Chelsea Manning confirmed "safe" after suicide baiting Twitter

Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier and activist who gained attention after being convicted of leaking classified government and military documents to the website WikiLeaks, tweeted that she is "safe" after a now-deleted photo of a person standing on a ledge with the words "I'm sorry" caused concern online.

The photo was posted on Manning's account on Sunday night, showing a person's feet standing on what appears to be a ledge of a building with a street shown below. It's unclear if it was Manning in the photo.
Later Sunday evening, the photo appeared to be deleted and instead a tweet was sent from Manning's account reading, "Chelsea is safe. She is on the phone with friends, thanks everyone for your concern and please give her some space."

Kelly Wright, a friend of Manning who also is the communications director for her Senate bid, told The Associated Press on Monday that the 30-year-old transgender woman now needs the "space to heal." She did not reply when asked if Manning was seeking professional help.

When asked whether Manning had suspended her Senate campaign, Wright wrote: "Negative."

In her text message, Wright said Manning's adjustment to life outside prison has been "extremely difficult."

"I have seen firsthand and up close the violence inflicted on her by years of imprisonment, solitary confinement and torture," Wright said. "This is made worse by the impossibly high expectations our society sets for public figures, especially on social media."

Manning, whose name was Bradley at the time of her arrest in 2010, worked as an intelligence analyst in Iraq. She was convicted in 2013 in military court of six violations of the Espionage Act and 14 other offenses for providing to WikiLeaks more than 700,000 secret military and State Department documents, as well as battlefield videos.

Since was released from a military prison last year after serving seven years of a 35-year sentence when President Obama granted her clemency, Manning has now turned to politics, filing paperwork for a Democratic primary bid in Maryland.

Manning, who currently resides in Bethesda, Maryland, is seeking to unseat Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin who is seeking his third term in the Senate.

imagine being such a failure you lose the balls you still have when it comes to offing yourself

Sad!

About him not going through with it, I mean.

Don't lose hope Manning, there's still a light at the end of this tunnel and not everything is lost.

Take a deep breath and go for a walk on some park, you may get lucky and some crazy nigga will blow your irrelevant head out with a shotgun.

Right? I might not be correct, but I've personally noticed tons of people who are severely depressed always upload very blurry or hazy photos. They post a lot more selfies too, which are also very blurry.

Chelsea's done so much for marginalized groups already, such as punching lesbians and wearing $800 boots in the name of anti-capitalism... #WeGotThis

There is a law, however, barring active duty military personnel from campaigning for public office.

Shes active duty?

 

[Ravenor]

Ah I see somebody has been reading "The Phil guide to attention seeking".

 

[Power Armor]

Hopefully wherever he is doing this shit from, kicks him out.

Yes, he's still a member of the army because he wasn't formally discharged but rather convicted (which would have seen him in jail for the next 35 years), but his sentence was commuted by Obama.
I imagine he's still receiving all kinds of goodies and payments from the army for his "service".

I thought he got a dishonorable discharge as part of his conviction?

That doesn't kick in until after the sentence is discharged. Somehow the way Obama did it left Manning as still subject to the Military.

Cry for attention. You don't post yourself on a ledge. You just go there and jump off it. Most people who commit suicide are very secretive about their plans, which makes it all the more worse. You can have people with a history of depression being high functioning, then one day they go to a remote cliff, turn on their car and go to sleep. Typically depression leading to suicide has very subtle signs. Most people who want to kill themselves, really want to, don't want to be stopped, nor do they want to distress their loved ones.

Threats of suicide from a depressed person should be taken seriously, but posting this picture is attention whoring. Depressed people typically don't care about their looks and typically ignore hygiene because they're just too exhausted to do it. There are exceptions where people 'clean themselves up' just so they leave a good looking corpse. Its not unheard of. But in general, depressed people aren't going to dress themselves up.

With the hateboner the dems have for Wikileaks they might actually want Manning gone and right now is a really good time to do it, they can just blame it on Trump.
