In the report I read, it said the crowd cheered when they thought it was simply a “performance”, then became “horrified” when they found out it was real.
If you are cold enough to cheer the “fake” suicide of a young man, then at least have the ballz to cheer the real thing.

Grizzly Man.. that was awesome.. some nature nut thinking he was one with the bears and as Ron White said he became one steaming pile of bear sh—

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Unassisted suicide certainly beats doctor assisted “suicide”

Ha ha ha...and his dad said “you’ll never amount to sh!t”.

“Well you’re wrong Papa...”

Tough act to follow too.

Nearly 15 people might constitute a crowd if you are in a phone booth, or the rest room of a fast food joint, but not really anywhere else.

15 people is a crowd in a beatnik coffee house.

First thing I thought of.

It appears the kid could have used better friends, being as how this one "saw it coming" but did nothing.

I didn't see that in the article. I have found that more times than not when people DO report that someone may hurt himself or others, the person reporting it gets poo-pooed and told he or she is exaggerating. Sad, but true.

What lyrics is that? I’m guessing Kurt Cobain (or whatever his name was)?

[I Buried My Guns]

"Who’s the dude with Foxy Brown?"

That is Timothy Snackwell.

Sadly, as public awareness of the Snackwells line of products fades into the mists of time, my joke gets less and less funny.

Proving once again that at some point God shook the continent by the Mississippi River, and the fruits and nuts rolled all the way to both coasts, with Oregon catching more than their fair share...

Open mics kill people. Close ‘em!

What an attention whore. Probably figured he’d be famous for doing this. However, that dying thing got in the way.

I guess the reason some people commit suicide is because they think the world is filled with only cruel, heartless, b_stards. Wonder why anyone would think that?

[PzLdr]

Depends. One of them may have been an earlier evolutionary Hominid, say a Neanderthal. Or, a Sasquatch. Or, to avoid PC problems, the phrase may have covered a little person at the show.

What I find most interesting was the juxtaposition of the number ‘15’ with the word ‘crowd’. Where was this show? A phone booth?
