WILTON MANORS— An uptick in suicides has caught the attention of city officials, who fear they may be dealing with more than a statistical aberration.
"When you look at our numbers, they don't jump out at you," Police Chief Paul O'Connell said. "When you compare it to a population of 11,000 to 12,000 people, that's when you get the real picture of how it impacts a small community."

Is that why Wrangler Jane never had any luck with Wilton?
What ever.
In other news, the sun rose in the east today.
Self destructive people being self destructive.
Nature’s way of taking out the garbage?
the article mentions “marginalized group”
this seems like a scam to obtain money for some non existent problem.
This is like being “surprised” that illegal drug users have a higher death by overdose rate. The pool of subjects already have conditioned emotional behaviors with more “id” properties.
Perhaps the officials and that newspaper are more worried about the fact that their readership / tax base will die with no replacement.
The article is a total joke, there is no possible statistical significance attributable to the occurrence of 4 or 5 or even 10 instances per year of anything in a population of only 11 or 12 thousand.
The News-Sun Sentinel has thrown all standards of objectivity totally overboard. It’s like they asked their latest gay-bi, affirmative-action-hire reporter “Would you like to write an article in which you could basically make stuff up?”
Of course, the answer was yes, and that’s what they got, no contrary views or refutation need be included. Go for it! Propagate some more goofy garbage! It’s what we do!
I lived in Wilton Manors 25 years ago (I was running a business and WM had some convenient zoning ordinances.) It’s a tiny fiefdom in the Ft. Lauderdale scheme of things, WM being maybe 1 or 2% of the FTL whole, which is comprised of dozens of fiefdoms, many much smaller than WM.
I never noticed anything odd about the residents of WM one way or the other, nor did I care, I was too busy doing business.
The News-Sun Sentinel has always been a joke, it’s just gotten progressively worse as time has gone on. This one makes me wonder what they’ll try next.
In my opinion homosexuality, suicide and drug abuse are all symptoms of the same mental illness. It is easy to see, too bad our medical community isn’t allow to research and treat the underlying condition.
Darwin’s law. You wonder how that “gene” gets passed on.
Which mental illness is that?
I thought Key West was the homosexual capitol of south Florida; it was swarming with them!
It's called Not Being Like Me.
