Sad.
May he rest in peace and his loved ones someday find healing from their grief.

Oddly, the CDC is the agency that records numbers of US suicides.
The number of suicides increased from 45,979 in 2020 to 47,646 in 2021.

The Military Suicide Prevention figure is alarming.
“A study released in 2022 found that as many as 44 veterans die on average per day from suicide when accounting overlooked causes of death that are aligned with suicidal and self harm behavior, which is 2.4 times greater than the official estimate.”

When a person is depressed--for whatever reason--a bar is the last place to go.

Alcohol is deadly for depressed people. Drugs too.

Exercise is the antidote to depression. It isn't necessarily a cure, but it can help in a big way while you work through the darkness and clouds.

Been there, done that.

I don’t know what it is with Santa Clarita but the craziest things happen there!

It’s such a small city and it is ALWAYS in the news!

I am convinced that no one should go to war who is a product of a broken home. I’m convinced that if you were brought up in a typical school with a typical American education and was taught lies and propaganda and was not taught basic moral and social values, then you have no business going to war.

War will mess up the mind of the most stable and secure individual. So when you take the average teenager today and put him in an Afghanistan environment; It will not end well.

I had a friend from High School that joined the police department in our city after we got back from service (68-70s). A great guy who made homicide detective. Shot himself and left a wife and children. Of all the guys who joined the police from our community he was the best. The rest were assholes and mental defectives.
