Funny how some people don't understand that there's a difference between something we publish from someone else's Facebook page and what I put up as an original piece. Are you listening Angelina?

Most of these people spell what?
This TRAGIC event has gotten entirely too much press,.,
and too much 'wrong' press.
Sadly, it is exactly what is wrong with our society today,., and particularly the youth,.,
ie. the 'social media generation'.
They have become almost completely desensitized
to real death, real pain and real suffering.
Let this poor soul RIP.
9:17, There are many things today, (at my age) I find hard to swallow but times do change and it is something we must accept.
I will say though, hanging yourself 15 feet from the ground in plain sight to the public was certainly a call for attention.
There are plenty of wooded areas way far away from the public eye this could have been done. Imagine the children that may have possibly gone by and saw this.
I'll repeat what others have said. But it was OK for WBOC, WMDT & the Daily Times to expose the suicides of David Moore's secretary, Donnie Williams and Tony from Tony's Pizza???
I guess a BLACK man's death just doesn't sell enough PAPERS!
9:17-True,especially when he checked out entirely of his own free will.Call me nit picky,but I would like to hear his story,or what there is of it to hear.What drove him to numerous suicide attempts and finally succeeding has me concerned with how many others are out there.
I've known a handful of people to committ suicide,
and I knew Tony (Rt 12 Pizza) myself,
and happened to work nearby, when his suicide occurred.
Very tragic, and unforeseen, as we had seen him a few days earlier, and he seemed the same as always.
Something 'never rang completely true' to me about his death,
but I was not privy to his personal life, nor his personal despair.
I had 'suspicions' when it occurred,
but will not go into that here.
Suicide is something that is never easily understood, and I guess the very nature of it causes much misunderstanding, and high emotions.
As more recent 'high profile' suicides have occurred,
we realize it is a choice,..,
just not a choice WE 'think' we will ever make,.,
but WE just don't know all the factors that motivate the individual that does.
Quite sad.
Joe, I think this has gotten enough coverage. The ugliness that has been spewed has been read and discussed. It is time to take this down. Everyone knows that the DT is a bottom feeder. We don't need to see what comments are made on their site.
I'm not so certain that we have to accept some changes. This blog is good because it accepts anon comments and gives those of us who choose to remain anon a voice.
As far as accepting the change brought about by Facebook, we can effect change by bringing to light when someone posts something outrageous. Political correctness dictates we shouldn't call people out for outrageous behaviour, but time and time again public humiliation has shown to back a person off who engages. Once something is posted on FB it's out there for good, because if it's controversial you can bet many have screenshots of the offense.
For the most part no one belongs on Facebook. All it does is open a hole into your life. If there is one thing you should guard it's your privacy.
10:13, well said. Particularly in relation to Facebook. I got off facebook nearly a year ago due to privacy concerns. Deleted my account.
It turns out, you can't really delete your account. It's apparently still there. I'm told the only way to remove all that stuff is to individually delete each post. Even then, the images will remain. And their protection of images is a joke.
So, I got off. Thankfully, I was old enough and stable enough that I hadn't posted any of the stupid things I did while in college or similar. Can't say the same for some, who may be haunted by stupid stunts for years.
10:02 "Suicide is something that is never easily understood". Not true at all. It means the person only worries about himself, and that they don't have the courage to fight or ask for help. It is a cowardly act for attention that does no one any good.
If they don't want to live, who are you to decide they must stick around and suffer if they are miserable? (with physical illness or mental)
Can't say I agree.
I believe they covered the other suicides because they were successful people and for some unfortunate reason, many people delight in seeing how the "Mighty"have fallen.

That is not true at all. It's not selfish nor is it cowardly. When you are in a dark place and in pain all the time, you just want it to stop.
Selfish is when people want those that are in pain to continue to be in pain no matter what. They don't have a clue what that person is going through.

It's a great thing you aren't a therapist.
Why is anyone talking about race? Some of you folks are animals with no empathy or desire to understand someone's emotional state of mind.
Angelina is a 33yo imbecile. She claims to know english but obviously cannot understand what she reads since she associates peoples comments with 'facts' you posted.
And she supports the Daily Mess so that says a lot also.
You just can't fix stupid.
Joe...you catch alot of crap and I don't always agree with your opinions....but I can say that you are not afraid of being a true journalist...sometimes life is horrific and it is ugly, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be aware of their surroundings and things that happen in their community...thanks for always reporting the truth...
Sex offnder down 900,000 to go
Let the person rest in peace. He no longer will suffer from the anguish and pain of trying to survive..
