Latest Sunshine Skyway Jumper!!! DOA - Page 2

Illswyn · 08-10-2004, 11:45 AM

I don't think anyone is disputing that it's sad that these people bring themselves to such a point, that they end their lives. A life lost is a life lost.

We all have problems to deal with. Some are worse than others, and some deal with them better than the rest. I assume these jumpers have big problems to deal with, and nobody to assure them that it can be worked out. Or maybe it can't. Maybe she had cancer. Or AIDS. Maybe she just lost her husband, son, or daughter in Iraq. Do you know the details? Does it matter?

If you could have, would you have helped her before she got to that point?

I try not to get upset when there's traffic due to an accident. Sure traffic upsets me, but when I find out it's an accident, I sure do calm down. There I am sitting in my cheap old car, getting bad gas mileage, no A/C...but at least I'm alive.

All im tryin to say is that everyone has problems, if you wanna go and take the easy way out then be my guest, but if you're going to make it all public like that then dont expect people to not do shit like make pools and such, its sad, they die, but its their fault, not anyone elses, so im not going to feel sorry for them.

Sometimes it comes out of the blue and noone could help anyone. Aparently none of you have been in that situation. I have and for one look back and don't see how anyone could see it comming. For one why would someone want to talk to someone about their problems when they get this kinda reaction.

It's kinda weird hearing about her through here. She used to be one of the clients at my work. After a little more investigation(reading obits) turns out she was a bible reader, volunteered at Tampa General's Neo-Natal unit, and was a grief counselor at First Baptist Church of Temple Terrace.

Crazy!

evlonedb · 08-10-2004, 07:08 PM

hey anyone remember a little while ago the asswhipe who jumped with his rotti and the dog made it and he died?

There are LOTS of people who go to the Skyway to ATTEMPT suicide. Why? Because all they have to do is jump and yes because they are making a PUBLIC statement. It is a cry for help, as are most suicides.

Usually these people call the crisis center or a loved one and state they are going to jump. Again, a cry for help. The people who truly just want to die are the ones we find several days after they have done the deed.

For some of these people this is not the first attempt at suicide. Usually they go this public because they did not get the attention they were seeking the other times.

I am sure all of you would be shocked at how many suicide attempts Bay area Law Enforcement responds to on a DAILY basis.

The Skyway is only a tiny percentage.

if this shit upsets you DON'T FUCKING READ IT !!!!!!!!!!

DreamRWDSE-R · 08-10-2004, 08:17 PM

It's funny how I thought they kept cops up there to prevent speeding. I was wrong, they keep one cop up there every night to prevent jumpers!! And two on the holidays!!:o
