Bend man stabs himself to death after performing at coffee shop
Published: Friday, April 15, 2011, 8:13 PM Updated: Friday, April 15, 2011, 8:18 PM
By The Associated Press
BEND -- Police in central Oregon say a 19-year-old man performed a song he introduced as "Sorry for the Mess" at a coffee house "open microphone" event, then fatally stabbed himself in the chest.
Lt. Chris Carney says patrons at Bend's Strictly Organic Coffee rushed to help Kipp Rusty Walker on Thursday night and police and medics arrived quickly. But the young man died at St. Charles Medical Center from multiple stab wounds.
Carney says Walker used a double-edged knife with a 4- to 6-inch-long blade. Police reports indicate the crowd of 10 to 15 was clapping as Walker finished his keyboard performance. When patrons saw him hitting his chest, Carney said they initially thought that was part of his act -- until they saw blood.
Coffee shop co-owner Rhonda Ealy tells KTVZ that "people at first thought it was some sort of theater."

On a kind of related note: I heard that some French fella cut off his cock and balls in a theatre as a performance art in the early 1900s.

I like to think I would do this kind of thing if I decided to off myself.
Except I'm kind of a pussy so I probably wouldn't stab myself.

That is one hell of a way to kill yourself. It would have been better if he was famous and known for this kind of stuff.

Reminds me of

A self-destructive man feels completely alienated, utterly alone. He's an outsider to the human community. He thinks to himself, "I must be insane." What he fails to realize is that society has, just as he does, a vested interest in considerable losses and catastrophes. These wars, famines, floods and quakes meet well-defined needs. Man wants chaos. In fact, he has to have it. Depression, strife, riots, murder… all this dread. We're irresistibly drawn to that almost orgiastic state created out of death and destruction. It's in all of us. We revel in it. Sure, the media tries to put a sad face on these things, painting them up as great human tragedies. But we all know the function of the media has never been to eliminate the evils of the world – no! Their job is to persuade us to accept those evils and get used to living with them. The powers that be want us to be passive observers, and they haven't given us any other options outside the occasional, purely symbolic, participatory act of voting. You want the puppet on the right or the puppet on the left? I feel that the time has come to project my own inadequacies and dissatisfactions into the socio-political and scientific schemes, let my own lack of a voice be heard."

This guy's act of an obscure suicide contains within it more poetry than desperation, more hilarity than sadness.

This is cute, finding you guys talking about Kipp on a website about shrooms.
I'm his friend. just thought you guys would appreciate actually seeing some of his words instead of hearing bullshit news thats all wrong..
"If I leave you guys with anything, itd be for you to be able to see this whole thing from my view. Try and do that for me if you can. Death is no big deal, its really no different from life. All the atoms that you would consider "mine" are still there, just no ego will exist to try and possess them, to somehow own them, and believe them to be "mine." Don't miss me, i am really not anything, just another speck of sand, drop of water, and any other metaphor that insinuates my being insignificant on the cosmic scale. But what do i know, im just a human, with a very limited understanding of the universe and how it works. lol. In any case im pretty excited, to either take the last step and be done, or to find out if theres some new shit after this life shit, be it what i would consider "good" or "bad" in my current living state. Haha. Anyway, "cyadude"..."
the song was not called sorry for the mess it was just some made up song on the spot that he played on the piano.

ooooh. this thread just got really interesting.
did he do hallucinogens? a lot of what he said is commonly posted in "the psychedelic experience" section of the forum; albeit in different wording.
i totally see where he was coming from, but i dont think that would push me to kill myself. im not curious enough about dieing to experience it. (as im fairly certain its identical to the billions of years before i was born.... immense amounts of absolute nothingness which cant even be experienced... how boring....)
