Great to hear state police are focused on all those underaged drinking parties that are killing hundreds…. Oh wait that’s the heroin dealers I forgot it’s so hard to keep up with their priorities. Laughable.

How is what I said insensitive? It’s an acknowledgment of the facts. She traumatized multiple people by doing this. We are even saying the same thing. My family has lost members to suicide and yes we know how much it hurts. We also know what happens when you do it in a way that traumatized others they aren’t mutually exclusive. Get off Reddit if you want your feelings regarded by strangers.

Long time resident of Waterbury; I spoke with the Amtrack employee that saw it all happen. Per the worker, it was definitely suicide, the woman had been meandering around station parking lot and adjacent park muttering to herself for several hours before the train arrived. Obviously not in the right mindset and it’s horrible she got to this point, but the thousand yard stare the Amtrack worker had combined with his recounting of the incident (let’s just say the wheels got to her first) gives me less sympathy. Suicidal ideation and actions are awful, but there is no reason to mentally scar strangers (obviously friends and family will be hurt regardless of the method) with your actions in doing so. Simply no avoiding the fact that this will cause years of struggle for the people she brought into it.
