If you were so concerned about mental health, you'd commit yourself for
a 72-hour psych evaluation.

I understand when this was first reported, there was an effort made by
track officials to conceal the fact that the guy *shot himself* at an
event sponsored by the NRA.

I agree with this post.

There's no shortage of suicides by gun in this country. What it actually
is is a juxtaposition.

Looks to me like either it's a coincidence, or he purposely picked the
special place at the special event to cap himself, to fit some kind
of an agenda.

Well, whatever the motivation, it's too bad there wasn't someone in his
life who could intervene, although, even if there was, it might not have
helped.

True, I do hate to hear of suicides, There's no call for it, but if a
person is determined to do it it will be done.

Sad.
