...this is what is wrong with the JT "censorship". Just look at some of the comments in this horribly tragic story. First off, it should not have even been put in the newspaper. To me it's disrespectful in this circumstance and makes me sick. Second, to allow the comments that some of the "bloggers" have made just proves once again that the JT has selective censorship.

Do you think suicides should become a story in the newspaper?

"Well as far as i know this man deserved what he did! He supposedly had molested one of his step daughters. Now i personally would of rather had him rot in jail then take the easy way out. Anyone that would rather take their life than pay for what they have done is a coward. To the girls i hope you recover from this horrible thing he has done to you. You girls are too sweet to have to deal with this stuff. Keep your head up!!"
Maybe this is true, I don't know, BUT for the JT to allow this type of "speculative" or "rumor" comment and to even point this out if it is true to me is worse than swearing or name calling on the blogs.
I was surprised to see this story yesterday. I was under the impression that it was policy not to publish stories about suicides. I may have been wrong, or the policy may have changed - that seems to happen often these days.
I read about 10 comments and had to stop. I am soooo glad to be away from that site... Yea, orbs was deleted. What a joke. That was not the reason I left. It was journalism like this very article and their allowing of posts that are downright sensationalism and outright disgusting.
kc, I agree, they should have shut that down immediately...No, they never should have published that story to begin with; they should have known better.
KC, if you hate the JT soooo much, stop being a fucking hypocrite and stop going there. You are a fucking moron who wants to complain about everything. If you don't like what the JT is doing, stop going to the site, or shut the FUCK up!!!
anonymous, if you hate the JT Irregulars soooo much, stop being a fucking hypocrite and stop coming here. You are a fucking moron who wants to complain about everything. If you don't like what JT Irregulars is doing, stop coming to the site, or shut the FUCK up!!!
Wait, am I talking to myself?
I guess I am the fucking moron!
lol!
I am sincerely touched that Anon @ 11:42 took the time to single me out. I feel oh-so-special now, thank you!
Never said I didn't like it here. If you don't like something, stop using it or doing it. Period. But for god sakes, shut the fuck up and stop complaining!!! I feel sorry for hubby if you bitch and complain at home like that.
Suicide = A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
There’s no way in hell that story should have been posted. The surviving family members do not need to be reminded by seeing it in the paper.
Shame on the JT for posting it
