Train Accident

So I have been reading up on this Metrolink train derailment. It was caused by this guy who wanted to commit suicide but at the last minute decided he did not have the guts to do it. So he left his vehicle on the tracks and walked away. The train slammed into the suv and derailed causing it to hit another train going the opposite way. The death toll is 11 but vcould go higher since there are also 24 people in critical condition.

I guess my feeling are like this ... if you want to commit suicide go jump off a cliff, slash your wrist or something that is not going to get other people hurt. Don't do it by train, suicide by cop, or some other stupid method. These people don't want to die ... they want attention. So 11 people needlessly died just so one guy could get attention ... seems so pointless and a huge waste. I am sure many of those people who died were thinking about all the things they had to do.

Sometimes some people should not have rights that protect them especially when the effects of their action create destruction in the lives of people. This is clearly a case of someone who deserves what they get and now that he is being charged with murder - 11 charges plus maybe murder with special circumstances which could give him the death penalty; I say good - let's fry his ass and give him what he wanted which is to die.
