Not a comment to the thread subject, just a semi-related comment:

Just a few days ago I witnessed a woman receive a phone call that her son had killed himself.  It was one of the most horrifying things that I have ever experienced.  I saw a woman experience the worst moment in her life and I can’t shake it; especially being a parent myself.

My niece's 15 year old brother in law shot and killed himself about six months ago...I've watched the anguish his Mom has gone through, and the torment she's suffering is much, much worse than the torment that drove her son to kill himself.

last week, a friend of mines son killed himself and 3 others in the wee hours of the morning.

He was driving loaded out of his head and crashed the car killing everyojne inside.  It must be even worse knowing that not only is your son dead but that he took others with him.

at one point, someone supposedly had a motion activated deathwatch camera pointed at the bridge.

the stills would be something like.

bird.  bird.  bird.  body.  bird.  bird. bird. body. bird...etc.

i found the reality of it to be pretty sick, but the idea itself conceptually profound.

There are roughly 2 a month over niagara falls.
Some are spotted going over and never found.
Some are not spotted and found in the Whirlpool.
Many uncounted ones are never found, their cars are just left in the parking lot.

I mean they bring up the gay issue that has no bearing or purpose to the article.  It doesn't elaborate at all on it.  Why did they bring it up?

It's ridiculous. Suicidal people will still find a way to kill themselves. The bridge is just a means to that end.

Well, I can't speak for the motivations of the writer, but you will find that (1) SF has a large gay population and (2) gays tend to be on the left (liberal) side of the political equation.  For gays to be against a proposed gun ban is remarkable for those reasons.

"They are being sarcastic and pointing out that people die from many ways. They are essentially using the gun banners logic back against them, not actually calling for the bridge to be closed."

Regarding the gays and guns stuff mentioned earlier.  There is a nation wide group called the "Pink Pistols" that is a pro-gun gay group.  There was an article on them in th SF Chronicle a couple of weeks ago becuase of the SF supervisors plan to ban guns in SF.  Something they, not unsurprisingly, are wholly against.

More power to them.
