I have lost my uncle to suicide, and I still don't fully get it, though I have some understanding for why he did it. That this kid was so completely careless with his life incenses me. But I know that I can't judge about someone I don't know, and cannot truly know the mindstate he was in. So I would never even THINK he deserved to die. And though I know others disagree with me, I find the notion that someone's stupidity makes them deserve death utterly inhuman and despicable. Like Leonis said, we are all stupid sometimes, but none of us deserve to die, and moreover, NONE of us has the right to say someone else deserved to die. Just MHO.
But yes, I am outraged also at how easily this life was lost, and wish the kid would have been smarter.

Well Mel, I concur [img]smile.gif[/img]
And Seraph, thanks for the link. Quite informative as to what happened that night. By the looks of things there were alot more people telling him
not to do it and showing concern than there were those doing the opposite. Some people just don't want to take responsibility for the world around them, sad but true. But fortunately,
most people do.
