That would make you an idiot, I don't personally care that he died, although I feel sorry for him, but I can see how others would care.

I think it's more fucked up that we've become so desensitized to this shit that watching an actual person die on t.v. doesn't seem bad at all. Not hating at all because I had the same reaction, it's just crazy. We need to separate real life from fictional t.v. shows and movies.

What the hell man?
Why do you even care if he cared about this guy taking his own life? Plus you make it sound like you accomplished a daunting task by saying "I will be the first one to call you a liar".

No one is asking you to care about this guy, and you shouldn't expect others to feel the same way that you do. I "genuinely" hope that most people don't think like your rotten self.

Spare me the sob story. People die. Shit happens. Everyone is just pretending to care because it got caught on live TV this time. If that makes me an inconsiderate ass, then so be it. Why waste time feeling sorry for some carjacking shithead?

I have to say I was pretty surprised when I noticed that nothing flew out the other side of his head. Not saying that I necessarily wanted to see that mans brains but I was expecting it just because that's what tends to happen in the movies.

That's a pretty stupid statement, you don't know why he stole the car, for all we know you might have ended up Doing the same thing.

I'm sure there's a lot of people that think that way, but I wouldn't generalize..
I guess everyone has their own opinion.

No. People die everyday, it's a part of life. But I feel sorry for him that he saw the only option was to end his life.

This. Also I don't think you can say that "everyone is pretending" I doubt most of the people that have voiced their opinions about caring that this man killed him self did it so people on the internet would think they had souls or are some all loving jesus freak (not meant to spark a religious debate)

I think it's pretty horrible when people assume that a suicidal person is just a "fuck up". Obviously they have serious problems but it's not our place to judge them.

do you whiners realize how much more fucked up stuff than this happens every day?

oh that poor crackhead I can't believe they showed him taking his own life of tv!

how many of you mourn when mexican drug dealers are decapitated every day? none, because nobody cares about cartel scum, just like nobody cares about car-jacking base heads blowing their brains out in the desert.

Stealing a car was his choice. Possibly taking crazy drugs was his choice. Killing himself was his choice. Caring about it at all is your choice. Why argue about it?

the thing I don't get about these car chases is why the media helicopters are even allowed to be following them? I didn't even see a single police car. Why was the media allowed to get closer to this guy than the police even could?

A helicopter just adds to the whole stress of the situation and should just not be there (unless its a police heli of course).

I'm not saying this guy wouldn't have done the same thing without a helicopter hovering above him, but we will never know. Maybe he panicked and killed himself, or maybe he planned to all along. Maybe he would have fired at police if they had have caught up to him.

either way whatever happened could be reported after the fact. There is no reason that a news company needs to be interfering with it while it happens.

man you guys fucking bawl your eyes out at any given oppurtunity, this is a great example of natural selection, if you cant keep up in the real world then theres no reason to spread your fucked up geners and create problems for the future. im glad this guy killed himself, he was obviously on some crazy shit and he was obviousy a weak human being that needed to be exterminated.

I don't think people have been desensitized at all. In fact, people have just become bigger and bigger pussies. It was a very short time ago in human history that hangings, beheadings, and burning at the stake were public events that huge crowds turned out for. Now, all of a sudden, someone dying is some horrible event, and we need to send out all kind of apologies and call in counselors because someone was "traumatized"

this isn't that graphic, the worst was the video of the guy falling on the third rail in a subway.  I remember seeing it on barstool sports, i don't even wanna look for it but i remember the guy was just really fucked up and wouldn't let anyone help him up.  He then fell on the rail and starts to just twitch then after about 5-10 seconds smoke starts to come out of his head.  Probably the most stomach turning thing i've ever seen.

I know your signature says not to take anything you say on here seriously, but saying that any human needs to be 'exterminated' is crossing a pretty bold fucking line.

Saw that a couple days ago, thats nothing... I wish I wouldnt get banned if I posted a ton of videos. Specifically theres on where 4 asian guys are pushing a big scaffolding tower, it touches a power line and they all go limp at the same exact time, the next 2 minutes shows them smoking, burning and eventually their flesh catches fire. Idk why but I feel like I have seen basically every gore/death video on the internet. Which is kinda fucked...

1- He was holding the metal the longest, in the video he holds it a long time after the other let go (I know not consciously)
2-You seem him arcing and on fire/smoking
3-Gets shocked again
4-Is on the floor touching the leg of the scaffolding, meaning hes frying
5- Survives

Someone ate their wheaties

No idea, his back touches the top, he falls over
