Suicide Caught on Surveillance Tape Appears Online

Jason writes "Reuters reports (and News.com mirrors) that the video of a man who shot himself after his girlfriend broke up with him has appeared online under the heading of 'Introducing: The Self-Cleansing Housing Projects.' It goes on to say that the police officers receive no training to deal with privacy issues."

    Hopefully these will encourage others to be pro-choice with regards to offing oneself. I think the right to leave is very fundamental.

    Why would police officers get training on dealing with privacy issues? Their job is to capture criminals, not ensure their privacy.

    'Sides, it should be a matter of good taste to not post the tape of someone killing themself on the internet. Afterall, how concerned is he with his privacy now that he is dead.

    Yes I'm sure you'd be glad if your wife/husband/son/daughter/parent got run over by a car and someone put the streaming video on a porn site labelled road kill.

    You'd really be singing a different tune wouldn't you?

    Does it really affect you after you're dead?

    the barrel of a 9 mm handgun into his mouth and
    pulled the trigger in a lobby of a building at the
    Morris Houses after the girl got into the elevator."

    At the risk of appearing flippant, thank you Mr. Lame... err Lane.

    "Faux fur is a celebration of the beauty of animals"

    That's is some mighty fine trolling. What better way to celebrate the beauty of animals by simulating WEARING THEIR SKIN!

    That's right up there with honouring the Jews by wearing S.S. uniforms...

    Overall I gotta admit you do a wonderful job at trolling. Grade A' troll indeed!
