RIP Hitler.

RIP Hitler.

Well, however bad a guy he was, he can't have been all bad - after all, he did kill Hitler.

Did they ever save his brain btw?

Good point M.

How many millions just talked about it, or even a few who feebly tried and failed?

I actually do not think that suicide is in itself necessarily bad.

I do think that the vast majority of people who commit suicide do so for "bad" reasons, and as a society we should in fact takes reasonable steps to avoid most of them.

So you want "society" to enforce your own personal opinions on suicide?  How does "society" do that?

When the press was crowded into the perp's apartment today and acting like jackels, I was sorta hoping the FBI missed a bomb in there.

Just me? Okay.

Yeah, that was about the extent of my response as well...

That's almost exactly what I suspected.  People claim that they are for liberty, but in reality they are for controlling what other people actually do when those other people do "bad" things.

One very good reason for excluding suicides from the gun fatality totals is there are no innocent victims of suicide.

Perhaps not fatalities but there sure as hell can be victims.
