Florida man kills himself because Obama re-elected.

[Tom]

Why is it that there is such a higher concentration of mental illness on the right though?

not to be flippant but, fear, narcissism, and paranoia are components of mental illness; and resistance to change and greed.

Which is conservatism.

Sure be nice if we had some healthcare/drug treatment/mental services for workers down on their luck who let themselves believe the world is out to get them to a level like this.

Tanning salon owner Henry Hamilton died of an apparent self-inflicted drug overdose two days after the election

He was an evil business owner, don't pretend you care.

He didn't kill that, somebody else made that happen.

Florida has by far the filthiest gene pool in the country.

Honestly I don't have much respect for people as a whole who kill themselves, it's literally the most lame narcissistic things you can do as a big dramatic FU to your peoples. Boy, he sure showed Obama, didn't he?

I am a business owner myself, once again you are ignorant.

It's also possible it was his business partner in the tanning salon.

I know spanging can clear some good scratch, but come on, a "job"?

 

[1prophet]

Who should we charge with murder, Rove or Rasmussen?

Charging them with murder is like charging a provocatively dressed woman with incitement to rape, video game makers for violence, rock musicians for suicide, etc.

"When Rodriguez woke Cossey, the man went to check on Hamilton and found him dead in his room next to an empty bottle of the anti-anxiety medication Xanax as well as an empty bottle of Seroquel, a medication used to treat schizophrenia". A Health and Human Resources spokesperson confirmed Hamilton's prescription drug coverage was fully covered under provisions of the Affordable Care Act, "but that any expenses incurred during attempts to revive him would not be covered due to Mr. Hamilton being a complete Jack-ass."

They just elected a bunch of certifiably nuts reps. I think that shows a large number of the mentally ill.

Hey, I know the answer to this one:

this map doesn't suggest that mental illness has a partisan bent, unless I'm not looking at it right..

It sounds like he was gay and a business owner. We don't know what his poilitical affiliation is but it seems liberals are spewing their hate on the assumption that he is conservative / republican. As evidenced by some of the posts here and other places.

Florida man reportedly kills himself over Obama re-election, liberals spew hate
http://www.examiner.com/article/flo...elf-over-obama-re-election-liberals-spew-hate

True to form, some liberals seemed to celebrate the tragic news.

"One less nutcase to worry about," one person wrote at Mediaite.

"Thinning the herd," exclaimed another person.

"Great News," one person wrote at The Root. "Now if more of the bigots and haters would do the same....the world would be a better place."

"If he intentionally killed himself because Obama won, I have zero sympathy for this loser. As if taking your own life wasn't selfish and irrational enough, he did it because he hated a person he's never met? This country has enough hateful headcases. One less is actually our gain," a commenter wrote at The Stir.

"I would like to take up a donation for any other baggers considering this way out. I will donate a box of ammo," one person wrote at the Huffington Post, referring to members of the Tea Party.

 

[zinfamous]

And no one tried to get him help when he was all but telling he was going to kill himself if Obama won?

Would you have taken him seriously?

Did you know the guy?

Henry Hamilton, 64, was discovered dead in his home on Nov. 8 alongside two empty bottles of prescription drugs and a living will on which he'd written "Do not revive! F--- Obama!"

At least he had the balls to do something. He's ten step ahead of the idiots who say they will leave the state or leave the country if the election doesn't go their way then chicken out.
