Man takes his life inside a busy Westside McDonald's

My step brother Bill Richardson was sitting at the table across from him. He thought he was going to die and was just praying the man wasn't going to kill everyone there.

this is a horrid tragedy! Nobody knows what was going on in this mans life to make him do this. People who commit suicide feel they are doing a favor to the ones they leave behind that this act will make there problems better! My sister killed herself 4 months ago tomorrow while her husband and kids were in the next room! JUST SHUT UP!! DONT YOU DARE JUDGE ANYONE!!! My prayers are with his family because I know personally how hard it is to have a loved one kill them self. They have a hard road ahead. I also pray for the witnesses, and that they are able to overcome this too.

Fact is the news is no longer free to post the "real" reasons why someone does something. Why? The government. They can and will charges news with crimes if they report why a person did something in order to prevent re occurrences. The news does not get to post both sides of the story just the side the government wants aired.

Next time either one of you two previous posters have a thought... "let it go" !!! NEITHER one of you know anything about this person or what may have driven him to do such a thing. At least he didn't go in there and start shooting everyone in sight!!!! Until you have walked a mile in HIS shoes... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!! My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

This is horrible. Take your life in the privacy of your own home. Don't do something like that in front of innocent people.

I knew eating there was bad 4 your health! Shoulda ordered the "Happy meal"!
