Man commits suicide by sliding down face of Hoover dam
I've never understood public suicide. Suicide in itself is immensely selfish, but to involve others in the taking of your own life seems to be the ultimate act of terminal nihlism.
Yes, you took your own life, but you also permanently scarred innocent people who were just out enjoying the day, in this particular case at a national monument. [Warning: disturbing video. Not graphic, but not pleasant.]
This sort of thing makes me equal parts sad and angry.
