I've said time and time again that the hard hearted people that spew some of this stuff scare me just as much as the actions of the people they're hating.
It's a question of understanding (or in some cases, misunderstanding), Chris, more than anything. None of us condone her behavior, but we still feel sad that she honestly felt that this was the only option left to her.
I'm not disagreeing with you...at all. I'm actually saying the same thing.
I know...just 'splaining for people who may not understand our position.

Same could be said for the kids that did the shooting at Columbine and the guy that killed the Va Tech students.
Being someone that was picked on A LOT!!! in middle and high school I can understand how cruel people can be to kids that aren't accepted by the school "clones", BUT>>>
That doesn't make me feel bad that they died that day. If they felt that bad they should have just shot themselves without involving anyone else. This is what McNair's girlfriend should have done or better yet maybe should have just slapped herself and said, "That is what you I get for getting involved with a married man!". And then she should have told McNair to go home to his family because she was done being his creeper.
She had PLENTY of choices that didn't end up with ANYONE dead! But she chose the most selfish thing and killed McNair AND herself.
NO SHE GETS NO SYMPHATHY FROM ME!

To each his own but it's this kind of reaction that I think is wrong with a lot of us nowadays. No sympathy towards another person. Who reached out to that girls BEFORE she wanted to kill herself? Who have you or I reached out to that may be on the edge? Everyone is so into themselves and then after an individual who I'm sure showed signs of crying out for help kills themself people wanna act like that person was evil or just crazy.
I'm not trying to make her a victim or take attention from Steve. But, let's try to just be more sensitive to each others needs BEFORE they get to that point.
