CNN just reported somebody leaped to their death inside superdome: suicide |
|
Evidently they couldn't take the conditions there any longer.

4. That happened about 10+ hours ago. |
|
Two other people also died. Remember a lot of people were there because it was the only place to go. Many other people weren't so lucky. No numbers yet.

6. One of the reasons the Red Cross tries to have a "Mental Health Pro" |
|
in its shelters - even a school psychologist or a social worker..
If you have ever been in one of these shelters (I have done "12 hours on - 36 hours off", and "8 hours on - 16 hours off" in a Red Cross Shelter) - even with hot meals, and running water, and air conditioning/heating/dehumidification, current news feed, recreation (at least basketball and video games) - it gets oppressive.
Add to the mix the fact that "Gang Wars" and "Gang Turf Battles" get transferred into the shelter, and that the stress of the situation exacerbates any mental health issue -----
