Select "Ricky Video", pop a beer, and discover why your life really isn't that bad.
Disclaimer: I only watched about 20 minutes of it... I don't know how it ends, but I'm assuming badly.

Eh, made it about three minutes in. I don't need to deal with his issues. No doubt he had a big pile o' shit life. But that he gave in and gave up makes him ordinary and I don't need to learn what an ordinary response is. Doing your best to be strong and work through your past is what makes one exceptional, and thus worth my listening to your reasoning.
I don't judge the guy. Certainly if I were in his position, I might consider the same option. But I guess I don't need his brains splattered all over my monitor for me to recognize that I needn't feel sorry for him or pay him any sort of attention just because he gave up.
I haven't watched the end, but if it ends like I think it does, it will be off the web in no time, or at least confined to P2P.

So... my assumption that it ended badly wasn't that far off.
I was asked if I could burn the video to a CD for someone here who knew him (which is how I found the video). It's a streaming rm, and I don't know of a way to grab it.

Aren't you the guy who was passing around the streaming recorder a few months ago? The one that will fill up your hard drive?

At least he did not film himself pulling his own plug.
Boy, this
REALLY makes me mad. Can't imagine what God really thinks of those who abuse others, especially children, in His name...well, perhaps I could.
Better stop now before I get really steamed.
