Telling someone that was the right thing to do is giving kudos. There is the possibility the outcome of the phone call may not end up as great as one believes. Then again he may laugh at it and say "you dolt's, why to you have to bring the law to my house?"

Then again he may say thank you for concern.

We may never know

If you say, "I think about killing myself all the time" and "It's the right thing to do" it went a little beyond venting for me. I'm going to reach out personally.

Had an acquaintance post on facebook a few nights ago that his life was over because his baby momma took his kid away from him. He said he was gonna go out with a bang and "look for me on the news". I called his ass up at 1:00 AM. Told him that if he was serious then I would help him find some professional help but if he was just venting that he needed to delete that crap from facebook because all it proved was that the judge made the right decision.

These situations are tough but I'm not going to spectate if somebody needs help. That's definitely not the right thing.

There is a difference between saying hey you are the man for doing that and saying you did the right thing WHEN some posts question whether you should call or not at such a late hour.

Whatever I guess. I didn't think it was so much that you needed to make two references to it and I certainly don't think this is worth arguing about either.

I'm not arguing. I'm simply discussing that things aren't always what we assume them to be. Nobody knows this guys intentions. It very well may have opened a whole new set of problems for him. But as previously stated by another poster. That would be all his fault.

I know but I decided to let somebody who is trained handle it. He'll be getting a knock at the door from the Sheriff Dept in a few minutes. I pray to God everybody is okay.
