Suicide is very sad, i was going to commit suicide but my mom called the cops. they came in and got the gun away from me. i owe my life to those police men.

Suicidal people obviously NEED attention, right? What's so bad about needing help? If she was ok, maybe she'd have found a safer, "saner" way to ask for it. And people do reach the end of their rope sometimes. You don't have any way of knowing what her troubles were.

My friend's a police officer and, when I was visiting him, a person held herself hostage. Threatening to kill herself.

But at the last minute she turned her gun on the police officer, who was trying to talk to her, and made him have to shoot her.

I think that's worse than just shooting yourself; like you think they all have no feelings about killing people?

The officer who did it had feelings about it. He took a 3-month break from duty b/c of it.

[FacelessAnimation]

[FoodServe]

SkyLovesHim1 did you not see at the end? How happy she was with her children? And you still ask why they didnt let her kill herself? Are you that naive?

De3ar Matthuss18. In the ABS hmmm as far as i know all your intestines are in there and if they bust you dead speacially if ll you nice poop sqirts all over your organs! But as a non medical professional she couldnt have known that!

But still i think you are right she didnt want to die but thats why we call them suiciders because they are just running away when life gets hard!

I would take pills if i ever would consider to kill myself! does this comment mean i am suicidle!

[SuperCruiser72]

Very touching ending! Is that not good enough to bring this great show back?!?

[bluesinkku]

Ehhh it's not normal no.

[bluesinkku]

LIFE is a permanent problem. Until you die. ^_^

[bluesinkku]

Yah I thought so too, she probably wanted to have a chance in "being saved".

[bluesinkku]

Lol. Watch the whole video before asking this kind of question. ;)
