I remember seeing the thread when it was first going down and thinking he was fucking around (he did it before). Apparently the cops/paramedics kicked his door in on cam and he hadn't moved in 6 hours. Kinda sad, definably not going to egg anyone on ever again if they post a "Ima end it" post, even if I think there just bs'ing.

^^ picture of cops. The position he was in, life I said, didn't change in about 6 hours or so.

Copy from BB : Best summary I've seen ..

"Proper Cliffs

- CandyJunkie creates thread telling Misc. he'll overdose himself again on drugs live on Justin.tv
- CandyJunkie posts the amount of drugs he's going to take
- Mods don't take it seriously because of his past trolling
- People egg him on
- CandyJunkie posts a copied suicide note
- People keep egging him on
- He pops the pills and goes to sleep
- He breathes for a few hours, people think he's going to be alright and keep joking and trash talking on his JTV log.
- Some time later many people realize he was not moving.
- I find his personal details through E-detectivery, I figure out his name and number and location.
- Personal details posted on Misc. I request people to call the cops because I live in India and had no way to make International calls all by myself.
- People tell me he's a troll and nobody calls. Staberella especially is quite a huge cynic and says that he wasn't going to die on that kind of drugs, she insists nothing is going to happen and that people should just gtfo of the thread.
- I send an email to Miami Police on their official email on their website, Email not functioning!
- I call Miami Police from my dad's phone and speak to at least three cops and one person from the 911 line (whatever it is) for over 8 minutes about the situation, the people there do not take the case seriously and tell me to call the sheriff of his county, and give me the sheriff's number even after I told them I was speaking from a different country and that this was an emergency.
- I post the sheriff's number on the Misc. thread
- People tell me to quit worrying and that they're 100% sure its a loop and he's just fraudin'
-jjlee138 (Rep this dude) calls the Broward County Sheriff's office and speaks to them about the situation along with a couple of other people. By the time I called, it turns out 3 people had already called them about it.
- People wait for the cops to bust in on the JTV cam.
- Some people start thinking nobody called the cops, at least 5 more people call the cops, they were told the cops were on it
- 25 minutes after the first call to the cops, the cops bust in. They cover the webcam
- People speculating whether he's dead or not
- At this point of time a lot of people start deleting/editing their posts everywhere. PM me for the original thread content.
- Friends post messages on his myspace worried about him, no response from him.
- His best friend posts a thread on the Misc. and informs the people that he's dead.
- Some people still think its a bluff

RIP Abraham Biggs.

Bulker"

^^ Yep. Sucks.

I really don't think it would have gone the same way it did over there.

The last time it happened on here it didn't go as well as I would have liked.
I worked for a couple years as a hotline counselor and it was upsetting how cold people on this forum treated that guy.
We did have some people here who supported the guy and we did manage to get the guy help, but the amount of people that posted crap like "do it", "quit talking about it", "you deserve to die if you think like that", was really a disgusting look at humanity.


If someone threatens suicide ALWAYS take them seriously. If they are just trying to get attention or faking it , fine. No harm done other than them being embarassed by the cops . The cops don't do much when they get one of these calls anyway. They just go to the home and ask to speak to the person. They don't haul them away to the hospital or anything unless they seriously think there is a problem .If you can't help the situation then the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut. It sickens me when people have to post a negative comment with someone like this . If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, seriously applies here.

That was one of the things that really bothered me. There was this guy from India, seemingly the ONLY person who cared, begging people to call the police. Instead of calling the cops, literally every single person just sits there watching.

What was the name of that phenomenon where you are less likely to take action in larger groups due to the lack of accountability? Whatever it was - this is a prime example.

It is called crowd mentality, where people go along with the crowd even if it conflicts with their own morals. It is what made things like the Nazi rounding up the Jews possible.

People want to belong and if they speak up in a crowd , then they stand out.

I beg to differ. The chans are where the shit that isn't crazy enough for Misc is going.

I'm not proud of it.

I remmeber once back in the AOL chat days when I was 15 ish this chick Allie was on cam talking about how she popped a ton of pills ect ect. I got her address for sending xmas cards a few months beforehand and called the cops in her city. They only took 15minutes or so to show up and she got her stomach pumped. Reading the story it seems alot of people dropped the ball, the forum, the mods, the first emergency personel that were contacted. Seems everyone failed in this one.

Psychologists call it "diffusion of responsibility"

Wow, people suck. Why does respect for human life seem to drop so dramatically online? Why did no one try to help this guy?

i think that the "Misc" should be turned off personally. They have no accountability there. They still think it's funny. It's too bad you can't bistchslap people through the monitor, they pretty much deserve it. The owner though could give a rat's ass, because this kind of publicity only increases traffic to his website. Sad shit.

No different than here with at least 3 people reposting that one chicks pics. If the mods didn't shut the crap down here this place would be a train wreck with all the wannbe 4chan'ers and thugs.

A pic was posted recently of one dude here that runs his mouth a lot with petty threats...dude looks like howdy doody more than anything.

I see 'em all the time. Blue cargo pants and grey cop shirts/sweatshirts (though less often...maybe he was on his way home when he heard the call). Different depts different rules I guess.

Seems like all the police depts near me are wearing more tacticle looking outfits. I'm guessing it a combination of necessity and the popular preference to look cool.

those dudes fucking editing their posts are cowards.

So many do this here...that's a bitch ass move. Say something and stick to it. If you were wrong admit it.

So many here play both sides as compassionate and asshole, if they were in charge I am sure there'd be book burning and martial law.

I do hope that those who were "egging" him on, get busted. Those fuckers deserve every bit of punishment for it.
