Prayer Request R.I.P Gary - Page 3

This was the top story on all news stations in KC at noon.

Gary went to school when he wrote in his journal during english class about what was on his mind. He turned it into his teacher and left school. Sometime before 9:30, Gary sent a few of his close friends a text saying "goodbye."

Gary was a friend of mine during high school and I always enjoyed talking to him. I just don't know why he made this choice.

I would apprechiate all prayers.

R.I.P Gary. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

N.B: when someone's friend who you didn't know has just killed himself, no one who knew him gives a **** what you think about his suicide.

ok guys, yes suicide is a terrible thing and is indeed, the lazy way out. It is selfish and everything, but this guy's buddy just died and I'm just going to say that you should keep the negative thoughts to yourselves and let him mourn his loss without these comments.

He's just asking for prayers.

Farzin · 11-17-2008, 08:57 PM

I apprechiate your responses, especially Phobia's. While his comments may be a little controversial, it's not far from the truth. You name anyone: myself, his friends, teachers, admins, counselers, family, etc. No one saw this coming. When he gave the indication with the "goodbye" text, he already took off.

Once again, I cannot say I feel bad for Gary. Like I said in my first post, my thoughts and prayers go to his family and his friends (who happen to be close friends of mine as well.)

Sorry for your loss Farzin. 17 is a crazy age and your mind works in a weird way and makes you do some not so smart stuff.

Awesome find, Hamas. I am chuckling.

Sorry about your friend, Farzin...

I'm glad you've received my comments in stride, Farzin. They're right. I certainly could have handled it better. Be well. It's gonna be a tough few days.

Hermcock · 11-17-2008, 09:15 PM

Farzin,

You're a front. You don't even eat chelo kebab koobideh.

That aside, I'm sorry that Gary Protzmann took his life.

Gary was a friend of mine during high school and I always enjoyed talking to him.

and that is the important thing. personal kindness is highly under-rated.

My cousin killed himself. It's tough to go through. You don't know what was going on in his head when he decided to make that choice. All you can do is let your loved ones know you love them and be there for your friend's family.

What's with the superfluous apostrophe in "offenses"?

**gblowfish** · 11-17-2008, 09:47 PM

One of my best friends in college hung himself about a month after graduation in his parents attic. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and killed himself that same week of the diagnosis. So sometimes there are things working behind the scenes that we don't fully realize.

I still miss my friend very much, and feel for you, all his other friends and his family.

My girlfriend works with this kids mother. This kids pain is over, but hers has just begun. She is the victim in this act.

I'm with Phil on this one; suicide is a coward's way out. Sucks that a coward just fugged up the lives of many of the people he supposedly "loved."

Farzin, I'm sorry about this....but learn from it, and pass it on to those you will come to know and love. Suicide is, as they say....a permanent solution to a temporary problem. We should teach that before they turn 14-15 yrs old. It might make a difference to educate folks with brutal honesty on this touchy subject.
