He often thinks about murdering other people? The fuck? Am I supposed to feel sorry for this loser?

Suicide is no joke and I feel deeply sorry for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one or has hit the bottom and never received the help they needed. But come on. He's talking about killing people right there.

That's a bit rough. The man sounds ill. Mental illnesses make people think bad, dark things, they're not being themselves. That's where medication and therapy step in to correct that. So yeah, I'd say you should feel sorry for him. I know I do.

I know, and I've known people with serious mental illnesses. It's terrible.

Edit: I do feel sorry for him, I didn't mean to sound so aggressive.

Can't hurt to air on the side of caution here, the countdown is odd and saying he wants someone to listen even if he isn't serious.

Cries for help are by definition attention-seeking.

I love how you are here shitting this thread up by saying how this guy is seeking attention, yet you are the one who obviously wants the attention with your troll comments in such a serious situation.

I wonder if you busted a nut already since a few people quoted you.

I mean for a dude who's going to off himself tomorrow he seems pretty happy

Eh, suicide victims are known to hide their feeling very well. He is doing it in imgur comments, so not many people will know its him without investigating. Especially close friends and family.

It's never good to assume things are OK just because they don't publicly display their sorrows through certain channels. Many quietly suffer until it is too late and no one was the wiser, much as I had to discover several years ago.

I hope this guy can get the help he needs. No one should suffer helplessly and no one should have to suffer losing him.

Well ok since we know it's him should we all like tweet him or something?

Not trolling
 
Good work finding this out, OP. You can never be too careful with these things, I'd also recommend forwarding these links to the site admins and escalate this to law enforcement if they don't reply in a timely manner.

Got a call back from San Diego police, as they had a few questions. They are looking into it right now, and promised to call me with an update.

Doing the right thing. With the whole murder/suicide thing going on right now in this country, it'd be great to get this guy the help he needs.

Awesome work, happy to hear they are taking it seriously. I imagine after Isla Vista people are ready to take this sort of thing more seriously.

Found his FB, San Diego, CA. Hasn't posted stuff there in a while though. EDIT: Nevermind he is actually posting stuff there now. Trying to contact him.
 
Contact site admins, normally they'll call the local police. If it's real you just saved a life, if it's fake you just taught somebody an important lesson.

Remind me to never come here if I ever feel suicidal - the lack of empathy on the part a few of you is rather disgusting. (It's why the suicide watch subreddit is moderated - sadly, some people would be over there shouting 'do it, you attention seeking retard!' if it weren't).

EDIT: and I don't mean all of you - most of you at least realize that suicidal thoughts are a real thing, and that 'attention seeking' isn't a bad thing if it gets people help before they harm themselves or others. But seriously, some people need to at least fake a bit of empathy...

By the looks of this thread, most cared and there was only one
former
member here accusing him for "attention seaking". At least most bad apples don't last long around here.

Luckily we have a place on GAF for those who are depressed and even suicidal, filled with some of the best folks on the internet. Plenty of help discussed there. Tons of ears ready to listen.

If any GAFer is feeling an inkling of such, I'd urge you to seek professional help ASAP. But if you aren't quite comfortable yet with that or just want to start talking out your frustrations to get on the path to a clearer head then please stop by the DepGAF thread.

Thanks for helping out guys, I knew that someone here would know what to do more than myself. Not even the Reddit guys have taken off on it yet, so way to go.

That was exactly why I did this, it seemed win-win to me.

Totally win-win. If nothing else, the local police are aware of the situation and can check in on the person. There isn't much else that can be done.

I'm sure it's nothing, but I wanted to see what you guys thought of it at least? It seems like things like this are online all the time and people never think twice about it, and it just made me sit up and wonder, that's all.

That's what everyone said about the kid in Santa Barbara before he went on his killing spree.
 
A little bit of empathy can go a long way.
If strangers are reaching out to him, checking to see if he's okay, like some GAF members are doing , he's attitude toward people and outlook on life might change .

Hopefully, somehow he can get out of the dark place he's in now.

Just got off the phone with the dispatcher and such. I tried to provide enough information that could describe him, but without an address or phone number it might be a lengthy search to narrow down which Donnie Reisig it is. Lady said they would look into it.
