Why all the downvotes?
- buboard 7y agoHe worked for facebook, must ve been a bad person
- johannes1234321 7y ago> At least this person didn't hurt anyone else Except - the ones passing by while or shortly after it happened - the people looking out of the window and seeing them fall - paramedics and other rescue staff having to look at them from close up - the people who have to clean up afterwards - the ones who have to pass by that spot in future - .... And then: Not to forget colleagues, friends and family who lost somebody. Probably now with a feeling of "why didn't I help?" Sad when people see no other way out than suicide.
- chrshawkes 7y agoThat's not what I meant. I meant in the USA there is a culture of shooting a place up when you're depressed. Fortunately that did not happen, that's all I meant. I've had friends kill themselves. I've battled with depression and I've seen someone die in a horrific car accident right in front of me.
- DanieI 7y agoSchool shooters don't fit a single profile. Some of them are well liked and popular like Jaylen Fryberg and the perpetrators of Columbine were bullies themselves rather than being victims of school bullying.
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoThe people doing jobs more distant from “tech” don't technically work for Facebook or in their offices. At least moderators don't.
- DanBC 7y agoI hate this word and I avoid using it whenever possible, but there's work happening on "postvention" - an intervention after a death by suicide to reduce the risk of death and harm in survivors. Having a loved one who dies by suicide will increase your own risk of death by suicide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postvention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postvention
