How would NYSpeed handle this? v. someone about to kill themselves

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081121/ap_on_re_us/webcam_suicide

half the people on a body building forum told this kid to off himself while the other half tried to help him. All done on webcam.

Well repost… but I like the question posed in this title… really makes you think… Im glad nobody on this site took this strategy, because it would not go past page one before said person did themselves in.

On nyspeed it would definitely depend on the OP.

One of the sack riding crew would get offers for help.

Anyone from the “who should we ban” thread… ugh… 20+ pages of “just do it”? :lol:

truth

Considering this is only statewide and not nationwide, and just about everyone has atleast 1 friend on here in real life it would be a lot easier to help someone if they tried to kill themselves

i like turtles

I appreciate a nice club sandwich from time to time.

is just karter ok?

Eh I killed myself before. It didn’t work. Fucking immortality :frowning:

if people were egging him on… they should go to jail

Especially since he was bi polar

If somebody told you to jump off a bridge… Would that someone goto jail because you jumped?

Ah yes because his medical history is publicly available, or because you should do what ANYONE especially someone on the internet tells you to do. :banghead: Honestly if someone on here posted they were going to kill themselves, I probably wouldn’t take it seriously either.

I’m not a suicide risk, well unless I eat myself to death.
I love life, fast cars, fast food, fast women its a trip.

Such a shitty story… some people just need to put trying to be funny aside and help people like this out

If you read the thread when it was open, several people did try contacting authorities but keep being re-directed and could not get through. I only made it to maybe page 6 and that was happening while the thread went on for 60 pages. For that website to say everyone sat and watched is bullshit.

^Word, I am sure it took time, and by all means I am sure some people tried, but its the people that didn’t try that made the big difference

Stop that. Stop. Oh wait you thrive off the attention. I forgots.

Eh. I had a wakeup call about suicidal people recently. I wouldn’t hesitate to do anything within or beyond my power to help someone in such a shit mental position. Sometimes it just takes knowing that someone gives a fuck to turn it all around.

also, help them out and you’ve got yourself a damn good friend who’d do anything for you in return, and completely looks up to you and thanks you daily. can’t really put a price on that.
