There is a section society that appears to be detached from the mainstream. They seem to be devoid of guilt, responsibility and morality. Most of these detached people are young people but some are older and should know better.
For most people, egging someone on to kill themselves is despicable � or rather, unimaginable. But for some people it�s nothing more than a �laugh�. Maybe they thought he wouldn�t really do it. Maybe they wanted to see someone expire up close and personal. Who knows?
What I do know is that I�m only 37 years old; I�m not an old fogey. I remember being at school and although we weren�t angels, we never damaged property, never threatened anyone, never stole anything, never swore at an adult, etc.
In my short lifetime I have seen society nose-dive in terms of social responsibility, morality and general adherence to the law.
I am greatly concerned about the society we are living in and I fear for the future.
And Ethel, I share your concern about the police negotiators.
