“Randy Budd did not die from a gunshot,” Union County District Attorney D. Peter Johnson told pennlive.com. “He died when those kids threw a rock through his windshield.”
We live in a lost and fallen world. Bad things happen to good people every single day. Suicide is the most cowardly reaction I can imagine.
It’s easy to call it cowardly. Different people react differently to similar situations, it’s part of the human condition. Depression is a monster, if he suffered from that.
Dear Sir
Please be careful with that paintbrush. My husband completed suicide almost two years ago. You have just called the man I spent 40 years with a coward. I wonder how many others saw your callous comment, but were too ashamed to let you know how angry you’ve made them.
I am not ashamed. So step out back with me, kind sir, and I will kick your ass.
Oh, and if you’re of a religious bent, yeah, I’ve got you covered there too. “Judge not, lest you be judged.”
It’s ON!
There are things worse than death...
Anyone who commits suicide must have faced such agony that they thought death preferable to life. I can’t imagine how horrible that must feel, but to judge it as “cowardly” is to miss the point. I think it actually takes great courage — misguided courage, to be sure, and courage better spent fighting to live, but courage all the same.
However, it is a selfish act, and one that ignores, if not abdicates, responsibility for the pain it will leave behind.
With him dead, she may get better care and medical benefits...with him alive he’d have to provide complex care that he may not have had the money or resources to give her...It’s a perverse situation Obama care has thrust our nation into. I think he shouldn’t have killed himself, the help would have come from some place...he may have had lingering depression issues that became unbearable for him with the loss of his wife’s “normal presence and company” that had kept him grounded and stable!
Another jackass braying.
