Man Kills Self Live On Webcam

March 25th 2007 17:19

This is so sad. A father of two hanged himself live on Paltalk while other chatters egged him on.

Kevin Whitrick, 42, took his life after being goaded by dozens of chatroom users from across the world who initially believed he was play acting.

But as they watched in horror, Mr Whitrick climbed onto a chair, smashed through a ceiling and then hanged himself with a piece of rope.

I have to confess I've done that once or twice -- egged people on to commit suicide. It's a way of getting rid of abusive trolls -- instead of engaging in a ridiculous round of insults to try to get them to leave, you just convince them there's no point in living...

Oh no, I'm still okay with doing it. If someone comes into my chatroom and spams the place with twenty "U R all cocksuckers" in capital letters, I think it's ethical to use words to screw with their psychology till they go away.

I don't understand how someone who was supposedly such a "nice person" justified doing this. It's a very selfish and horrible thing to do to those you leave behind..not to mention the poor suckers who were on a site to trade insults and who probably feel like they had a hand in it now.
