A 33-year-old Turkish man, known as the "Suicide Traveler," attempted to take his life for the 232nd time by climbing to the rooftop of a five-story building in Manavgat, Antalya.
Carrying a knife, a noose, and a plastic bottle filled with gasoline, his actions caused panic among passersby. Emergency responders, including police, firefighters, and medics, rushed to the scene to de-escalate the situation.
During negotiations, the man admitted he was extremely hungry. Officers promptly ordered him a shawarma (döner kebab), which led him to abandon his suicide attempt.
According to Turkish media, the man has gained notoriety for his repeated suicide attempts across the country, earning him the nickname "Suicide Traveler." Despite continuous rescue efforts and psychological support, he persists in his tragic endeavors.
Nah, this is just regular capitalism. Late-stage capitalism would be just "be exploited or starve", no third alternative.
