YouTube suicide attempt
YouTube Viewer In New York Leads Central Florida Police To Victim:
Has it really come to this?
A man in Melbourne Florida posted his last will and testament and suicide attempt on YouTube. I say attempt because luckily a viewer from New York saw the video and contacted authorities.
The video, in which the man said that he wanted to kill himself by over dosing on unknown pills, was on YouTube for about five hours when the individual watched it, police said.
Melbourne police said they went to the man’s house and knocked but there was no answer, so officers broke the door down and found the man on the floor unresponsive.
The attemptee is now being treated at a local hospital.
Thanks to LiLO for the link.

Ok No not anyone needs to commit suicide.
Atleast to me the only thing you need to do is fight for the good and end for the bad.
Just Walk Off And Ignore it.

If people had a greater command of their (not there) spelling and punctuation maybe this nation and it’s inhabitants would not be the laughing stock of the world. I see blogs and comments everyday where the spelling and punctuation is terrible. Oh lawdy!

To Ouch1234: Clearly you are in need of English lessons yourself. You wrote “it’s inhabitants”. The possessive is written “its” (no apostrophe). The only time you ever include an apostrophe in the word “it’s” is if it is a contraction of “it is” or “it has”.

I feel for those who commit suicides. They really need to pour out their feelings to loved ones. And hopefully they get the support they need. I tried a few times because i my parents were abusive. I was physically abused my whole childhood life. I understand why some commit suicide. Please parents, try to understand your children. Don’t push them or ignore them. Don’t abuse them. Because when kids commit suicide because of you, you have only yourselves to blame!!

Ok, first off, to the gent criticizing the spelling of others, it’s “its” in your case, not “it’s.”
Second, no one should have walked away. Cry for help much? If you want to be left in peace to kill yourself, don’t broadcast it before the fact on an international, multi-million viewer video site online!
