Hulk Hogan on Suicide

MSNBC provided a video of Hulk Hogan promoting his new book in which he talks about a near suicide attempt. In his usual eloquent fashion, Hulk describes the divorce after 23 years of marriage and his son's accident for which the boy went to jail for almost killing his passenger, as the major factors which brought him to he point of contemplating suicide with a gun in hand.

The interview reminded me of recent comments by AztecRed. To my several overtures that a suicide attempt is often a mistaken responses to temporary problems and not the true desire of a sound mind, AztecRed had this to say.

It matters not whether they have access to guns or not. If someone really wants to kill themselves, they'll do it.

Of course, the other part of my remarks is that people like this should not have guns. Fortunately Hulk Hogen survived.

By the way, AztecRed runs a wonderful blog of his own with a fascinating name.
