He must have hated your smiling face, when he saw you on the street. He must have hated everyone.

You have anger issues. I'll pray for you.

Me? C'mon. I love your smiling face, but he must have hated it.

I know based on the laws of unintended consequences that any future helicopter rides will require passengers to be strapped in like back seat kids.

Feel bad for the pilots. They get "survivor guilt" similar to MetroLink Train Engineers who hit the suicidal on their daily routes. Not to go too far off the subject, but listen / read some of the ML engineers stories of what it's like to hit someone. They know who's serious and who's an accident by the look on their face as the train bears down on the guy on the tracks. Not something that washes out of the memory very easily.

The article was updated after I posted it. His brother said the man had a chronic health problem which was causing him a lot of pain and lost sleep. He was unable to get surgery to fix the problem. He was on Soc Sec & disability. The surgery kept being continually delayed and cancelled. The brother believes he just couldn't take it anymore so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

This is why i believe a death pill should be legalized. there are probably many other like this suffering. It would be nice to walk into a drs offce and call it a day or life.

That's the weak way out.  Go out like a man, like the tibetan monks standing up to the Chinese - self immolation.

Screw that. With my luck is somehow survive and then I'm screwed
