Man shot dead in Glamis

I saw a request for a welfare check this morning with a picture of the coach, one response was all that was there and it said, might want to contact the ICSD.

 
Suicide? That really sucks. How can you Rest In Peace after taking your own life? SAD. Peace

 
Can you Rest In Peace after taking your own Life? I heard you go to Hell. That's what the Book I read says. Cowardly way to go. Had one of my best friends take his life May 7th 1982. Still affects me and his family to this day. Wish he was still here. He was a great guy. One problem in life doesn't constitute taking your life. Peace

Cant imagine the desperation and pain that would lead to such an act, Rest In Peace... 
You NEVER know what someone may be going thru..... we judge soo fast and are quick to think we know whats up.....could not be further from the truth. Its a messed up world out there.....a smile and just simple courtesy go a LONG way. 

:poule:

 
@ChEFF, I've read both ways are true.  It's an interpretation thing. And for sure I'm no expert or nothing.  

Here is my take on it...  God is a loving God and wants only for us to spend eternity with him.  He promises that if we accept him as our Lord and God That Jesus goes to prepare a place for us.  It does not say "as long as you don't become depressed due to trauma on the battlefield and you feel this is the only way out".  I can't believe a loving God would do that to us. For goodness sake look what he did for us...  gave His only son that we could spend eternity with Him.....  

I've been in some pretty dark places, but can't even imagine how dark it has to be to go there....  if this is really what happened........  I feel bad for this man's family and friends..   they will get the scars from this, not him. 

I dint want to mention this but there is a very good chance this guy is a Vet.  The suicide rate for Vets is astonishing and alarming, and saddening

The number is 22 per day. Been on the sleeves of our Veterans Day shirts quite a few times. I feel like the number may be even higher now since that study was some time ago. Bad deal regardless.

I Agree. Really Sucks! As @Poule43 says..................a smile and just a simple courtesy goes a long way. That's why you'll get nothing but positive words and a smile from Da chEFF. I don't have the Balls to do it and feel bad for those who do. Peace

 
Saw that Motorhome parked by the telephone pole/monument area when we left on Sunday around 2pm. Sad to hear about this whatever the circumstances were. 

 
Depression is a powerful, evil, place to be. Doesn't matter if you have money or family or fame. It will overtake you and consume you easily. 

What we learn from this is to reach out to friends and family.....that one connection you make, may be a lifeline for another. 

You have no idea what people are dealing with..... just be nice.  It won't cost you anything...there's always time to Go full Rambo on people later. 

Everybody should call a friend and just say hi..... you could make a difference in somebody's life.  

 
Sad situation. Welfare checks are important, don't wait on doing them before it's too late.

Guy should not have been out there alone for sure.

 
depression and tough times can make a guy do crazy things. I can honestly see where a person would think that is the easiest way out. You have to have a strong mental game to battle demons that can sneak in.

 
To go along with what zilla said... for a lot of these folks that have been fighting it a while, it's not the easy way out, it's the only way out they see.  

 
I always say that if I was to go that route, I'd spend every dollar I have 'celebrating' before taking my own life. Poor guy.
