Rather be dead than sharing showers in prison personally

But I never really understood the easy way out when referring to suicide, you going against your #1 human instinct when you kill yourself shyt not an easy task


As crazy as it sounds, I'd do it too. Problem is we don't know what's on the other side :Hmm_smiley:

OP you should look up on YT on this cat named Big Herc and Prison stories....County and Prison is really fukked up.

I remember interviewing at a women's state prison in AZ for a job running their CSR for outsourcing....I literally saw the Prison Industrial Complex at work and im glad i didn't take the job.

Prison is no place to be so yea.....he did take that easy way out rather than being pressed and alone in jail.

it aint exactly easy but its to be expected if you have nothing left to live for in this world. Imagine, you just know you gonna spend the rest of your days on lock down until you die. Whats the point of even living at that point? People say its the easy way out because theyre frustrated that they couldn't dish out due justice

People automatically think that death is some terrible thing....and life is awesome because at least you re not dead...

It's like when someone is up by 3 points in Madden with 1 mins left and they rage quit after they fumble the ball.

But in the case of committing heinous crimes...especially mass murder, facing your punishment is "worse" than dying...

So for mainstream society...

Life>Death<Punishment....

This. People refer to suicide as cowardly or the easy way out as if it's easy. This thread is talking about shooters but let's look at the everyday person. You gotta have some nerve to say you're gonna kill yourself and mean it.

I take it as people asking why didn't the person shoot it out with police after killing people without the same weaponry as them..

It's considered the easy way out because u r essentially escaping from facing the consequences (and/or responsibilities ) of your actions.

A single parent blows their brains out because they r stressed out by work and taking care io kids.... instead taking care of business... that's weak and complete cowardice....the act of them killing themselves may not be, but the reasoning behind it makes them cowards.

People say suicide by cop is even easier due to the fact that you're forcing someone else to take your life for you
