Damn...A lot of people including myself say that mental health is an issue, well this a prime example. It's easy to say we could help people like this but when they go out and are set on doing these things with the intent on dying it's hard to say he could have been helped past this point. It's heartbreaking to watch police having to deal out instant justice even knowing they need help.

As a nurse it pissed me off the way the kid said " I need blood".

Fuck you kid, you got yourself here. This is a shit situation that could have been prevented and he sounds like a sick kid. But that just came across as so fucking entitled to me

This guy was a suicidal, what the guy think, the police will not shoot him with a hunting rifle in his hand?

When people are in an extreme emotional event they lose their rationality.They cant think clearly and act threateningly when they should not.
