"Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange
I think you probably mean "wouldn't" do this. Even so, people like this clearly are pricks. If they don't like their own lives, they should feel free to exit stage right by their own hand - it's the all-inclusive nature of these events that is most troubling. I'm sorry he didn't like his life and concerned that he was overwhelmed by hatred - but the extroverted response is entirely unacceptable. Two young lives snuffed out, just like that because he was grumpy. People want to kill themselves because they think the alternative may be better, fine - just f&6k off and leave everyone else alone. This is the very thing we don't like about jihadis, isn't it?

68 years old, married to a woman 30 years younger, 2 teenage kids, money in the bank.
Then, wife leaves, takes kids. 2 year custody battle results in him paying lots of cash and being banned from seeing his kids, at all, again. No access.
That's a recipe for suicide right there.
Whether he was or wasn't a prick, I don't know. But taking the kids lives before killing himself was a cnuts act. If he did plan it 12 months out, that's a level of planned vindictiveness that I cannot relate to in any way shape or form.
A shame none of all those "professionals" he would have been involved in over the 2 years custody battle recognised he was clearly off the reservation and dangerous.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I read it years ago and it still is frightening to me now. I know David doesn't believe in the concept of evil but he might revisit that if he read the book.Mugwump wrote:Yes, I have. It was very powerful on many levels.
