Suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please...*

*"The song was written specifically for Ken Prymus, the actor playing Private Seidman, who sang it during the faux-suicide of Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski (John Schuck) in the film's "Last Supper" scene. Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for Mandel: it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless" and it had to be the "stupidest song ever written". Robert Altman, the director of the original film, attempted to write the lyrics himself, but upon finding it too difficult for his 45-year-old brain to write "stupid enough," he gave the task to his 14-year-old-son Michael, who wrote the lyrics in five minutes."

Sad. RIP.

She shot herself in the head according to a couple of articles I’ve seen.

I guarantee that she was on anti-depressants that have suicide as a side effect.

I have heard of this, and I think you may be right.

[cornfedcowboy]

Just guessing but would assume she has been showing signs of PTSD for some time. Such a horrific event. I can understand that witnessing the shooting can really set you back mentally.

”Do they know what they want or not?”

They know exactly what they want... power! And they’ll say and/or do anything to get/keep it.

[bigbob]

Very true, as everyone who has been touched by suicide will agree.

Just a sad situation.

Idiot

What took you so long?

Love the passive headline. Like she had no part, it just happened to her. Must be the NRA’s fault.

God bless you, and yours.

My gosh, looking at the photo is there any wonder?

Do a search on school shootings and you will see, SO FAR, I believe, they were ALL taking SSRI's or trying to get off of them. I've seen the effects of these drugs personally. Some if not many, have real trouble with them, like heroin trouble. They have to "dry out" with someone watching them. Doctors will say you have to take them all your life. Others will change drugs and have mental breakdowns. It's a real thing. These drugs can change your brain chemistry and have arbitrary side effects.

I had a neighbor that cried all the time and was always depressed. He took them for awhile and was like a "Stepford" wife. Nothing made any emotion in him. He decided to cut the dose in half. The next thing we know he walking down the street naked and gets arrested. Never been arrested before.

Over 40 million patients take SSRI's today. What if the government controlled them like they do opioids? The whole country would be on it's knees.

One question,....How many WWII and Korean Vets killed themselves vs today where you get SSRI's just by saying you wore the uniform? A percentage would say a lot.

I just cant believe they have the balls to set up a gofundme for her memorial.

I mean what the hell.

I think the best thing would have been to send her off to a very nice boarding school. (They do still have those don’t they?)

My husband of 43 years died 3 years ago and I still ‘feel him’ if I go into the tool shed or his shop. I can not imagine how it is for those children to have to attend school at the site of the murder spree. The school should be bulldozed and a new one constructed on another site. It is like requiring PTSD service member to work and stay in a war zone. Just my opinion, I am very sorry for her family & friends.
