My last post to the paper
Had to make one last post on their page. Shame the kid killed himself but Stupid is just that. I do feel for his family.
Seems as though a lot want to feel "sorry" for the kid. I do feel sorry for the parents. The kid(?) lost his life and the parents lost part of their family to a stupid act. In this politically correct age we want to blame everything on something other than the truth. Felicia above said she went to school with this boy and he was a "good" friend. I'm even sorry for her loss of a friend. But if this boy/man had been taught about guns and sharp instruments like knives when he was a kid he certainly wasn't in class during the teaching. I grew up around those things and boy, I knew at the age of 3 not to put a gun to your head or go waving a knife around and to leave dangerous things alone. Putting the gun to his head was ridiculous...pulling the trigger was stupid. And to do all those things as a lark...and ending up killing himself was tragic...but still STUPID. Yeah, I know I seem a little cold about this but after seeing some of the stupid things I saw while working as a paramedic and firefighter, calling a spade a spade...and not a heart... is part of the territory!
