From the News of the World: Fathers 4 suicide

Quote:

A FATHERS’ rights protester is planning to commit suicide by hanging himself outside a judge’s home, the News of the World can reveal.

The unidentified dad is said to be suffering from terminal cancer and “has nothing to lose any more”.

The “martyr” for Real Fathers For Justice—a spin-off of defunct group Fathers 4 Justice—is targeting the judge who denied him access to his kids.

RFFJ campaign director Mike Kelly denied that the man’s grim vow was a crass publicity stunt. He said: “We are actively trying to persuade him to take a different course of action.

“He’s doing it to force the Government to discuss the problems with the family law system.”

A source inside the group said: “This activist has not seen his children for years. As he feels there’s nothing more he can do to see them before he dies, he’s going out with a grand gesture. That will involve killing himself at the home of the judge in his case. Plans are quite advanced.”

The source claimed RFFJ is “more hardcore” than Fathers 4 Justice, adding: “These are desperate guys who feel the legal system has unfairly blocked their right to a family life.”

Mr Kelly said FIVE of its members had taken their lives in just three years.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “The Government firmly believes children should NOT be denied meaningful contact with their other parent, where this is safe.”

I don't think committing suicide will accomplish anything. I can understand why he would want to do it, though.

Yet their actions do not correlate with this claim.

Exactly. This is why committing suicide isn't going to move these corrupt people. They have no feelings. A swinging corpse would do nothing to move them in the slightest. They don't feel "guilt." They don't feel "remorse." They'll just continue on smiling and lying through their teeth.

Reminds me of the guy who shot himself on the stairs of the family court. I am pretty much sure he´d get more attention if he was female.

I suppose commiting suicide in private is a tad better in the Government's mind. That way, any message the man leaves behind can be kept secret by the Government's stooges, the Police and the Coroner (another friggin' Judge).

While I don't agree that committing suicide is the way to go, I can't assume to know what is going through the mind of the person considering this action. Having said that, I do hope that F4J is able to get some media coverage on what this action was taken. Hopefully it will help to open some eyes.

It sounds like Real Fathers For Justice won't be around for very long...
