RandomGuy. Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Story will come out later, but it seems obvious that man was desperately unwell. Well yeah, I doubt a mentally stable person walks about with axes and knives then kills themselves, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that Welshbairn, but instead of demonising this guy, we should be asking why he was allowed to get into this mess in the first place? There are mental health laws to prevent this sort of thing. He didn't just get like this overnight surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm fairly sure he didn't slit his throat overnight no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If we didn't laugh at the continuous news cycle of tragic events we'd end up staring in a restaurant window and slitting our throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look up the Scottish Mental Health Act on Google Zen, There's more info in that which will inform you better than random quotes I could give. i'll give this thread a rest I think- this is my day job and it makes me very unhappy that we no longer have enough resources to prevent these things from happening so frequently. You can also read the 'Five year enquiry(s) into homicide and suicide' published by Manchester University which you will also find on Google- Chaired by Prof. Louis Appleby.

Given you lost your shit over a poster on here being suicidal and judging him for that, maybe you should Sarge. You did say you worked with folk who'd been involved with people who died by suicide didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
