neo2810 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Who said they were trying to commit suicide? No you're probably right. I can see why they would not have seen the 3 lanes of vehicles screaming towards them at 70mph. It was likely just an error in judgement....

Matt H Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've not seen the show, but I was told one of the girls went on to stab and kill someone and then jump into the motorway again from a bridge. She said she couldn't remember anything about the events and the diagnosis was 'temporary madness'. I really want to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 She also tried to kill herself by hitting herself in the head with a hammer... I'm pretty sure it's suicide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was likely just an error in judgement.... ":rolleyes:" indeed. If you watched the program you'd see that one of them (whilst injured in the middle of the road and being tended to by emergency services) was screaming something to her sister about them 'trying to steal your organs'. In which case it would seem that she at least was delusional and in running across the 3 lanes of traffic was attempting to save her own life, not end it and therefore not attempting to 'commit suicide'.

Attero Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 No drugs. No drink. Apparently it's a mental disorder that comes in pairs. One person seems to get it and infects another. It lasts for up to 2-3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDQ I have watched the program, twice. You must have missed the bit where they tried to throw themselves in front of the cars BEFORE the cops turned up. If that was a misguided attempt at a sunday stroll across a motorway, then they probably would have learned the first time, but oh noooo. Have a look at the first girl who runs. Her careful analysis of the traffic before timing her injection under the big truck (which she couldn't have missed) really gives away her intent to end up being squished by said truck. I can't see any catagory you can file that under apart from "suicide", delusional or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any catagory you can file that under apart from "suicide", delusional or not. You are inferring an intention (which you can't observe) from their actions (which you can).That inference is based on what you, or any other rational person, might be intending by throwing themselves under a lorry. You don't know whether they are trying to commit suicide, or under the impression that they will only hurt but not kill themselves, demonstrating their new super-powers (delusions of grandeur), exorcising demons, proving that the world doesn't exist (delusions of nihilism), or any of a hundred other scenarios. Knocking herself on the head doesn't add to the suicide idea, as many people with thought disturbances have done similar actions. They may be attempting to stop thought broadcasting, thought insertion, hallucinatory voices or images etc. Of course, the idea that the girls were delusional is also an inference, but they were screaming for the police (while being held down by the police), and for help, and that their organs are about to be stolen.

pistonbroke Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Yet again, a fine case which highlights the huge shortcomings in our law and legislation. Out on parole in 3 years with no supervision orders......how is that to be considered justice? This country makes me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, all that was vastly overshadowed by the fact that these were the first 2 ugly, blonde Swede's Ive ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 So far I think everyone has missed massively at trying to assertain if it was suicide or not. It was both SUICIDE and NOT SUICIDE at the same time. How you say, could I come to such a conclusion? They were three dreams down and needed a Jump.
