This comment section goes to show you can’t please everyone You can care about Lacy’s mental health and people blast you for not being sensitive to the victims family But by showing sensitivity to the victims family in the way everyone is demanding it, it by definition ignores Lacy’s struggles with the aftermath

He didn’t feel shit after he killed a marine bc his dumbass wanted to drive like a thug, only when he realized he’s gonna have to face consequences

it’s still awful that he felt killing himself was the only way out, but also he got there because of his own incredibly shitty actions. he killed an innocent man because he wanted to have fun going fast.

Not defending his actions regarding that accident but like it or not, all of that is still, in fact, mental health. Terrible situation all around

Definitely awful, but in really poor taste for this guy to be mentioned like this. Such an incredible disrespect to the hit and run victim’s family, especially when there are so many other examples of people struggling with mental health that could be used.

Got it it directly from the lawyer defending the young man. And if you read the case he was wrongly charged just cause some DA was trying to make a name.

It is literally illegal for a lawyer to admit their clients guilt even after their client dies. It is a breach of attorney-client privilege and for a high-profile case like this would see them disbarred

bro thats literally his lawyer. Did you miss the part where it is illegal for the lawyer for to say anything other than “he is innocent”, and how even if it wasnt illegal it would destroy that lawyer’s career?

Do you legitimately think there is a world his lawyer would say “he is guilty”? How about you look up how many cases that lawyer has lost, how many times has that lawyer said “my client is innocent” and been wrong. Their entire job is to defend their clients no matter what they did

So we should only care about select people's mental health? Like the dude killer himself he clearly needed help, and we still arguing about what happened and if he deserved help. Like no wonder the dude decided he had no other options

We can care about his mental health without putting him up on a banner as an advocate for mental health month. Im not saying he didnt deserve help, but you can help people while still disclosing the fact that they are an alleged felon and were charged with homicide at the time of their death

Instead the original post makes no mention of the primary cause of his mental health decline, which is incredibly disrespectful to the victims family

I mean I’m sure you’ve heard how Adolf Hitler suffered with severe mental health issues, he even includes them in the book he wrote. But we make damn sure to mention WWII and the holocaust, because the people who died deserve respect and remembrance.

Plenty of other people have committed suicide in college football in recent years or have had other mental health struggles. But if you gotta insist on picking the one alleged to have committed homicide without giving any acknowledgement even to the other person who died then go ahead, but thats on you. Dont come down here in the comments and try and accuse me of not caring.

Again ima pick who I want to, you can want me to pick some glorious perfect role model, but im gonna pick whoever I want. Mental health ain't pretty most people aren't saints get over trying to tell me some dead guy isn't good enough for you

Again you CAN pick whoever you want. But if you pick someone alleged of felony homicide and dont disclose that, other people CAN call you out on that, and point out that while Kyren Lacy unfortunately chose to commit suicide, 78 year old Herman Hall didnt have a choice. Mental health aint pretty, but respecting mental health doesnt mean ignoring a persons crimes and disrespecting a dead man and his family.

I’m not asking you to pick some glorious role model or say you can’t pick Kyren Lacy. Just saying if you’re gonna pick Kyren Lacy, you can at least mention the man he allegedly killed.

I'm mean rip to him but imo it's in bad taste to bring it up in a mental health post. That's doesn't want people to feel bad about things they might of did

It’s definitely challenging to do in a good way, and it may be distasteful to some. But every way that doesn’t mention the car crash victim is in poor taste, especially in this case where as far as we know that was the primary cause for Kyren Lacy’s mental health decline.

I have talked about it before, but a lap half his mental health was probably the fact that he never was gonna get a chance at the nfl too.

His story should be shared to show how driving is really fucking dangerous and not something to not take seriously. There is a huge mental health problem in the NCAA and we should highlight other athletes

Most dangerous thing the avg person does on a daily basis. More likely to die on a 2 hour road trip then a 2 hour flight, yet people arent nearly as cautious driving as they are flying.

I disagree with the third part, you can absolutely talk about Lacy’s mental health struggles and how they led to his death while still mentioning the man who died in the car crash. If anything I’d argue it is more ignorant not to mention the event that caused his mental health to decline
