White suicide is the least talked about epidemic in this country, yet it seems to not matter because people are more concerned with gang bangers taking out other gang bangers in chicago. I don't get it.
There are roughly 43,000 suicides in this country every year, and we commit 70% of them. This has to end.
Depression has no desire to lose any of its victims. Matters not the color of the skin, we all suffer from even one lost to depression.
Reminds me of the woman who (Supposedly) called the NRA to discuss how they would deal with suicide. I didn't read much, but the funny thing is, it's like someone calling GM and asking what they intend to do about people driving off cliffs? Into other traffic, or how about the drug pushers for selling heroin that was too potent....
I will never understand white male depression due to getting older:
I literally did not start really living my life until I was 35 and despite spending the prior decade and a half being 'younger', I was an idiot when I was younger.
With age comes more money, life experience and the wisdom to enjoy it more rationally.
Say what? Just because we get older, doesn't mean we make more... Life experience? Yep stay in school kids, learn a trade. Wisdom? Yeah, give me a gun so I can end this miserable life....No, I'm leaving by myself, ain't no one coming with me!
But the easiest way to stop them would be to ban guns or have well funded free mental helth care, and you've seen how well those attempts go down.
Our better yet, allow assisted suicide, especially in cases to prevent suffering long drawn out battles with cancer. I had a family friend die of their battle with PLS becoming ALS over the span of about ten years. She went from full of life to being a shell of her former self.

Suicide is a basic human right that no government has ever managed to prevent. You should not disrespect the people who make that choice. Murder victims don't have a choice. Suicides do.

Suicide is voluntary and an obvious right. If a person doesn't own his body, who does? The government?
They would rather focus a small group of blacks killing in poverty stricken communities than take a look at problems like mass shootings in schools, churches, movie theaters and other public places.
The normal definition of mass shooting is 4 or more victims, per capita blacks are over represented in this category of crime of too. It's not some crazy number like the murder rates but nonetheless it's still a higher rate than whites.
It's not a problem yet because it hasn't hit big money get. I don't think many people who commit suicide have high amounts of life insurance. Once the life companies start paying out things will change.
After having a policy for two years they will payout for suicide. Before two years no. Always follow the money.
