\"\"<\/p>\n

A few days after the guy open fire in the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, there was a seeming spike in suicides of young males in nearby locations.<\/p>\n

The image on the left was captured this morning from the Boulder Daily Camera’s (newspaper) website.<\/p>\n

  1. This guy was depressed and despondent.\u00a0 As stated, he hung himself from a bridge near where he lived.\u00a0 His girlfriend discovered him the following morning.<\/li>\n
  2. This guy slit his wrists beside the creek, at the mouth of the canyon, just off the bike trail.<\/li>\n
  3. This guy went out the night before to a sporting goods store, bought a rifle and ammunition, and drove up Lefthand Canyon.\u00a0 He left a suicide note in the car, then hiked up a ways and shot himself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The guy in the movie theater killings obviously didn’t have anything left to lose.\u00a0 He may as well have committed suicide, especially since he’s probably going to get the death penalty.<\/p>\n

    It’s interesting that they are all young males between 20 and 24.\u00a0\u00a0 The burning question in my mind, which will never be answered is why? Was it just a coincidence the three suicides occurred withing a few days of the movie theater incident?\u00a0 Or was it a trigger?<\/p>\n

    It seems like a shame.\u00a0\u00a0 Living in this world is getting more difficult for a lot of people.<\/p>\n

    It’s been interesting living up here in the beautiful mountains.\u00a0 A lot of people come up from the city to die here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
