My brother in law was driving home last night, and someone was driving on the wrong side of the road veering towards him, that gave him a real shock but he managed to mount the footpath and swerve away, the driver continued on and smashed into a garage. When my bro in law got there the guy was hollering on about some girl and acting crazy, it turns out he was suicidal and he had to be restrained. So I think he wanted to deliberately crash into something. Just goes to show girl/guy trouble can really make people lose their minds 8O

Got to say possibly killing others during suicide is extremely selfish.

If I were to do it, I would not put others in danger.

Anger isn't a selfish emotion; indeed, it replaces the self.

I feel bad for the guy. I hope everything is well for everyone involved.

Who said anger was involved?

The fact is he was willing to bring others to the grave when he tried to kill himself. That is selfish. I feel for the fact the guy was heartbroken, and that is always really hard.

Whenever i have thought of suicide it does not put others in danger. Then again, sometimes the thinking is not rational in a time of crisis.

Yeah I feel sorry for the guy too, I think when your very distressed you may not give much of a hoot about anything else, still, very few people put others in danger when exiting the world
