I guess that was what I thought we would all say.
It's one of those things which, unless your occupation somehow requires knowledge of it, you're better off not knowing the hows and whys of such things.
But, do you all really think a person would do as this person did, just because he was knowledgeable of his own red flags? I'd tend to think not. Rather I'd think this is something to separate from *uicide to even be included in the same sentence w/ it. I do!
I was just thinking we could discuss it afa knowledge of, I guess especially, the difference between hurting oneself, as opposed to hurting others.
They've finished investigating *irg *ech and the governor will be chaning some privacy laws.
I have hurt myself in my past, but never ever have I thought of hurting another person. That's what I mean by 'I'm clueless'.
I saw an emergency Pdoc (never seen b4) and she asked me, 'Do you ever feel like ripping someone's face off?' I got that look on my face like puzzled, insulted, and disgused all at once. I should have told her I 'was' so insulted. Think said 'of course not'. I've been asked are you s or h before, but never w/ such a horrible vivid description. I immediately thought of Anthony Hopkins in S**ence of the **mbs.
Where? Why? How? Is there 'goodness' missing because it was never there, or, did they never have any, I wonder.
I dislike fear keeping me from learning and knowledge, but I agree w/ you as well.
After the violent video games, there were peeps who committed similar acts, I believe.
So this is a issue for doctors and for the crew of 'Criminal Minds' I guess.
Tks for your POV. TV just gives you facts, so you can't get 'a feeling for what was happening in this person's mind'. I think if he'd mentioned an interest in *ol*mbine, right then and there someone should have objected very strongly. But they didn't say to whom he spoke this. I thought to myself it was prob' his parents as it was in high school he had that, well it's an eponym, an actual dx I guess, for when fear keeps you from speaking. Forget what it was called.
The roommate was concerned for his roommate, it sounded like, ... instead of for himself.
I've heard people say 'they snapped' before. The report didn't mention anything like this. I was getting the person acted w/ pre-meditation and so would have had to have been 'rational' in a way, but the mention of *ol*mbine threw me in a diff' direction.
