Piers Morgan can’t wait to count this in his latest gun ‘murder’ statistics.

Yes, yet another black life taken with the hands of a black man. Piers will be all over that.

Maybe this is silly but in that photo he has unhappy eyes. There looks to be much sadness there.

Indeed. They are the eyes of some one who seems to have lost all hope. So much pain there.....

Permanent solution to a temporary problem.

So sad. Prayers for the family.

Despair can lead to suicide, even for the unrecognized father that seems to think it’s the remedy for the lost job, financial debt, humiliation, and sense of inadequacy.

I’ve never been suicidal, but financial stress completely sucks.

I really don't like that saying. I see it on almost every suicide thread here.

I'm about 20 years older than this guy, and I've been dealing with things in my head for over 30 years. Does that sound 'temporary'?

I'm still here, holding together, staying in the fight.

A cynic would argue that life is temporary.

That's good to know. I remember when TrappedInLiberalHell offed himself, what, 10 years ago?
In the end the only thing a person truly has is time.

Are you a creative musician, or mostly performance oriented?

A cynic is a pessimist with a sense of humour.

About 4 1/2 years ago, I came DAMN close. Scared me so bad I don’t have to worry about that happening anytime soon.
