BRILLIANT!
I agree - I have seen many family members of suicide victims suffer needlessly, and it's horrible to watch. While I feel compassion for the guy as a human being, I also know that suicide leaves a trail of emotional devastation in its wake.
BTW, the Christian position is that suicide is considered the only "unforgiveable" sin. We have been directed to treat life as precious, and that we are all here for a purpose. To interfere with that is not God's will, and it is the only sin one cannot seek forgiveness for (for obvious reasons). Not a matter of whether you believe this way or not, just clarifying for anyone who wasn't aware.
It's doubtful that any "message" this guy wanted to send will last more than a week in the collective memory of the populace. Truly a waste.
