I lost a stepson to suicide at 28 yrs old.
I raised him for 14 years. His mother, my ex from hell, never allowed him to grow up and he couldn’t deal with life. She protected him from any consequences of his actions including discipline.
Drugs ended up being his escape and demise.
He came to me in spirit immediately after his death, thanking me and we reconciled our differences even though we did not communicate for the previous 13 years as his mother would have disowned him. I told others of his death fromm 500+ miles away several hours before they found his body.
#MeToo
A suicide pact “for the greater good?”
Prayers to his family...He’ll be reunited with his daughter.
Bring on the conspiracy folks.
Yes, media, by all means, let’s keep up the high-profile reporting of this stuff, so that more and more people do it!
Wonder if he is involved in the filthy lawsuit against Remington?
Agreed.
I’ll speculate the senseless murder of one’s child by a psychopath would induce soul-crushing depression.
When a depressed & grieving person obsesses over that senseless act, in context of the overall moral decline of America, with seemingly no turning back & feelings of helplessness to do anything about it, suicide might seem the only escape from overwhelming despair.
I remember Arielle. She was described as a little “firecracker.”
There is a “virtual cemetery” of the Sandy Hook kids on the Find A Grave site.
Probably one for the Parkland kids, too, but I couldn’t bring myself to look.
Good point. It was so wrong for anyone to use or evaluate those grieving parents.
You never get over losing a child.
Amen.
But...but...but...Sandy Hook never happened; just ask some particular FReepers and they’ll tell you. It was a phonied-up story to try to get the public to demand gun control!
This is the time of year....seems like the big school shootings were in March and April. And most of those were grandiose suicide schemes.
April is the cruelest month....
More unusual that it involved people linked by something as specifically statistically selective as a school shooting.

“Something stinks here.”
Agreed. I wonder about the timing. You have this crazy thing down in New Zealand, And now these three ‘suicides.’ The message seems to be ‘Don’t question anything because you might cause a survivor to be offended/commit suicide.’
After the vernal equinox? No.
And then there’s this....

Newtown, like most small towns in Connecticut, are not the blue towns, some of them are red or purple. Newtown is a beautiful town and sensible people live there. Sandy Hook is a wonderful area...
