SPLAT! What is that, JB O/O? IDK, yeah, it would be traumatic for the driver, but I'd get over it. It wasn't their fault. I've ALWAYS been nervous about people on an overpass, and people who consider suicide, don't care about anyone else or whose life they upset, it's part of the disease.

cowards do this. they ain't got the coconuts to get a gun, or a rope and do themselves off in the woods, or an abandoned building, so they choose to ruin someone else's life as well.
i have no sympathy for the deceased, but a whole lot for the trucker.Dennixx, LoSt_AgAiN, mjd4277 and 10 others Thank this. -

You'd think a bullet to the head would be less painful

You have to remember, Gainesville is the home of UF (duh Gaters)...that college is just as liberal as any in Cali or New England...and are anti-gun. So maybe he didn't own one, or have the money to buy one. Besides, bullets are expensive, jumping off a bridge is free, unless you don't die...
650cat425 Thanks this.
