So this frat bro convinced 5 friends to kill themselves.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/03/us/truman-state-fraternity-suicide-directions/index.html

quote:

A former fraternity member and student at Truman State University in Missouri allegedly provided "step-by-step" directions to five people who died by suicide in 2016 and 2017, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the university, the fraternity and the student.

The member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity told people he considered himself a superhero nicknamed "peacemaker," parents of two of the deceased allege in the suit, which identifies the accused as Brandon Grossheim.
Grossheim counseled people with "step-by-step directions" for using their own free will and to "deal with depression," according to a news release issued by lawyers for the parents of Alex Mullins, 21, and Joshua Thomas, 18.

This is one of those sick fucks that loves help people commit suicide, and then bask in the sadness. I took these screenshots from his facebook; posts about 3 different people whom he convinced suicide was the cure for their depression:

It's similar to a serial killer mindset in that they all like to play god. He probably gets off bigtime from watching all those peoples' lives affected, and he's a sociopath so he doesn't have any emotion about it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

He's probably just a normal, well developed dude who happens to spend time elaborately convincing people to kill themselves and then basking in attention on social media mourning them.

It only says he gave them step-by-step directions about using "free will" to deal with depression.

I want to believe he was sincerely trying to talk all these people out of suicide and telling them to use free will to take charge of their lives and was just so lousy at it that it had the opposite effect. The harder he tried to save the next friend the more they're like "I gotta kill myself to get away from this bro's advice"

All the deaths took place in one year, and they all were being counseled by him. That one smart poster won't let me call him a sociopath, so we'll just call him a real jerk
