Is Reddit discussion always like that? It seems like a very "young" style of discussion. Like when threads here occasionally get taken over by our uninformed, drive-by posters.

Cp has great info and great Flames discussion but is overly PC and seems like a bunch of grammas talking after church.

Like it seems like many people on CP speak and act the way they feel seems right in every discussion rather than how they most likely speak and act in real life? I'd say that's fair criticism.

But I don't get the taco.vidal comment into context of this post? Pretty simple, what happened at this incident. Response, and a commentary. I could see the church response in maybe another thread?

You might have opened the window, but taco pulled down his pants and farted through it. Not your fault your kitchen smells like fart, it's his.

I sure hope the conversation style here never drops to reddit levels.
I am surprised that the media in Calgary has been deadly silent on this. I read suggestions on Facebook that there was a jumper who was subsequently hit by a truck. If this is true, my thoughts are with the the family of the person who died. It is really hard to wrap your head around the desperation that someone must have felt as they were on the bridge.
Of course, if it is true that the person was hit by a truck, my thoughts go out to the driver.
i am assuming the story is not being publicized as perhaps they don't want to give people ideas, and I would imagine they want the families to grieve privately.

The media doesn't talk about suicide. almost all news stations follow that policy. They don't report on suicides because really nothing good can come out of it. More anguish for the family and friends and can have an effect on people who are already suicidal.

Yup. Unless there is an overriding reason (celebrity, cat already out of the bag, public health issue), neither the police nor the media will talk about a suicide.
In this case though, all signs made it rather obvious. CPS will never close Deerfoot except in the event of a major incident, usually a fatality, where accident reconstruction is necessary. And the fact that they refused to call it an accident really left only one other realistic option for what happened.

Suicides don't get reported because it leads to a spike in deaths for a short period of time in populations similar to the original victim (be it through more Suicides or violent accidents). Dr Robert Cialdini discusses the effect of social proof in detail in his book Influence.
