[quote][b]NEW YORK (AP) -- A 25-year-old from Georgia who was distraught over President Bush's re-election apparently killed himself at ground zero.[/b]

Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits area of the former World Trade Center site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.

Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.

"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the lab, told The Daily News. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic."

Police were investigating how Veal entered the former World Trade Center site, which is protected by high fences and owned by the Port Authority.[/quote]

I bet he voted Nader :lol:

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

maybe he was actually found by the Port Authority, and they shot him with a shotgun. The Port Authority became scared, so they dumped the gun as they were running away, and it was assumed a suicide.

i hope some europeans start killing themselves over the election too

BREAKING NEWS: 10,000 frenchies dead in mass suicide :mrgreen:

the fence is not that high. no barbed wire. quite easy to boost up & climb over i would think.

at least in 4 years he can't be re-elected, but that would be for a different forum.

may be his future wife was banging someone else. can't imagine anyone kissing the world goodbye over bush... :?

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

There are crazy people out there...He could just move to another country.... :? So simple as that...Not kill his self

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

i have no pity on this asshole. none what so ever. i hope this guy burns. :evil:

its a fucking disgrace that he used the site for a stupid political viewpoint when he should just have dealt with the fact that the majority of the country wants bush in. :?

that area is hallowed and never should be used to make a point. few people i lost there must be rolling in thier graves. :(

his political point has nothing to do with a place where a few thousand ppl died in a terror attack. fuck this clown, you have no clue how furious the friends and family of the people who died there are. and you can include me in that group. i hope someone topples his coffin :Middlefi:

we all lost something in 9/11...we all cried..we all felt the pain...

im not a terrorist supporter and neither way this guy (most likely)

so, what the fuck are you talking about??

he went there and killed himself...he didnt hurt anyone else

get that through your thick skull

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

DUDE, he went there to associate his opposition to bush with the senseless deaths on that morning. he even jumped the fence in the site. he went that far. yeah. it wasnt on the sidewalk or even around it, he went into the site.

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

and i never once said he was doing anything even related to terrorists. i said he used himself to voice a fucking political opinion in the ONE place where he shouldnt have. let the people have one spot to remember without adding the political bulshit of this country to it. please.

he went that far??

how far is that

about 100 feet or so probably

the concrete there isnt going to bring anyone back...it isnt going to change what has happened

did you complain when they built that Bank of American down the street on Native American burial ground??

probably not

so are you you an animist or something...do you believe in the WTC has having some mystical form of guidance???

he shot himself, he didnt hurt anyone, he didnt support george bush, he was sad and angry at the state of affairs in this world, he didnt hurt you, he didnt hurt me, nor anyone who died that day....

he is just yet another loss from this entire tragedy

he symbolizes the existential paranoia associated with living in a morally corrupt world...he couldnt voice his sadness any more thoroughly, sadly enough

i dont blame him for that...it takes a lot of courage to do that...

at least he didnt go off a bunch of other before doing it...then yes id sit here any say he was a piece of shit...but he wasnt

Re: Man kills himself because Bush is re-elected

you have no clue on how new yorkers feel about the site, maybe you should ask more of us about it, ignore me for awhile. maybe someone else could put it in better words.

personally i would compare it to the sacredness of a church. he desecrated it IMO.

im not going to waste my breath distinguish new yorkers from the rest of the species...our dna is too mathematically consistent

it was a moral tragedy to us all

this guy is dead and gone, just like everyone else that died there

to me its all part of the same problem

one less idiot in the world
