I think we should ban ropes. They are, after all, a large factor in suicides. Just having one around makes me think continuously of roping something. Plus, they could make poeple think of a time whenever people were hung on the city square and how inhumane our culture used to be becuase murderers were put to death immeditaly, thus saving thousands of dollars. They are so damn accesable, you can walk into any Wal-Mart in America and buy a rope, plus they don't even card you! So any 10 year old with afew bucks could own a deadly rope. Sure, sure, it may look like a little innocent twine, but in the hands of the right individual, it could be a non-stoppable killing device. Think of all the murders, suicides, tortures, hangings, accidental deaths, and broken limbs that have been caused by rope. everyone gather with me and we'll fight to ban rope!

NO MORE ROPE! NO MORE ROPE!

On a serious note, this is terrible and should not have happened. However, that guy did the best thing by blowing his head off. It sure saved us millions upon millions of dollars to prosecute him and countless hours of the media cashing in on the event of the trial. Terrible those people died.
