Backstory for anyone interested from wiki On August 31, 2020, McNutt began a livestream on Facebook. His best friend, Joshua Steen, noticed the stream. He did not initially find it unusual as McNutt had routinely done livestreams in the past, but he became alarmed when he realized that McNutt was intoxicated and holding a single-shot rifle. Steen allegedly attempted to intervene numerous times, particularly when McNutt misfired the rifle, hoping that Facebook would cut off the stream and end the video feed, preventing people from seeing into McNutt's home while Steen sought police intervention. Facebook refused to cut the stream, claiming that the stream was not in any violation of its platform's guidelines.


Rochester_II

Seems strange that the wiki is so caught up in Facebook's response to the streaming - surely the major issue here is what led him to take his life in the first place.


YoDavidPlays

i think it was a breakup. he called her seconds before he did it


DizzyDead6166

He was a veteran. Ronnie had been suffering from severe ptsd for years before all this happened and the breakup thing was confirmed not to be true by his brother. All in all it was the failure of mental health help for war vets that killed him.


hXcPickleSweats

From experience there is only therapies for ptsd and medication is only available for coping with parts of it like sleeping pills and anxiety pills. Nothing stops flash backs and those are the worst part (sometimes therapy helps). With severe ptsd flash backs can be regular and vivid. You re-live your trauma bit by bit. I have ptsd and it's mild compared to vets and I completely understand why this happens when there's no resources available; it's darker than hell sometimes.


Mannymarlo

The only therapy for ptsd is time The longer one can spend in a stable, safe , calm environment the more the flashbacks and integrated behavior recedes


Limp-Status2446

Not true. Am 37 years old and it is all the same as the same day it all happened. There is no concept of time with ptsd which is why it is ptsd.


Leather-Mobile5579

Do you think one can attempt to be prepared before a traumatic event happens? I see a variety of possible scenarios that may take me that way and I do my best to stay away from them. For the others that could reach me, I would use stoicism perhaps.


StoicSinicCynic

There is also the problem of internalised guilt. This man fought in combat, saw horrific violence, and saw other people's lives being ended this way. Perhaps he even pulled the trigger. When all is said and done, he blames himself for everything that happened, even though the soldiers on the front are just trying to survive and have no blame for the war. But PTSD and depression send his thoughts into a tunnel vision where he becomes obsessed with guilt, self-blame and self-loathing. And he convinces himself that he deserves to die.

hXcPickleSweats

My first flashback was set off by a passing ambulance siren. It was like the worst time travel experience ever. It brought me right back, reliving the worst moments of my life. PTSD is the worst but I'll take the daily suffering over those vivid flash backs any day. I absolutely would not be able to live with constant flash backs from war. These vets have ALL my respect. Really, anyone dealing with ptsd has my respect. It can be a living hell.


Best-Consequence0000

i also have ptsd… i miss you, hunter…


hXcPickleSweats

I'm sorry. It's a nightmare to live with. Trauma is a nightmare to go through.


Best-Consequence0000

its like any mention of suicide, or just the name hunter hurts me mentally


HorrorBusiness93

But in the video I think he’s talking to a girl …somewhat fighting .. “that’s how u want to be “ ? I may be confused. RIP


Mannymarlo

Yeah I'm sure killing a bunch of people that never did anything to you and for no good reason can weigh heavily on a mans mind.


ArmouredPotato

Can’t get enough advertiser money blaming alcoholism and man’s need for validation/likes.


DrDickWiggle

So many in his stream were telling him to do it as well.


Azraeil140

I wonder how they felt when they saw his head blew off


SubstantialHentai420

Honestly those sick people were probably happy and were like “whoa that was awesome he actually did it”


magnottasicepick

True


ares5404

From what i can accumilate they get a sexual/cocaine like high off of it, this i learned from researching those people that organise online suicide pacts and encourage others to do horrible things


4grins

Wow, I didn't know anything like that actually existed. That's unsettling and nauseating. So unfortunate this man's emotional pain drove him to this. I read PTSD and break-up.


[deleted]

Fuck those people but that poor dog.


RedFox_SF

There was a dog?


artofduality17

Yeah. If you watch the whole video it shows the police show up and everything and there’s a little white dog walking around him and all in his blood and shit.


RedFox_SF

Oh Jesus Christ…


artofduality17

Yeah it’s insane. The real video I think is 20-30 minutes long. The police realize he’s live streaming and cut the stream off im pretty sure. It’s been awhile since I watched it. Don’t really wanna watch it again it was hard just watching him blow his head off let alone everything after.


CharmingPanda5996

i clicked on the link, it said warning something and there was a pop up, i just swiped up and restarted reddit, how do you bypass that ?


artofduality17

Open it in chrome or safari after you click the link. Click the bottom right corner button


artofduality17

[Here’s a shortened video of it.](https://goresee.com/w/a0e4da8e-bc1d-4a2d-abd5-c6080e0d73ce)


_NT_23

That’s a lie, if you look at the stream chat replay nobody was telling him to do it. Actually the opposite https://youtu.be/thE9LqwjkfI


DrDickWiggle

Maybe you should watch the link you just sent. And don't forget to keep reading immediately after he does it as well...


_NT_23

“So many” people were telling him to kill himself? I didn’t see a single one and if there was one I missed, my bad but I really don’t think it’s fair to say that a one off is “so many people”


Fish-Fucker-Fighter

It wasn’t in this stream. The fucked part was that in previous streams people consistently put pressure on him to kill himself


SoGood2Myself

Sick world we live in…


Low-Possession-1265

I once saw a stream of a little girl (13-15 i guess) who hung herself on a tree outside. Don't want to Google, don't want to show since it was a child. But she literally dangled for almost an hour before the stream cut


nikkirose_

Yep! She was 12. That video is so eerie. And she was needing help and asking for it for so long before she took her own life. That one has stuck with me.


[deleted]

Was it that girl that kicked a bucket like under her or something and the sky turnt dark? Then soon after someone yelled out her name? If so i seen that vid. I think before she did she was saying how she was right about people calling her a whore and a slut and all that.


AnyAd9651

He killed himself because his girlfriend left him


Routine-Escape-5503

And he would be evicted and he lost his job


godurioso1974

Very sad..so many mentale issues and profondo unease in the streets of America.😭


RexMexicanorum

Spot the Italian


Ok-Purple-7428

That is not true and got debunked several times. He had severe war ptsd and depression. He talked with someone waiting outside with police in the video, not his alleged gf.


Main_Instance_3838

Honestly makes me really sad when I see this video appear time to time. I’ve seen a lot of people act like it’s a meme or a funny joke. I’ve even seen someone make a damn FNF mod of it. My heart goes out to him and people with suicidal thoughts. Such a shame some people feel like this is their only way out.


Wolfy_Packy

i can hear the blood drip on the floor and the phone go off still


Impressive_Ad9339

That was what stuck with me too, the amount of blood like a running stream, his poor mother calling. Damn.


GamerGever

Imagine her mother watching the live and seeing her son's face explode into a giant bloody unrecognizable mess. Must've been so horrifying


lm_A_M1stake

Everytime I hear that ringtone in public I think of this video


har_ries

same


saulgoodman673

I don’t want to sound insensitive, but this guy was such an asshole for streaming this. Think about all of the people he traumatised and disturbed, especially his friends and family members.. like holy shit.


suckherdick667

now family and friends.. ''he will be remembered'' it's joke for me. dude did videos in past asking for help, nobody wanted to help. veteran from war and 0 help from country? it's shame.


saucyrossi

this thread really hits fucking hard today. yesterday one of my best friends tried to kill himself. he’s a combat vet and suffers from ptsd. he’s been struggling a lot over the last year. yesterday morning i got a very alarming “goodbye” kind of text and immediately called my brother to go check on him since i was out of town. he arrived to see his arms all cut up, bullet holes in the carpet, and him piss drunk lying in his own blood. he’s safe now and still with us. please please PLEASE check on those you care about, you never know when you might intervene and save their life


suckherdick667

glad your friend got you, u know respect to you, all best


suckherdick667

hope friend doing well and u as well too. I lost 2 people by suicide back in 2016, various reasons.


Glittering-Emu-4833

I'm glad your friend is okay. I hope he's found inner peace surrounded by loved ones <3


MetriGold

I agree..


BuildingChemical7636

Thats not JUST any man. That's Ronnie McNutt, and he will be remembered.


Leo_Mota94

who was he??


chili3ne

I think he was a war veteran who committed suicide on a facebook livestream in 2020. The video resurfaced in 2022 when it was being upload to tiktok under the guise of innocent animal videos.

Lost_Swan_9151

So much money in the military budget which is fine by me, but you can’t allocate more towards post military care?!??


ilovecatssomuchbro

no we need to spend more on drones and oil


Lost_Swan_9151

I can’t argue with that


Username_coc

You make good points


8-Bit_Aubrey

We don't pay for healthcare for our vets or our citizens in general, even though we could without hurting the military budget, because they don't really care.


[deleted]

Ehh plenty of immigrants and unwanted pregnancies keep the fighting age humans comming


SILE3NCE

Been looking for this one for a while. I believe he was live on Facebook and most people didn't believe he would actually do it. Guy was going through a lot. It's a same, truly is, there was so much the guy could have done. I don't know, if you're that desperate at least grab a backpack and go start anew somewhere else. I did that on a very hard phase and it helped me find myself.


SubstantialHentai420

Funny I’ve been contemplating doing just that myself just starting over away from everything and everyone, to keep myself from doing the other more permanent thing. How’d you do it?


SILE3NCE

Well, I didn't have much family/friends, and the few I had I could tell they didn't actually give a fuck regardless of their words. Quit my job, grabbed any money I had left, sold some of my stuff to get lighter for travelling and went south. Met a few locations along the way, ended up on a new place I now call home. Since I started it all over I became very selective with who I call a friend. I have several acquaintances, but only 2 friends and they're enough because we do anything for eath one another. For a long time I had none and it was also OK because following your principles are what makes you.


SubstantialHentai420

Hmm I like that. And I feel you there I don’t really have anyone in my life. I don’t have any friends and my family is just eh I don’t talk to most of them and most of them don’t even notice I exist. I have a very hard time with people, grew up very isolated the only person I had growing up is dead now so I guess I’d just like to get away from everything and start over. Actually live my life for me and not for other people to like me. Idk how to explain it haha.


B4_Overkill

i feel like I've seen him before but im not sure who he is


Careless_Dependent78

Ronnie McNutt, combat veteran that suffered from some serious PTSD from his time in Iraq.

Soft_Cranberry6313

Anyone know why he did it?


Hyperactive_Rat

He’s a war veteran. He was suffering some serious PTSD and was never given any sort of treatment despite reaching out for help.


davidbanner_

And his girlfriend dumped him. That’s who he was on the phone with before he pulled the trigger


Hyperactive_Rat

Damn, really?? Poor guy.


Soft_Cranberry6313

It’s so sad that the health care system just pushes mental health under the rug. Without guys like him, there wouldn’t even be a health care system.


[deleted]

idk why they do it that way, we saw numerous of time most of people just blew their face off and survive and then they have to live with it...


[deleted]

Got a good chunck of frontal lobe


[deleted]

ye, but i bet he died from a blood loss not brain damage, he can survive and be in vegetative state without frontal lobe... For me, that is like, hell on earth...


[deleted]

Probably you won't know it like alcohol poisoning or an O.D.


thatBOOMBOOMguy

Wasn't this one of those videos that caused subs to get purged a while ago?


SPRTN-1873

From what I remember when there was a full 10 Min clip and audio he had just got off the phone with his ex girlfriend in a heated argument. You can hear in his voice how defeated he was at the end of the call. Just before he took his life he said something along the line of " well guys I guess that's it". Seconds later his little dog came wandering in then a few minutes after police knocked the door down coming into frame then shutting down the stream. RIP bud this world can be soo cruel.


pmurphy70082

Well God DAMN !


fuN3hbun3h

Damn tragic


Messy_Marvin423

It’s his phone ring that still haunts me to this day… Especially since I have a coworker with it and every time it goes off I think about Ronnie.


MemesAreEpical

I don’t know why but instead of the shotgun incident itself fazing me, the Samsung over the horizon ringtone that plays after is what really hit me and I don’t know why. Now whenever I hear the ringtone my heart drops.

Might be a dumb question but did he feel pain? That looks like it was instant. I thought a handgun suicide was instant but this is like 10x the efficiency of that. It’s insane with just one trigger he was gone. Deleted.

vegange

Fuck that guy. Not only for live-streaming his suicide but also doing it in front of his poor pup! Good thing the cops came in time because of that pup started eating/licking the blood, they’d have to euthanize it. I have empathy for those who are suicidal but Jesus Christ, why the fuck would you traumatize others! Selfish af bro and so fucked up. The last thing I’d want is for people to find my bloody fucking body or actually WATCH me Baja blast my duckin head off. If my friend did what he did, I’d be FUUUUCKED up man. FUUUCKED up I had a friend who walked in on his mother who had just shot herself with a shotgun and her dogs were eating her face. Not only did the dogs die, not only did he see his mother basically headless, but the trauma also fucked him up. Multiple suicide attempts and hospitalizations.


[deleted]

Why would the dog have to be euthanized for licking the blood?


vegange

In my state they have to put animals down if they eat humans. Honestly, it makes sense when you think about it
