There's got to be an easier way that doesn't also involve screwing someone else's life. Jumping off a bridge comes to mind.
That is a lot of work going into suicide.... I feel bad for the truck driver, but that young mans family too...
I think the point is that toxicology reports might show it wasn't necessarily suicide, just drunk driving.
That guy should have just sucked on his bikes tailpipe and went sleepy night night. That way the bikes still good and there's no mess to clean up.
Yeah... In all honest not sure which is worse... To drunk to know he was going the wrong way, or doing it on purpose...
A woman tried to do it at the drag strip here. She got in a fight with her boyfriend and said something about ending it. She got on a built 1000 and held the throttle to the stop until she hit the sand trap. She was pretty banged up but pulled through.
People always try to apply rationale to suicides.. but you can't do it. Suicide by its very nature is an irrational act. Suicide is ALWAYS the wrong (permanent) answer to a short-term problem. Really sucks for the truck driver. Good friend of mine is a sheriff here and was involved in a suicide by cop. The hell that guy goes through every day now as a result is awful.
Either way suicide is no solution, his kid has no father and his wife now a widow with all the bills and problems he failed to face.. Its sad....Had a friend do it with a shotgun and I wish I had seen it coming to try and prevent it.
Suicide may seem irrational to those of us that haven't been to a dark enough place to think it's rational! Have a best friend (which is still around btw), that has gone far enough into those dark regions, thought very seriously about ending things, this was during his Cancer treatments. He had a good enough support system to pull him out of it but in his mind at that time, it was a very rational option! And today, although he wouldn't do it, he understands very clearly how someone can get there. The rest of us just won't ever understand that - which is a good thing. Very sad for the Trucker and all the family and friends affected by this.
I was under the impression that he made a generalization about everyone who has ever committed suicide, not just this particular case. Maybe I got confused by words like "ALWAYS"…
:up: Even on the bike, Im sure that he could have run in to something hard with enough force to kill him. It didn't have to be another vehicle.
