Suicide is a sad thing…this takes it a step further…

South Korean police say a suicidal man jumping to his death killed a 5-year-old girl by falling on her as she walked with her parents outside the apartment building.

A police official said the 39-year-old man died immediately after he jumped Wednesday from the 11th floor of the building in the southeastern port city of Busan. The girl died later from brain damage and broken bones.

Of course not a “Gun Death”, and it seems the “Gun Death” crowd is pushing the BS that guns cause suicide. So much for that!

A lot of these showing up in the “Gun Death”? Files.

Fifteen schoolchildren and a teacher were killed Saturday when their school van caught fire in eastern Punjab Province, rescue and government officials said. Seven other children were injured, two of them critically….“The wiring caught fire when the driver tried to switch from petrol to compressed natural gas,” Mr. Lodhi said in a phone interview. “The gas cylinder did not burst, contrary to earlier reports.”

Of course its Pakistan where vehicle regulation is not the same as here…but its interesting to note that the accident happened at the enervation of the “Green Alternative”.

Still, not a “Gun Death” so no big deal.

There’s a lot of talk these days about mentally ill youth…of course the concentration only goes to them when they use a gun.

For nearly nine months, the people of this small West Virginia town saw the face of missing 16-year-old honors student Skylar Neese everywhere – beaming at them from fliers on utility poles, in gas stations, even at the local tattoo parlor….Police chased numerous leads with no luck. The break finally came when one of Neese’s friends admitted plotting with another girl to kill her – shocking even the investigators working the case.

The two girls were charged with luring the straight-A student at University High School out of her family’s apartment in the middle of the night, stabbing her to death at an agreed-upon moment and hiding her body under branches in a Pennsylvania township about 30 miles away from her house, according to court documents.

The pair – one of whom has now pleaded guilty – had spent time with Neese’s mother after the slaying and even helped with the search.

The cold calculation and brutality of the plot shocked a community already frustrated by the slow pace and secrecy surrounding the case. Investigators have said little since announcing the charges three weeks ago. Court documents offer no insight into the motive.

Hey they didn’t use a gun! GREAT!

I wonder why she was planning to divorce him!

A Foxborough man was arraigned from his hospital bed on Tuesday, accused in a violent beating that left his estranged wife in a coma.

Julie Saltis was in a medically induced coma after police say her husband, Glen, used a weapon to brutally beat her in their Ridge Road home early Monday.

He was in the hospital because he attempted to drown himself after he severely beat his wife.

Unfortunately he didn’t succeed at killing himself, as Massachusett’s Justice System will likely take into account that this isn’t a “Gun Death” and give him a gentle slap on the wrist.
