Because if they do you could go to prison.

TAUNTON, Mass. — Michelle Carter, the Massachusetts woman convicted
in June of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging a close friend,
through text messages and phone calls, to commit suicide, was sentenced
on Thursday to 15 months in a county jail.

Here is what the judge said....
A judge concluded, came in a single phone call. Just as her friend
Conrad Roy III stepped out of the truck he had filled with lethal fumes,
Ms. Carter told him over the phone to get back in the cab and then listened
to him die without trying to help him.

That command, and Ms. Carter’s failure to help, said Judge Lawrence Moniz of
Bristol County Juvenile Court, made her guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

All I can say is wow! :think2:

About ten times in one day night exchange of texts.

Messed up beyond comprehension.

If there is one thing liberals loathe, it's personal responsibility.

Absolutely no way anyone can be held responsible for another person's suicide...it's their personal choice.

Sticks and stones...

Whatever happened to common sense?

My wife and I have been debating this for a few days now and I'm with you.

How is a drug dealer responsible for a person's overdose death?

How is a bartender responsible for your choice to drive a car while drunk?

Flawed logic by Moniz. What he's saying is if a person is ten stories up
and threating to jump and 100 people down below are cheering him on they're
all guilty of involuntary manslaughter if he does?

I think there will be a reversal upon appeal.

Another example why Trump needs to flood the judicial system with as many grounded common sense conservative judges as possible.

She is the most evil c u n t walk the earth - yes, I understand he suffered from depression and he committed suicide - I still could never have one ounce of remorse for her

Assisted suicide plain and simple.

She coached the poor lad, when he tried to stop she told him to get back in that truck and stay.

She is one sick and twisted bitch and won't serve any time probably.

She wanted to kill him, but didn't have the balls to do it herself.

So let me ask a question here. If someone calls the suicide prevention line and the operator says "You know what, you're right. You have absolutely nothing to live for. I think you should kill yourself". You don't think that operator in any way should be punished?

Okay, but the state doesn't have a law regarding assisted suicide, correct? I think they made up some shit and it stuck.

Fired, but if the state has no suicide law, what law are they breaking?

I think that's much too simplistic way of looking at this (not everything is that black and white). That's a pretty heinous act to simply just let it go at a firing.

I have no idea why you would characterize this as an assisted suicide. You do realize in that situation, there is a party of sound mind asking to be assisted?

You don't always get arrested for being an asshole.

Huh? Very easily

dtmad · Aug 11, 2017

I believe it might be related to something called "depraved indifference", which is a crime, and I think it has to do with not stepping up to help someone when there is no risk to yourself. It seems that encouraging another person to harm himself, which is what she did is, one level worse than the crime is just observing and doing nothing.

Don't agree at all.

A drug dealer doesn't force anyone to take drugs. Drug users do. No personal responsibility.

Bartenders don't force people to drive drunk in a car. Drunks do. No personal responsibility.

Warning! Don't encourage someone to kill themself.
