Happened a few days ago in Bend. http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...o_death_after_singing_sorry_for_the_mess.html
It happened in Bend. The British got the story right, AP told this country, and finally the Oregonian got around to reprinting the AP version. Here's the full story from Britain. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...h-stage-open-mic-event.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Maybe the Oregonian should reassign one of its 100 reporters looking for dirt on Zach, Sheed, Miles, Bonzi, etc.
What a selfish prick. If you're going to off yourself, do it in a private place so the only people you damage are the friends and family you leave behind.
Apparently you forgot to disprove my point, that... the British did a full report (good), AP did a small article (mediocre), and the local Oregonian just lazily reprinted AP (terrible, regardless of date). Or did you catch my point at all?
The Oregonian is not a local paper here in Beautiful Central Oregon. I've never seen a vehicle or reporter or cameraman associated with the O in this area, ever. The Bend Bulletin is the only local daily here and they interviewed several of his friends. I'll recap since they charge 50 cents online. He was from Anchorage and very recently migrated here with a group of friends. They say he had talked of this stuff before and they told his parents last month who took him to a hospital. It's not clear if his parents live here or Alaska, or why a suicidal, homeless 19 year old was quickly released/ejected back onto the street with no assistance or supervision. Budget cuts, I suspect. His friends say he was absolutely the best skater in Anchorage. He only started learning to play keyboards a week earlier and apparently only so he could end his life in this manner that he chose.
Your amazingly heartless response to the unimaginable pain and suffering of a bright, very young American is right in line with your greed-driven "every man for himself, survival of the fittest" ideology in politics. I'm surprised your avatar isn't a woman strangling her toddler to death for complaining about a wet diaper.
If the Oregonian is going to call itself the Oregonian, it should beat British papers to reporting on Central Oregon events. The order should have been Bend papers, then Oregonian, then AP, then the British papers reprint AP. It was the reverse, except that the Bend paper was first. (I just like to stick it to the Oregonian, because they worked so thoroughly to ruin our elite team.) Many heartless comments followed articles (I scanned several sources before first posting). I was surprised at how many people think that a suicide should be planned for them, otherwise he's a rude host. Besides, his friends told him that, so he apologized in advance in his song title, "Sorry for the Mess." His parents live in Alaska. He was 14 days younger than my son.
