This guy was treated like absolute shite after he died. School kids were making TikTok memes about him, because his suicide video went viral on TikTok and was inserted into algorithms which was seen by mostly kids.


I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this isn't exclusive to veterans. It's definitely a commentary on the callousness that has developed in society post-introduction of social media because so many people can make these criticisms anonymously and without repercussion. Let's be honest, look at some of the shite that's posted on this very website.

He was clearly unhinged and suffered from severe PTSD.


Severe PTSD can absolutely have a strong correlation with SI and attempts. Sometimes there's not enough treatment in the world to stop it either.

One of the reasons I never post for someone to kill themselves on here. You truly don’t know what somebody is going through and it’s not a joke nor funny to throw that out there.

This. Some of the jokes and what people say here is disgusting. I have a very, very fricked up set of humor in real life and wouldn't crack a lot of the jokes that get dropped here. Human beings are desensitized.
