Brandon Vedas: Do you know his story?

[Guest Downhome]

I just saw this, and am in shock if it is, pure shock. That website explains everything, and has the chat logs. I was just currious, that's all. If it's true, what should happen, if anything, to those in the chat with him?

old news..saw it on FARK a while ago..

[Guest Downhome]

Figured so, but was it talked about here?

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Um...

 

I don't know..although I would bet that someone posted it...

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

I'm not going to say the dumb fuck deserved it, but the dumb fuck deserved it.

 

No sympathy for the guy, though I feel bad for his family and friends knowing how he died.

[Guest Vitamin X]

......

 

...and that my friends, is irresponsible drug use.

 

stupid, stupid motherfucker.

[Rob E Dangerously 0]

Saw it on Metafilter.

 

The guy was probably overestimating his ability to take lots of drugs

[Guest treble charged]

You can't blame the people who were in the chat with him. Reading the logs, it seems like they just thought he was joking or something.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

I agree TC. It's a mob mentality. I'd probably join in on egging the guy on, more likely because I doubt he was serious about what he was doing.

[Guest subliminal_animal]

That guy was cool.

 

My mom mailed me the article so I could see it. I guess she wants to make sure I don't take drugs or take drugs to impress imaginary friends, but I'm leaning toward she wants me to be the next big front-page celebrity news!

 

I don't want to ask her, though. It should be a surprise to make up for all of the beautiful Christmases I had where gave her pictures of hearts I drew on a looseleaf. Especially since last year, since my pen ran out of blue ink and the closest pens that I assumed would still have ink were downstairs or somewhere. It ran out of black ink, too, beofre the first time I even used it. On the upside, I got a paper cut and at least got to add a little of the correct color to it. On the downside, I have an infectious blood disease.

I read it a while back...I doubt he'd think it was worth impressing his online friends if he knew he was going to die.

[Guest Vitamin X]

as an additional note, I hate how all drug users are immediately "cowards" what the fuck?

 

on the page it talks about how all the people in the chatroom were cowards and they shouldn't be listened to but constantly they were saying he shouldn't go any further there was only one guy who said "you pussy take the methadones" everyone else was seriously concerned about him.

 

fuck the media

[Guest EricMM]

they were cowards because they didn't want to call the police and get involved. They would probably have been implicated in something, but they would have possibly saved his life.

 

At least they would have tried.

Yes it was, that's why he did and is. Goodnighteverybody!
