It was suicide, and suicides go to hell.

Most people who commit suicide are already in the only hell I believe in.

Are you trolling or do you really believe that? Sure hope it's the former and not the later.

Different beliefs abound relative to suicide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religi...ews_on_suicide

Sorta less in dispute is the hurt and suffering to the family members. Especially where there are children involved.

A good DPD friend of mine out of the Harbor Master Station mentioned to me that somebody [[can't remember if he said male or female) jumped off of the Ambassador Bridge about 2 weeks ago and committed suicide. I looked in the local papers and no mention of it? I guess not all suicides make headlines.

Reporting a suicide would be appropriate, but media celebration [[which is mostly everything on local TV to be sure) is inappropriate and irresponsible.

What makes this suicide news? Well, if its a tourist it might help us share the hazards of our nature to our visitors. Otherwise, its just voyeurism.

It may always be a matter of respect for kin. Yet, the reason all the many suicides at Harvard [[as may be the case at many Ivy League schools)-mostly by Asians-is that they are indeed suppressed. I sadly found this fact [[no Cambridge resident would deny) out living in a state where they go about schooling the way we do about automobiles.

That sounds totally tripped out. Like did the person pull over [[a dangerous situation for others driving across) and jump off? Or did they walk to a section and jump? Or climb up the base railings by the shore sides? Whatever it was must have not been a big issue relative customs or traffic, or it would have been newsworthy, for sure.

Danny has been here for over a decade. If you knew his story, you wouldn't be so upset. Don't get worked up over it....

I don't know his story, but I have no problem with his posts. I enjoy them. He often hits the head -- and sometimes not. Isn't that true of all of us?
