    To anyone who’s feeling down around this time of year, call 911 or 988. Nothing is better than having you around.

    Edit:

    I really feel strongly about this and I misworded my message. Get help if you need it.

    You matter to me. I mean that with all of my heart.

      I get what you’re saying here, but it strikes me as funny that this sentence could also be read to mean that having nothing around is better than having you there.

        Oh, wow. That’s a different take that I hadn’t considered. I’ll be anyone’s something. Even for a single comment… and that’s way better than nothing.

          People like you always say that, but you don’t actually want/need that kind of responsibility. There are suicide hotlines for a reason; let trained people handle it.

      Uhhhhhhhhh, very funny to recommend calling the police in the comments on a post about a man getting killed by the police because he called for help.

      Please don’t suggest that people call 911. Not in the replies to this article.
