Distraught over the re-election of President George W. Bush, a Georgia man traveled to New York City, went to Ground Zero and killed himself with a shotgun blast, police said yesterday.

The suicide victim, Andrew Veal, 25, was discovered just before 8 a.m. yesterday when a worker for the Millennium Hotel looking at Ground Zero from an upper floor saw a man lying atop the concrete structure through which the 1 and 9 subway lines run.

...Veal, a registered Democrat, was despondent over Bush's defeat of Sen. John Kerry. A second source said Veal, who lived in Athens, Ga., and worked for the University of Georgia, was also adamantly opposed to the war in Iraq.

That's sad. Obviously a disturbed young man.

As much as I find your apathy revolting and grounds for neutering, that was a bit of an overreaction...

His liberal friends should have helped him. That's taking it a bit too far.

Sad. I wish he would have realized that his vote did count and that change requires time.

What are you so angry about? This guy was obviously upset about Bush's bogus war and his re-election. That and Bush's re-election this guy would be alive right now. If not for Bush this guy would be alive.

PS

for the poor guy....

I agree. Please don't turn this into a bash-Bush fest, and definitely don't pick on the guy, who's not around to defend himself. He had to be in a pretty frail emotional state in the first place, and the election was obviously the straw that broke the camel's back. It could just as easily have been an argument with a family member, a fender bender, just about anything really.

Infohawk, can it already. :|

Edit: I edited so I wouldn't have to gum up the thread anymore. I singled you out because you kept on and on and no, and they each had one post.

I'm surprised he went to ground zero. I would have expected someone to stop off at either the white house or the Bush ranch and go hunting first.

Can we just lock this thread since it seems to be a steaming pile attracting the flies?

I can't believe how much the mods will tolerate glugglug and his not-so-subtle assassination encouragement.

This is pathetic. Seriously, get yourself a mental exam. Instead of being sad that this guy was disturbed enough to kill himself over the results of an election, you take it as another opportunity for some bashing. What's wrong with you?

Maybe you should say that to the mirror or at least to your bible.

I'm entitled to my opinion. Bush is a but-for cause of this guy's death. If the mods declare this sacred ground I wouldn't comment on this. Given the first two responses calling me out is bogus.

Again,
