God have mercy on this man's soul for taking his own life. honestly don't know if he was on parole and or probation but assuming from the self inflicted would to the head he was probably facing some major issues but was it worth taking his life?

mental disability is higher than ever before because of social media everyone sits at home and is on social media and when they get out and have to do chores or do running around or whatnot and they interact with other people if they're not used to interacting toe to toe and think they could do whatever they can do on social media say whatever they want but don't expect to get any reaction in return and when it does happen it's usually not a good reaction because no one is used to reacting beyond social media so we're going to see more and more violent crimes suicides everything else because the most people get out anymore and this doesn't apply to everyone but applies to a lot of people
