someone died, show some respect,commenters

Your comments are inapproiate to say the least. If you cannot address the subject with some degree of respect or worhtwhile knowledge then you need to find some other way to spend your time. Have at least some respect for others.

[Jack Daniels]

Wow, this is blockbuster news for little 'ol Batavia.

[kathie mendon ny]

Other reports indicate it was a 27 year old who lived at the Vets Home.Family has been notified. My condolences to all.

[concerned]

seriously have some goddamn resepct for friends and family of the victim. i knew the damn kid and you guys have no respect for the dead you should be ashamed of yourselves, he didnt deserve to die he was set to come home TOMORROW!!!!This is no way to talk about anyone

[hmm]

Hmmm at first I was thinking the MoB. Cause it is alive and well in BataVia. That not the case, then one would have to offer sympathies to friends, and families.

He's a veteran.

This is so sad, in many respects. My deepest sympathies go out to this young man's family and friends in this very difficult time. It is also sad that we have become such an insensitive and disrespectful society that some feel it’s OK to make crass comments about the death of another.

[WHAT__EVER]

I've tried that arguement too and have found that most who come on here are not exactly nice and tend to show a lack of respect. Watch, you'll see....

I hope all those who posted the first few comments feel real good about themselves right now. Nice job guys, it appears this guy is a veteran who killed himself and how do you show your appreciation for his service to our country? By making jokes and showing a total lack of respect. I hope you all sleep well tonight.

How about showing thedailynewsonline.com -- the Batavia Daily News' Web site a little love. It ID'd the guy two hours before The Batavian.

Just remember, I'm a combat vet two times over as well. That means no personal attached can come my way from you. Not that you have. Just saying.

I believe that death in any form is so hard to understand that joking is a coping mechanism to get past something we can't grasp. You should hear the kind of jokes that go around any ambulance base or EMT class sometimes--truly sick unless you can understand it's a way to cope with something like that. Of course as human beings we have caring feelings for anyone so depressed they take their own life, and thinking about this young man, or any person's, last few minutes on earth brings us all to deep regret for him. The joking may not be harmless, in truth, but there is a purpose. Just sayin....

Mob, there is no mob in Batavia, no we dont hang out at Sunnys, I dont know what your talking about.

[Vet]

I find it nearly unbelievable how cruel and crass some of these posts are. This man served your country and protected you and you repay him by making fun of his tragic death. Remember, what goes around comes around. Is this how you would want a loved one to be treated in death?
My condolences to his family and friends at the VA.

[DDM24D]

I think the comments that have been made are extremely cruel.
This was a young man that had served this country and deserves to be honored for it. This young man also spent time with my son you also was trying to get the help that was very much needed. These men dont deserve to be critizized for what has happened to them they deserve every ounce of love we can give them. He grew up in our home town and was known as a respectful and polite man. So please dont condemn him or any soldier that has fought to keep our country free they were here for you the least you can do is honor them. "GOD BLESS JAMES MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY"

[PGJR]

You guys are aholes out there. He was a soldier and served for your dam country and this is what you do for someone who had the balls to go and do a job that hurt him. Not only is he a hero at home for what he did he is a man that carried scars that you normal people will never understand. God Bless you James were going to miss you bud.

I cant agree with you more. These people are scumbags they think its easy to just deal with what we have to deal with. I was with James in the VA also not long ago. I didnt even want to believe this was true he was great.
