I’m really surprised it’s there to be honest. After all the gun video censorship’s along with every other censorship rules they have, it amazes me they let that remain. Boobs? Banned within minutes. Bullying? Same. Someone committing suicide? Meh, let’s leave it. Btw, the camera man had ice in his veins that day. Not a single shake was given.

Here’s a quick wiki review on who he was....

quote:

Robert Budd Dwyer (November 21, 1939 – January 22, 1987) was the 30th State Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He served from 1971 to 1981 as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate representing the state's 50th district. He then served as the 30th Treasurer of Pennsylvania from January 20, 1981, until his death. On January 22, 1987, Dwyer called a news conference in the Pennsylvania state capital of Harrisburg where he killed himself in front of the gathered reporters, by shooting himself in the mouth with a .357 Magnum revolver.[4] Dwyer's suicide was broadcast later that day to a wide television audience across Pennsylvania.


Btw, I would link the video. It is on YouTube after all, but I don’t think a chicken or the other admins would allow it.

It was televised live as it happened, and it's gone on to become a much-discussed event in contemporary media and politics. It's not just some random guy who livestreamed offing himself a week ago.

There was a news anchor in the Tampa/St Pete area who shot herself on the air. She was doing her bubble headed bleach blonde talking head thing, and then said something like, "And now ... breaking news ... I commit suicide on the air." She then shoots herself. Can't remember her name or why she did it.

Think I'll pass on watching this. Nick Berg getting his head sawed off was enough for me many years ago.

If you know the story of this incident, you really feel for Dwyer. Though he never accepted bribery, he was on a crooked company's "to bribe" list during a bidding process for a contract to organize paying PA citizens back the taxes they'd overpaid. The scheme came to light, and everyone else on the list cut deals with the authorities, leaving Budd standing holding the bag. He killed himself while still technically a state employee, which ensured that his family would receive his life insurance.

And yes, Filter wrote their song about him.

I was amazed at the amount of blood he was pumping out. Amazing.
