That is a comment of a weak mind. If it is the automatic human response to save someone, to help someone in pain, then that should be praised, as we so often have proved ourselves to be cruel creatures.
Do not degrade of compassion.

I read somewhere maybe king 5?? that right after a student was leaning over the man praying. Did anyone witness this?

this is probably a religiously motivated law, as ending your own life is considered a sin.

It is impossible for me to imagine the despair and desperation this man must have been feeling... people here are saying he must have been crazy, but what drove him to those ends?
I am a UW student and i feel like that this event was just a bump in the road. People here (including me) are so caught up in their own lives and ambitions that they don't take the time to consider what may have driven someone to this extreme. Was he political? a miss treated immigrant? a lonely man? Religious?
Even if his purpose was not something that i would agree with, i still just hope his message will be heard. I would hate for him to have died in vain.
How many times does something like this need to happen before people look up and notice?
we need to learn SOMETHING from this. Maybe that is all he wanted.

I am worried about this world.
