A friend of mine was found dead. =(

Sorry to seem unsympathetic, but you're in a bad line of work and it's not surprising you'd know someone who was killed. I am sorry for your loss, but it's going to keep happening to you as long as you stay in that job, particularly if you keep treating it like a party. Bad things happen in bad scenes. You are right smack dab in the middle of a bad scene and you treat it like it's all a joke. Bad things will continue happening to you until you grow up. Your mission isn't righteous; you're just high on adventure.

All that said, truly, truly sorry for your loss. I've lost way too many friends at way too young an age and it really is the worst.

 

be safe

 

wow, so much bitterness and self-righteousness packed into one post.

cool that you have perfected life though.

 

The guy is the biggest POS on the board. Too bad that taxi didn't crush his freakish head.

 

At 18 with so much more to accomplish and it just ends so violently... Freaking scary stuff can't imagine what her sister and family are going through right now...

 

It's a good thing you're looking out for her bro, stay positive and justice will be serve.. She probably needs time to herself and her family, some good counseling and therapy sessions and good amount of support from friends like you and she should be on track soon...
Stay safe man, peace....

 

Not the time or place for a post like this. You knew that though. Pathetic

This is what happens when you live a life of crime....

 

Nice. Quoted so everyone can see your Southern hospitality.

Batman speaks the truth in this case. Yes, he can be an a-hole, but playing in the NFL is going to ruin your knees and playing in certain other games is going to usually have consequences too.

 

If mine hit you as negative, I apologize. And I'm sorry for your loss. I hope justice is served.

From my angle, there's no judgment as much as truth. If people didn't kind of like you, they wouldn't be trying to throw a little advice your way. But you're probably right that there's a time and place. And hey, it is your life no doubt!

I do think you'd enjoy the novels of Cormac McCarthy, though they have few female characters, and very little dancing.

 

Whether it's right or wrong, this is the wrong way to go about things in cases like this. Wait a little while and send the person a message through the board. When someone makes a thread about losing someone close to them I don't think it's appropriate to come in on your moral high horse and solicit life advice. That's my opinion though. I realize you weren't responding to me but i just wanted to clarify my stance

 

This thread may have started out about loss, but the guy isn't sitting here talking about how he misses his acquaintance. He's talking about hunting down a murderer...

The whole "This isn't the time or place" argument got thrown out the window once this thread took this bizarre yet interesting turn

 

He found out information on a person and gave it to her sister to turn it over to the police.

 

I hear you and generally agree.

 

wow, what an appropriate place for a lecture

your last sentence saved you from being completely classless

bravo

 

Though his words were harsh under the circumstances, I agree with Batman Jones' message. If I was in the OP's shoes, I think I'd be reevaluating my line of work when something like this happens. Not really for any self-righteous reasons, but simply to avoid the heartache of such tragic events. Perhaps I just didn't grasp in his other thread how awesome his job is. It seemed rather depressing to me.

 

Personally, I don't find his job to be awesome at all. What does that have to do with anything though? I don't disagree with the message being delivered, but there is absoolutely no reason to do it like this. If you would like to offer life advice to someone who is not openly asking for it, do it through the board. What Batman Jones did was come in here and draw attention to himself. It was classles in my opinion. There's no point in derailing a thread about someones personal loss to take a moral stand.

 

obviously he wants the boards' opinion and he hasnt given **** to the cops yet

he was begging for a lecture
