyway; if you had understood my reference, you would have known that (I thought it was a typo anyhow). |

Imagine, for example, that you've just been convicted of pedophilia. You face decades behind bars, the obvious target of every inmate and guard in whatever prison you are sent to. During your trial it has become very clear that your life, if you were acquitted, has been utterly and completely destroyed. Even your defense attorney hates you, and he's supposed to be on your side!In prison, you can expect a lide of daily beatings, isolation, and almost constant suffering. Faced with that living hell, who in their right mind would even think of living through it? I admit the above is an extreme example, but I would not second-guess anyone in that situation who commits suicide. |

Dude, these are all extreme cases. Did I have to be SO literal that I have to throw in "most sane people don't trey and kill themselves"?Then you have to come up with the "well people for life in prison, burn victims, military in combat", etc etc, which OBVIOUSLY have nothing to do with this case. |

What's incredible is that he didn't even do much damage to the car. Looks like just a smashed rear window and perhaps a slightly messed up trunk.Considering that he was essentially a 160-190 lb. object crashing unto a small car at 100 mph, this is quite amazing. |

Why would I be convicted if I were not guilty? That's a different situation anyhow; I should be facing the death penalty in such a case, which isn't suicide. |

Innocent people get convicted for murder, let alone pedophilia, from time to time. Why should pedophilia be a capital offense? The punishment those convicted of pedophilia receive is harsher even than that meted out to murderers, as it is...these people get their just desserts in prison, and then some. |
