I’m not sure how this is still in the news, so don’t ask me. We already covered the John Winter story awhile back, or rather tbt*’s shit handling of the “He died of SHAME” story. Nice work, guys.

Today I was perusing tbt* again and a Letter to the Editor catches my eye. This one, from Jennifer Lewis of Tampa, is listed under the heading Suicide is a selfish act. Here is a bit of it:

I, too, knew John Winter, albeit several years ago. But we were friends for a long time and he always had the ability to make me smile… While I understand the desire to memorialize him as somebody who loved and cared for so many people, let us not forget the death he chose for himself. We shouldn’t let our grief over his loss get in the way of seeing the truth of suicide and how selfish that act is.

Ouch. Kick a guy when he’s down. Or, rather, dig him up, kick him, then bury him again. The picture of John at right is just for you Jennifer, enjoy!
