Wow... that was a little unnerving... was watching a high speed chase on FOX NEWS via a chopper camera when dude got out and shot himself in the head on live TV...

I certainly respect, admire, and at times even envy that choice. I'll bet your mind benefits greatly in many ways... If the few shows I enjoy were all available on Netflix, VUDU, etc. I would certainly consider forgoing the TV myself... or rather TV service, as I don't think I could give up the big screen.

Yeah, definitely cuts down on the paperwork... On the web it was mentioned that the man's condition was as yet unknown... I'm no expert, but having watched it, I'm pretty sure I know his condition.

Just before he ended it, it certainly looked like he was under the influence of something... Probably a 3 day meth binge.

Netflix is all I watch.. I don't think people realize the BS that they are exposed to every day from TV. It really does rot your brain.

We are suppose to mourn the death of a carjacker that lead police on a high speed chase at upwards of 110 MPH? Why should we respect the life of someone who has no respect for the life of others?

I don't know which is the sadder, the guy who took his life or the few of you who have no compassion for people with mental illness. You and yours are exempt for real life issues? You think suicide is F*&^%$ joke?? Really! UNF*&^%$in believable.

I know a few who have committed suicide. It's very sad. But they didn't put other people at risk doing it. I won't lose sleep over this one, and to be honest I'm glad he has no shot of ever moving next door to me.

I have no compassion for someone that carjacks a vehicle, puts the public at serious risk by driving at speeds of upwards of 110MPH and then is too much of coward to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Instead of talking down to us from your high horse, how about answering my question: Why should we respect the life of someone who has no respect for the life of others? Maybe we should start holding candlelight vigils after the deaths of murders and rapists too?

Maybe Goose is not talking down to you.Perhaps you feel that waye due to the fact Goose took the high road and your path was not quite so elevated.If the phrase "2 wrongs don't make a right" ever found a home it would be under your pillow.If that is how you choose to live you will be an angry,little,old guy with any luck.

I only watch the "so called new's for weather and the market.

Nebe I can respect that,I wish I had the will power to do the same,but only for off season football

I too knew some people who have committed suicide,it's the wrong way out of a problem that can has a remedy.

one life or two, its a tragedy. speed, drugs etc. has nothing to do with anything, If a young guy goes out and kills someone in a DUI would it bring you any comfort knowing his life was lost too? Two families are devastated. How shallow we've become to life in general. This has happen twice in my family, the other a suicide 16 yrs old girl. The pain and suffering from the victims (still living) is because they loved. Maybe that whats you lack. And to hear someone like you come on here and say stupid chit paints a pretty good picture on you. or maybe because you typed the first thing on ur mind ur pride is to big to admit it? By no means am i trying to come across as better or holier...simple common sense.

The posts were about this guy and this particular situation. It had nothing to do with anyone else s dealings with suicide. The guy was a Stiiit bag out on parole after a 2 year bid (which should have been longer). A history of numerous violent crimes and weapons charges. This situation had nothing to do with mental illness. From what this guy did to other people I can say the FU with him and sleep well at night. And if anyone on this site knows someone that might rob me, hold me at gun point, shoot at me or put my family at danger and think that's ok then FU too.
