I have no idea what goes on in the mind of a suicidal person but damn, AT LEAST keep others out of danger.

For my job, I have gotten a chance to talk to a number of the 'negotiators' that work mostly for the police departments (but some are sheriff, fire or EMS). The level of despair that these people arrive at, and determine that this option is the better one, is really hard to wrap your head around.

Think of your most embarrassing incident, and on THAT same day you got fired, dumped, humiliated, bet $10,000 and lost, got evicted, etc... and multiply that by 100 and you might be somewhere near the ballpark of what goes on in the mind of a suicidal person.
