> At least this person didn't hurt anyone else
Except
- the ones passing by while or shortly after it happened
- the people looking out of the window and seeing them fall
- paramedics and other rescue staff having to look at them from close up
- the people who have to clean up afterwards
- the ones who have to pass by that spot in future
- ....
And then: Not to forget colleagues, friends and family who lost somebody. Probably now with a feeling of "why didn't I help?"
Sad when people see no other way out than suicide.

That's not what I meant. I meant in the USA there is a culture of shooting a place up when you're depressed. Fortunately that did not happen, that's all I meant. I've had friends kill themselves. I've battled with depression and I've seen someone die in a horrific car accident right in front of me.

School shooters don't fit a single profile. Some of them are well liked and popular like Jaylen Fryberg and the perpetrators of Columbine were bullies themselves rather than being victims of school bullying.

I hate this word and I avoid using it whenever possible, but there's work happening on "postvention" - an intervention after a death by suicide to reduce the risk of death and harm in survivors.
Having a loved one who dies by suicide will increase your own risk of death by suicide.

The people doing jobs more distant from “tech” don't technically work for Facebook or in their offices. At least moderators don't.
