Seems like he was a pretty decent guy though.

Seems like he was a pretty decent guy though. Absolutely. Hence, all the more pointless and sad.

Problems or not it's about time some of these zoning committees got a look at the consequences of their decisions.
They're damn lucky he didn't decide to take a few of them with him.

Public suicide (and a messy sort like this) has got to be one of the most anti-social actions one could take.So is the theft of a person's livelihood—which is what had just happened to the guy.

It was quicker and less painful than going through the appeals process. Poor man thought he still lived in a free country.

Bureaucrats treat zoning flippantly even though it controls major aspects of individuals’ homes and businesses.
“What, the sidewalk is across the street rather than on your side of the street?!”
“Well, sorry, but your business can no longer operate there...”
And when the bureaucrats say “No,” the individual is out of luck and options.
Zoning is overrated, anyway. Look at Houston for a counter-example!

"So is the theft of a person's livelihoodwhich is what had just happened to the guy." Sorry. I've known lots of folks who didn't get promotions, got fired, or even had to close doors on their own businesses that they started from scratch.
Suicide wouldn't have solved any of those issues.
Life can hurt sometimes. Things aren't always fair. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and find another way to make a living (people do this all the time, BTW). If you wanna shoot yourself don't make a roomfull of innocent people have to witness it.
To: Sam's Army
Those people in that room were not innocent. Actions have consequences. Push a guy over the line, and you just might have to witness his suicide.
My sympathy is with the dead guy.
