I saw it and so did my 8 and 10 year old who were home sick. I was actually trying to teach them about running from the police with the car chase and why it is not a smart thing to do, then that. Wow trying to explain that to them was not fun. Thank God they really don't understand what they saw. They know the guy killed himself but they truly do not understand what killing yourself means. Ugh it sucks when one lesson turns into a discussion you were NOT ready to have.

People die and are killed everyday. You need a good taste of reality every now and then.

No shoot 'em up? Good for you! Many young kids are, however.

You don't have to watch people shoot themselves in the head. In fact volunteering to work at a hospice is a much better way to acquaint yourself with death.

Millions of people watch on hundreds of TV channels, two hijacked planes of terrorists flying into buildings. We watched people jumping from the 80th floor. We watched two of the tallest buildings in the world collapse and killing 2800 people ON LIVE TV. No one complains.
A helocopter and a camera person have live coverage, feed is live to TV stations of a car chase, the driver gets out of the car and shoots himself in the head and people are outraged and Shepard Smith apologizes for showing it. Who the hell is he for apologizing for showing something happening live on TV? Should the feed have been cut when the driver got out of the car? took a gun from his waist band? lifted his hand? placed the gun to his head? pulled the trigger?
Are the complainers on here just complaining because it was 'Fox News?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but this man shooting himself saved the tax payers a good chunk of money. Am I wrong?
Correct me if I am wrong once again. If more criminals made this same choice that too would save the tax payers a good chunk of money. Am I wrong?
Who or what my god is, is not the topic of this thread. This man shooting himself and caught on live news is.

Yup the tinman and me are off to see the wizard om the yellow brick road....

One dead flying evil monkey thing down, hoping for more.

Get It, we don't care what criminals do to themselves. When they take themselves out it costs us less, and prevents any possibility people like YOU will get them released forever!

In this way these predators you on the left love so well, will never again be predators.

WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINK EITHER.
