Color me skeptical.

Other than terrorists, I generally don't wish anyone ill. That being said, Thompson was a hard man to like. Playing amateur psychologist, this guy had more than a few screws missing...it wasn't just a case of depression.

Suicide is tragic, no matter who is involved. It saddens me that this man went through his entire life in rebellion, then took his life with his family present in the house.

There is also something wrong when human life is so devalued that the family would be okay with it, and then propose his body to be shot out of a cannon.

Depression was the least of Thompson's problems. Years of heavy drug and alcohol abuse would better explain his behavior.

[Manic_Episode]

Alcoholism is suicide on the installment plan.
40 years later he just did it for real.
Not a happy existance, all self inflicted.

[Michael.SF.]

Thompson again hurls himself into relevance. Once again, he did it by glorifying that which polite society abhors...

[Brian Allen]

<< Thompson's suicide should be viewed as tragic result of depression >>

What garbage.

It was the ultimate psychopathologically-infantile gutless coward's way out perpetrated by the ultimate psychopathologically-infantile alcoholic gutless coward.

The low-life piece of **it killed himself as he'd always lived: -- absolutely selfishly and with total disregard for any and every other Human being.

Seems to me Thompsons' "suicide" is proof that the Bible is
inerrant. When the Apostle Paul in his letter to those called to be saints at Rome speaks of those who have rejected God and been given over to a reprobate mind for that( given their hearts desire-having rejected the Truth)
They tend to heap unto themselves that recompense for their
sins that is due. Having rejected God Thompson finally
reached that point when he realized he had Nothing to live for -and No idea how to turn again and seek the face of God.

Wish libs would make up their minds. Did sKerry's loss add to HST's depression or not?
