I hope she didn't do it because of jokes about Kazakhistan

When I was in college I was walking home and across the street from the Flatiron building on 23rd a woman had jumped to her death, I can't put into words what it is to watch something like that happen.

It's like all the air has been sucked out of your lungs and as quickly as it happens it's all in slow motion.

If she was depressed and did kill herself at least she's no longer in pain.

Very sad.

^ It is something that will haunt you. I saw a man put a 22 to his forehead and blow his brains out. It messed with me for years, but now I just have no sympathy for anyone that can do that.

Someone got stabbed to death and died on my shoes. Meh.

Yes it does, I can still see her body hit the pavement, the aftermath of people and the blood stained sidewalk; I remember the muggy unseasonably hot weather 80 degree weather in mid March, what I wearing and the smell in the air and I will never forget it.

I can not imagine seeing what you did - that would no doubt have rattled me.

You remember the strangest things when something like that happens...

I lost a relative to suicide.
That shit is the worst.
Time heals and but you never get any real closure since you never get a fucking answer as to why.

Pretty/attractive or unappealing person, suicide is the ugliest death. There is a dark dark emptiness/void that goes with it when you experience it that never really gets filled.

Me too ... it was a Meh at the end (and my picturing the casual shrug).

I don't feel much sympathy for suicides. It's a choice they make, so many who are killed don't get a choice. A suicide's choice leaves their family with all these heartbroken pieces to reassemble while they simply disappear into the oblivion of nothing.

It's not courageous or tragic or romantic or any of that crap, it's sad people making sad decisions ... pretty or not.

No. I was not actually shocked or anything really myself. Hey it is Grimm!

I remember him telling the story, but I forget the details.

I think it was a druggie or something killed in some drug thing??

Well I think it can be tragic. Many of thes people are seriously mentally ill, and are not thinking clearly or sanely. And for, lets say, a young mother to try and get mental health assistance, not get any help, give up to her pain and misery and kill herself, leaving small children without a mother..yeah I would say that IS tragic.

I totally agree

Children without a mother is indeed tragic, I agree with you there.

A person who is in so much pain and misery that they would rather be dead - well they got what they chose, pain is over. No tragedy there.

They would not rather be dead. They are in so much pain and agony that they just want the pain and suffering to stop, and they cannot think of any other way-because they ARE NOT THINKING CLEARLY. When someone is in so much pain, and they want that pain to end so bad, that suicide seems an actual option?-that IS tragic IMO. YMMV

Grimmlok · June 30th, 2008, 04:19 PM

the meh, was because I got over it. I didn't know the person.

it was at some rave (incidentally the only act of violence i had ever heard of at a rave in Toronto in 6 years, and the incident that killed the scene.. har har).. he was gutted by a pair of 6'4" twins named Chucky and Lucky over some drug deal gone bad

Serious CSI shit right there. Last i heard they were serving 30 years
