Dead Bodies

[PhotoJones]

So on my way home from work, not far from my house, there was a guy laying on the side of the road. People were starting to gather, and as I slowly passed, I noticed a hole on his left temple that was pouring blood. He has clearly been shot in the head. I stopped, and asked if anyone had called the police. It seems it had just happened, so I made the call on my cell.

Has anyone ever discovered a dead body, or been in a situation (other than a funeral) where you had to deal with one? It's a very unsettling thing.

Yeah I've only seen a real dead person at a funeral. Which by the way, is rather creepy. Closed casket please.

I've seen a few more than I'd like. Gunshot victims from liberty city (think of the @hittiest part of the country, now add Florida's heat, that's liberty city), two accidents one where the lady was thrown and another where the people inside burned, and I had a friend knifed in a bar fight in boston.

What sucks the most is how after the first time, it stops phasing or even bothering you (with the exception of Patrick, you're missed every day boyo) and you just know you've lost something when you can see that and not care too much.

OMG! Are you serious? That would be a surreal and gruesome thing to have to deal with . . .

The only time I've encountered a dead body was this one time when I was a kid, me and some of my buddies walked along some railroad tracks looking for Ray Brauer, the missing kid from the neighborhood and eventually found him

I've yet to see a dead human in person, but I've seen hundreds of dead people in pictures, videos, and the like. I know it'd be different in person, but it's at a point now where I can watch and see pretty much anything and not be phased by it...

A lot of people tell me I'm cold-blooded for that.

But it's kind of poured over into real-life as well... Seeing people get hurt or break something, or even getting hurt myself doesn't phase me in a mental way anymore, I think more of, "****, how am I gonna fix this," rather than, "Oh my God, I have a knife in my leg," which I accredit to having watched that kind of stuff.

First video I ever saw was the Nicholas Berg video [a beheading, which is enough of a breaking-in, to say the least], and that **** gave me nightmares for a few days... It had a traumatic impact on me for a few days, but after that odd fear from the video left me, I just don't feel phased by stuff like that anymore.

I guess that kind of thing is good for you, though.

Seeing a dead kid, that would probably still @uck me up quite a bit.

Nevermind.

This is a little off topic, but...A couple weeks ago, a paranoid schizophrenic punched his arm through the glass door in my apartment building. Again, this was happening right as I was coming home from work. He hit an artery, and blood was just spraying out of his arm. There's a fountain in the courtyard, and I watched make about three steps towards the thing before he fell over. I thought he was dead, but the paramedics were able to help him.

So.... Time to move?

ok . . . that was an off-key reference to the movie "Stand By Me" . . . thought more people would get the joke

Cincinnati.

Actually they're turning our apartments into condos. I think we're going to buy one when they do. If you saw the place, you wouldn't want to move either.

Never saw that movie. I heard it's pretty good.

I'm sure it's very cool. Maybe you should just get on that condo board to try and steer the paranoid schizophrenics across the street though.

Cincinnati.

Like Airborne Cincinatti?

Like Airborne Cincinatti?

Let me explain something about Airborne.

While it was filmed here, it was also filmed across the river in Kentucky and parts of it were even filmed in Indiana. It's smashed together to look like one giant super city. Remember the race down Devil's Backbone at the end? With all the places they filmed that scene, it would taken them 3 days to complete that race. Somehow, the kids start in the burbs, then go across the river into Bellvue, then back across the river (all off screen), and into Mason, and finally at the Stadium (which doesn't exist anymore).

So yes, like Airborne Cincinnati.

It was okay. It tried.

A local? Well, I'll be!

What part are you from?

 

[Boom]

Western Hills, close to Price Hill.

 

[Cyrusbales]

In Agra there are masses of bodies, of various stages of decomposition, nothing past a couple of months though, a sickly sweet smell and it's kinda nasty I spose, interesting experience as a 13/14 year old, but whatever, people die.
