The poor kid was 20, not the floor. Not same apartment, not even the same wing, nice you made that up.

1401 the Philadelphian.

There have been 3 jumpers in the last 5 years.
That two people offed themselves in the same unit I find creepy.

As for repect for human life;
I find the taking of human life wrong, even if it is your own.

I don't however think that death is the end. Nor do I think the soul is committed to eternal damnation. Rather, the person gets infinite redos until they get it correct.

(Disclaimer: All the info I got was from observation and people in the building)

Default 1401?

I believe your sources are incorrect. 1401 is not the way the units are labeled in the Philadelphian and the last time something like this happened, it was not on that side of the building. I do not believe that there has been/or ever been for that matter, any significantly more of such incidents at the Philadelphian than anywhere else in a building of its size. I saw it happen yesterday and while I do not know the person, the incident is bothering me still today. While you have every right to be obnoxious, I don't think you SHOULD be.

And anyhow, it's a building with over 700 units in it and people of all kinds of experiences and backgrounds have different problems and personal tragedies that don't deserve to be ridiculed on the internet with mean anonymous things said by an anonymous someone. Would you say something like that to the person's family? You can say something snarky but that doesn't make your post any less tacky.

I do agree with the other posters that your post was not tasteful.

I first read about it here, as I suspect everyone else did.

OK, you just circled me around to the beginning of this thread. That's my point. Why isn't this in the paper, on the web, anywhere?

The kid was 23. It was not the same apartment, the women who killed herself 10 years ago lived next door. Do suicides make it in the paper all the time? There's a lot of Inky reporters that live there along with that paparazzi guy and I didn't see it mentioned or photographed. My cousin lives there, and I know why he did it, but I won't be the one to discuss it here. Happy Fathers Day.

The paparazzi guy, me was in NYC. I'm glad I wasn't there, and I would rather exploit a celebrity that tries to convince us to by a hair product, their movie, or vote for their candidate then sell a photo of some poor desperate kid who decides to make a point by killing himself on Father's Day when his parents are on their way to pick him up for dinner.

Yes, we all know life can suck, but unless you know all the details into the person's life, I don't think it's your place to judge. And yes, your statements were judgemental.

I am not necessarily the most politically correct person, myself, but that's why I hope you'll realize that you didn't have to "go there."
Is this person kidding? He must not have read any of my posts, LOL Tenzo you such a insensitive sh*t how can you live with yourself.

Hey what do you call a guy with no arms or legs in a swimming pool? ......BOB!
