Nope. Honestly there is probably a high chance he is okay, but I don't see how this invites people to insult him. Suicide is not a joke, and needs to be taken seriously. All these people claiming he is an attention seeker can't help but brag about how little they care in this thread.
What if it's the 10th 'fucked up joke' he's pulled? The 15th? There's got to be some cutoff, right?
No one is forcing you to care. Ignore the thread if you don't wanna hear about it.
Are you doing literally anything to help the guy?
Nobody is asking you to be worried. If you don't care, there is no need to enter this thread.
How about you wait until we know this is a joke before you ask this? Smh
When dealing with someone talking about suicide it's best to take it seriously because the alternative could be you shrugging off someone and that action is what finally pushes them over the edge.
There is nothing I can do other than hope his friends and family help him.
Jesus, no, there isn't. He's clearly got some sort of mental issue and just because he's made some 'fucked up jokes' doesn't mean that we should insult him and ignore him. If anything, his family should've put him under heavy care a long time ago, this has to be at least the third time that the police have to be looking for him. Definetely hoping that this is just one of his 'stunts' and he's actually ok.
It's fucked up, but if it turns out to be a ploy for attention, I think the appropriate thing is to avoid giving him attention when it counts - his YouTube channel.
Exactly.
If they actually gave a fuck, they'd call the cops. Making threads about it, calling attention to it... What's that doing?
They can't keep him there if he doesn't want to, it's not a prison.
This is where I'm at.
This whole song and dance just comes across as if it's disingenuous at this point. Not you specifically, but in general. This thread is about as useful as "thoughts and prayers," and there's a level of voyeurism to it all that bothers me just a little bit more each time it happens again.
Why do you think it is that it always seems to result in bigotry?
It's not prison, they can't detain you indefinitely. If you are no longer in immediate danger of harming yourself and others and you want to leave, you can leave. It's entirely possible that he was at risk of suicide -> went to mental hospital -> was no longer in immediate risk of suicide -> left mental hospital -> became at risk of suicide again some time later. If you've ever had suicidal ideation, it can come and go in waves. May always be at the back of your mind, but events/triggers can cause those feelings to get stronger/more oppressive.
Yeah like there's a video of him from like 5-6 years ago on his "alternative" youtube channel spouting slurs in seemingly fine condition.
Shit, you're right. Hey Blunoise, if you live in NYC, can you do us all a favor and call the NYPD on a dude you've never met and don't know where he lives?
He literally punched a cop last time he was taken in and people ITT are doubting he's actually mentally ill. Cool!
No one is doubting he's mentally ill. We just also think he's a bigot as well.
Not necessarily.
Medical care in the western world is by consent.
