Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.


Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.

1. No suicide note was found, yet people are sure it was a protest

Yeah, right.

Has anyone considered the possibility the man was suffering from clinical depression? That and chronic physical health problems are the real reasons behind most suicides.

BTW he broke several laws by taking that shotgun into NYC and firing it in the city.

3. You can suffer from depression and kill yourself over the election

Those things are not mutually exclusive.
Or you can kill yourself over the election because of the depression caused by the election.

2. I'm sorry, but there

had to be more going on than the election for the guy...

I'm from a red state, it sucks, and I'm not going to give up. Period.

4. that's sick. why would you think this man's suicide would make anyone

here happy? Please try to express your unhappiness--with red states' being blamed for the election--in a more thoughtful way!!!!
