Thank you. I have sent an email to the admin moderator to remove that post. Again, FReepers... I didn’t structure the sentence correctly. My point was that horrible thoughts and ideas must have been in their minds before they HAD to jump. I fully understand that they could either burn slowly and die or jump and die.
Don’t worry about it. There are some people who live to attack other posters. I’m a good Catholic and I knew perfectly well what you meant.
The most horrible picture that sticks in my mind, actually, is that photo of all the people leaning out or standing in the windows, taking off pieces of their clothing to escape the heat or the flames, or just trying to breathe. I guess most of them either jumped or died horribly in some other way. It is just such a terrible thought that they were there chatting with their coworkers at their desks at one moment and then the next they were realizing that they were all going to die together, and nobody could help them.
I'll put it starkly like this:
A person is in a high building and an arsonist or terrorist sets the building on fire. He has no way out and the fire is coming at him. He can run into the fire - suicide - or he can jump to his death - suicide. Since there was no real choice that would result in survival, neither choice was suicide. The person was murdered.
The jumpers were all murdered.
Stop beating yourself up. You said nothing wrong. :-)
Nonsense. There was nothing wrong with the “structure”. Some people are just too obtuse and/or hypersensitive.
I noticed you were taking quite a beating about your post. The fastest way to have it removed, is to hit the "Report Abuse" button and explain to the mods. It will be gone much quicker.
