‘Cause you were there and you know the whole truth, right? You wade in here telling people to shut up after reading a couple articles about someone you don’t know, and you have the nerve to judge anyone who has a different opinion than yours. Get over yourself.

The article isn’t clear about the order of things. We don’t know if he made that comment before or after she pulled the gun.

I agree with you. Just putting it out there, because the Jezzies are HORRID today over this. They get all pissy if a random gamer emails “kill yourself” to a female reporter - that man should be in jail, argle bargle! But it is totes ok with the Jezzies that this dude told his suicidal/homicidal wife to commit…

It doesn’t help anyone to escalate a situation involving a suicidal person holding a gun and holding hostages. Words matter.

It doesn’t matter how many times she threatened suicide, and it doesn’t matter if this was old hat for this couple. It is never ok to tell a suicidal person to kill themselves. Do you even mental health?

I think that we live in a gun-crazy time with next to zero mental health supports, and everyone should know how to handle crisis situations. We can disagree, that’s ok with me. But I stand by my statement that it is never, ever advisable to anger a shooter in a hostage situation by telling them to kill themselves.…

I am serious. It is never advisable to tell a crazy person with a gun to kill themselves. It only makes them angry. It doesn’t turn out well for anyone. Have you ever heard of police talking down a mass shooter by telling them to kill themselves and save everyone the trouble? Suicide hotlines? Any mental health…

And you do have an idea? Are you the friend quoted in this article?

Any man who says to a clearly mentally ill person that they should “Just shoot yourself. Make it easy on all of us, just shoot yourself” gets zero sympathy from me. I hope he rots in hell too.

All men must dye

THIS. THANK YOU.

I taught social science as a TA and adjunct for 10+ years, and my evals fell into two basic camps: sexual harassment or super bitch. My (male) supervisors joined in the harassment and told me to be flattered, and then told me to stop being a bitch. I hate, HATE academia. HATE.

When everyone is a social justice warrior, and they all get on their soapboxes as often as possible, people like me (as a professor and as a student) who seem to be “openly hostile to discussions of social justice within the classroom” are really just sick to death of every discussion inside AND outside the classroom…

I had an AP Chem teacher in high school whose wife had just left him for a university professor. I was one of two female students in the class. He lectured us about evil women and how much he wanted to fuck the hot PETA protestors at McDonalds instead of teaching us chemistry. He got a lot of chuckles and high fives…

Making mistakes is a fundamental part of learning. If people aren’t allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, they aren’t being educated.

Hell, as a non-parent and a college instructor for 10 years even I know that this is unacceptable behavior. I would never, NEVER treat my adult students this way, and the fact that these teachers are aiming their vitriol at children is just plain abusive.

She is a child. YOU are a fucking idiot.

Thank you so much for this. My dad has suffered from chronic pain for decades due to undiagnosed Crohns that resulted in two major bowel resections, ulcerative colitis, fistulas, fissures, blockages, incontinence, malnutrition, osteoporosis, amputations, and on and on. The guy went from being a hearty blue collar…

THIS. If Sansa marries Robin, they will rule the north and the Vale. When Robin dies, LF marries Sansa and controls the north, Harrenhall, and the Vale.

The kids didn’t even know about Captain America. Their dad was trying to pump them up for super heroes and they were not interested. That’s what I get for playing it cheap and going to a Saturday lunchtime showing. At least there was beer!
