Thing is, he doesn't even have to know anything about mental illness to be thankful for what y'all did for his family and friends.

Exactly. I would say most have never truly been low enough to even seriously consider doing something like that, but I guarantee no one makes that decision lightly. Couple that with mental illness and it becomes a really sad situation. Good to see most people on here have shown a lot of empathy and understand that he reached a point in his life where he truly felt that he was alone and could not go on. Great job by everyone to intervene and let him know that he is not alone, even if it's a bunch of strangers. As for the handful of the idiots, you should be ashamed of yourselves for your actions in mocking and shaming someone that was so desperate. Hopefully, you will be shown more compassion at your worst than you have been willing to show.


Great job by Chicken, Jefferson, et al for jumping into action. Makes me proud to be a Dawg, but more importantly I am proud that so many were willing to do what it took to save the life of a complete stranger. It does restore faith in fellow man. As for houndstooth, please ignore his inane comments. Hopefully, he can find some empathy and compassion.
