BB.com member kills himself on webcam while "friends" cheer him on

this is so depressingly sad

I never get why people unrelated to the person who commits suicide feel the need to point out how weak/selfish yadda yadda it is. I understand that reaction as a bereaved relative. Not as a stranger. People should be so lucky not to know what it's like or understand how it feels to get THAT low.

agreed,
but nef, you and I both know there seems to be no end to people passing judgment on others - especially from behind a keyboard. people cant help but get diarrhea of the mouth (keyboard?) with stuff like this

I know. It's just personal to me, so I couldn't help but comment.

God, I feel like crying. That is someone's son who laid there dying while people mocked his pain. That is almost too much for me to think about. People who feel the need to tell people they are doing it have a glimmer of hope still that someone will say something to make the pain go away or will somehow rescue them.

You know, if that kid had paid for a membership or entered truthful name and address info when he signed up, anyone from admin could have called 911 and saved him.

god bless him and his survivors.

What a long fucking day. Had to deal with pure fucking chaos there. Had the Sun Sentinel contact me and CNN as well. This shit might be headlined anytime. It's getting so much publicity.

yeah, it's been rather crazy over there today. a mix of people feeling remorseful for what they said, others saying "I warned you", others wanting a mod to resign, others being self-righteous assholes even though they don't know the real story (lots of people in this thread are doing the same), and the rest don't give a shit or are glad it happened.

Sadly, 99% of these people don't legitimately care that someone died, they just enjoy the drama that ensued. If anyone on here would like to ask questions as to what really happened, I'll try to answer as best I can.

Just to clear one thing up. CandyJunkie (kid that died) has made similar threads before, so a lot of people thought it was another fake. Also, that suicide note is C&P'ed from a suicide letter site, so that added to people thinking it was fake. When people began to think it was real, lots of people called the police BUT THE POLICE DID NOT BELIEVE THE CALLERS. It was HOURS after the calls started to come in to the police station before they decided to send out someone.

I'm of the opinion the people that frequent other fitness boards aren't that much different than the ones that come here. That could have happened at a lot of boards, including this one.

I disagree. I've seen alot of posts on here where people say how depressed they are and we all seem to crowd around them to lift them up. I don't recall ever seeing anyone on here say 'ya, do it'.

I know that I've felt shitty alot of times in my life. Then I come on here and realize how good I really have it.

Sawastea, do you think they put the site "under maintenance" to keep people from browsing the site to find info on all this? Also, do you think they will close the misc section?
