That could mean he was aware of a cop presence outside and would be willing to give himself up if they met this "demand", but I don't think that's what he meant in this context.

If all it took to end the standoff was to allow him to speak to Autumn on the phone, wouldn't asking the police (that are right outside his door) produce a faster more reliable result than facebook chat?

That's emotional blackmail, for him to put the burden on Autumn to "fix it". I'm willing to bet that he's threatened to kill himself before as a way of preventing her from leaving him. It's manipulative, toxic, and selfish. Coercing her to "call him" to end this standoff is ridiculous, because he just wins again and holds her entire life hostage.

And then there is the phone call at the end where you can hear a woman's voice (who I'm going to assume is Autumn):

Woman: "I have people, constantly antagonizing me..."
Ronnie: "mmhmm acknowledging that was the desired effect....yeah, you want to talk to me now?" I think he wanted her to know he was the cause and things are only going to get worse for her if they dont talk.

Again, that implies that he's been harassing her and manipulating her.

Woman: "....bye." that was a pretty loaded "bye." lol. It sounded more like "Wow....fuck you asshole, good luck..."
Ronnie: "Oh is that the way you're going to be? I guess that's it..."

She bears no responsibility for his actions. It's pretty obvious from her tone that she is sick of his manipulative bullshit.

His body language throughout the video was pretty relaxed, especially near the beginning, he just lounges in the chair like he has all the time in the world. Not at all looking like someone in a typical standoff.

People who have made the decision to kill themselves often become very calm and easygoing in the time leading up to the suicide. They will be gone soon, and any threat of arrest or prison is of no importance because they won't be around.

One thing's for sure though, the motive behind this suicide was revenge.

He's trying to punish the people who he feels have wronged him. But it's his mother who will suffer the most.

A further thought: he complains in the vid that people only express concern or caring for him when he threatens to end his life, but that they didn't give a shit when he was unhappy and asking for help.

We have no way of knowing exactly what kind of help he asked for, or how receptive he was to people's attempts to help him. If he was fixated on getting back together with his ex (for example), then that isn't really the kind of "help" he can get.

Plus, we don't know what he was like to the people in his life. Maybe he was a huge asshole. Maybe he was very difficult to get along with. Maybe he wasn't nearly as good at "management" as he thought he was. But that doesn't mean people would want him to die. Using threats of suicide as a way of coercing people to do what you want is abusive behavior.

Didn't the bible tell us if we killed are self's we go to Hell . Poor sucker that sad still may he rest in peace

I understand that feeling though.. of wanting to kill yourself if someone leaves you and wanting to blackmail them with threats.

My dad did it 2 years ago and didnt puss out. He went thru with it because of a women telling him she cant be with him anymore because of his alcoholism. After she texted him that, he didnt even reply back. He just went out in the back yard and blew his brains out.

Little did I know I was probably icing on the cake too. Right at the exact time he was probably contemplating it, which I had no clue what was going on, I was sending him naked pics of this hot ass girl that was going to come over the next day. I was bragging and joking on him :( .... saying shit like, "bet you're old ass wished you had that coming over tomorrow" couldnt have been worse timing...

Point I'm making here is.. make sure you ask how someone is doing first before you come at them like that. You dont always know what's going on with them at the moment, or what state of mind they are in. RIP Dad

No fucking around, he obviously wanted to do it I don't get the whole live streaming though. Go and hang yourself in the woods for a dog walker to find like a normal person.

I dont get the whole doing it without taking out people who wrong you in life. Guess we both have our ways of doing it.

How's he going to stand before God, isn't it a sin in Christianity to kill yourself? Or is that something else that's been changed to suit one's needs?

St. Peter will have to ID him by dactiloscopy or soul DNA if he ever expects to be let in, because facial recognition software is gonna have a pretty damn hard time to successfully ID his mug.
