What the crap, man?

Suspect in Miami Crash Kills Self on Plane

DENVER (AP) - A man hanged himself in an airplane lavatory days after being arrested for allegedly driving his new car through a dealership's showroom and setting a nearly $1 million fire, authorities said Thursday.

A United Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles was diverted to Denver after Gerald Georgettis' body was found. The Denver medical examiner ruled the death a suicide.

Denver police Detective Virginia Lopez said no other passengers were ever in danger.

In Miami, Georgettis, 56, was accused of driving his new Ford Escape through the Metro Ford dealership's showroom on Saturday before pouring gasoline on it and lighting it. Miami-Dade County police have said he was upset about how much he paid for his car.

Fire officials said the blaze burned about a dozen cars, including a $150,000 limited-edition 2006 Ford GT.

Georgettis was charged with arson and felony criminal mischief and released Sunday on $1,500 bond.

can't figure out why people do crap like that.. if you're gonna kill yourself, at least do it in a place where it won't affect others... I was once stuck on the bay bridge because some freakin idiot thought it would be a good idea to do it that way.. well.. not only did he wuss out.. he backed up traffic for 5 miles and closed a central artery..

with that said, next time I run into this situation. I would be more than happy to encourage others there with me to push him off and help him out.

People who are suicidal are obviously mentally ill and need help, not a push...

That guy was mentally unstable to begin with, but surprised that he took his own life. Sad story all the way around.
