Dude threatens to commit suicide on a message board, then streams it live.

It still could have been prevented. I'm not saying the websites or administrators should be held responsible, but if you post empty suicide threads on the internet, you're clearly begging for attention and you've clearly got some issues. Both of these things seem to apply to this guy, and they were ultimately the reason why he killed himself. He had issues that he did not get help with. Now his family and his kid are going to have to pay for it. It's pretty tragic, in my opinion.

EDIT: I watched the video in the first link. WTF is that thing they threw on him? It looked like they were tazing him.

Also, while I don't think the websites or administrators should be held responsible for anything, I do think that something should happen to the people who were egging him on to kill himself. As much as I love the internet and places like /b/ on 4chan, sometimes shit crosses the line, and this is one of those times. Stuff like this is giving the internet a bad reputation.

It has now reached major news outlets.

This is such a fucked up story....

It makes sense that he was bipolar. A lot of bipolar people end up commiting suicide.

Well, if any of you remember when CJ made the backpacking thread he left his phone number. I texted him a few times to see where he was at etc and eventually he was caught fraudin' and he wasn't backpacking anywhere. Well, before he OD'd I guess he had saved my number as well as other members (possibly) and texted us. I didn't say shit on here cuz I've been lurking and hoping it wasn't true and that I wouldn't get invovled. Well I got a call and sure enough, the f*cking authorities called me and want to question me. I told them Idon't know anything and they said that's fine but they just need to ask me questions. Do I HAVE to cooperate? I figure I can just tell them to F*CK OFF and that's that, they can't force me to do this shit...F*CK THEM

After reading about his "myspace" on a couple websites I did some searching and located it:

BTW, it ends up that this guy was bullshitting. See link below. If you can read every post on the page in the link without killing yourself, you're invincible.

Sample:

you are ****ed in the head. You think no-one knew you was whaling? They wouldn't have called you, your story ain't add up for shit learn how to lie better bruh.

Lol, for a second I thought you meant the dead guy was bullshitting. I was like, "epic prank bruh."

I think more people on here should start using brah. Example:

KA, why won't you respond to me in your football thread, brah?

It didn't take much to kill that kid...

I wish the rest of the thread was still available, and I'd like to watch the first part of the video also.
