Well what do you know! Good old Lobo is
at it again being his usual media-ho self, (yes! That is just what he is!), And
this time it's at the expense of the hurting person. This article above, details
the account of a very troubled young woman, and how her friend helped her. That's
something I completely applaud and more than extol. However, to have it
publicized the way it's being publicized, including Sheriff Lobo insisting on
putting his two cents in this, absolutely sickens me. Now before anyone starts
in, claiming that I don't care about people who struggle with mental health
issues, including the issue of suicide, let me make something very perfectly
clear. This is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart, for personal
reasons, and I will not allow anyone, stress ANYONE to attempt to use situations
like this, to gain notoriety, or attention of any kind. I am also including
information below in this post so that people who are struggling with an issue
like this, or know of someone struggling with an issue like this, can get the
help that they need.
Just
to make something very clear, I very much applaud this young girl for
coming to the aid of her friend, and I think she did a very brave thing in
doing so. Suicide is a very serious issue today, and the statistics on it are
staggering. I especially applaud this young woman, for not covering her eyes,
or burying her head in the sand on this, and making sure that her friend got
the help that she needed. If there were more caring people like her, this issue
would probably be eradicated. My problem in this, is how our Sheriff Lobo, AKA
Fred Harran, decided to insert himself into this. He decides that he's going to
use this as an opportunity to bring attention to himself, by bringing in the
local press, to make some grandiose statement, in order to make himself look
good. Well Lobo, I've got news for you It's not going to work with me! Both
myself and the people of this town, in particular the people that are in this
town who know the real you, know your true motives in this, and they are not
altruistic. You do these things, to gain attention for yourself, and you care
nothing for the people that are the ones affected in these areas. All you care
about is how to make yourself look good comma and insert yourself into a
situation, to basically gain attention comma and that is not going to wash with
us!
