At 9, you barely understand death, never mind suicide. I can't comprehend it.

I really, really want to believe most people are inherently good, but it's getting harder & harder.

I don't believe that any more either. So many people do not give a damn about anybody except themselves and maybe their very next of kin.
Recklessness, egotism and greed have become a religion. It's everywhere...

Josef Hassid (Polish: Józef Chasyd) (28 December 1923 – 7 November 1950) was a Polish violinist and is generally considered to be one of the most gifted violinists of all times.
He developed Schizophrenia when he was about 17 years old and had to give up his musical career and died at age 26 in 1950. Apart from a few short tracks ( test pressings for EMI ) there has been no recorded legacy.

Terence Judd ( 3 October 1957 - 1st Dec 1979 ) was one of the most promising pianists ever. But it was not meant to be a long career.
At only 22 years he took his own life. Here is an example of his astonishing art. Particularly from 2.10 min. in the clip below the fiendishly difficult Toccata of Barber's Sonata has never been played more superbly.
What an incredible loss.

John Kennedy Toole was an American novelist from New Orleans, Louisiana, best known for his novel A Confederacy of Dunces.

Toole's novels remained unpublished during his lifetime. Some years after his death by suicide, Toole's mother brought the manuscript of A Confederacy of Dunces to the attention of the novelist Walker Percy, who ushered the book into print. In 1981 Toole was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

People are not inherently good that's why kids have to be socialized correctly in the first 4 years of life. It actually takes some effort to make a good human being because the default is not so great humans.

I always thought the story of George Stinney was very tragic. He was a 14 year old boy executed by electric chair here in South Carolina in the forties. He supposedly killed two young local girls, but there was no evidence to speak of.

Thankfully we've come quite far since. But then again, they still blame Obama and even Hillary (despite not even winning) for all the country's problems down here.

That is a horror story mate, there's a case from a couple of years ago of a guy who was executed in the US for the killing of his family by fire. He always maintained his Innocence and after the event new evidence came to light that it was caused by an electrical fault. I'm certain many other innocent people have been put to death after being wrongly convicted.

This reminds me of another similar and controversial case: http://clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/willingham899.htm
But I'm guessing you're not referring to that because the execution was like 15 years ago (and the wife was not killed / she wasn't home at the time of the incident).

My father grew up in farm in the Midwest, a large one, that raised pork for the government under contract in those days. He and his cousin would run around all day. One night at dinner, my dad could not find his cousin. After they looked, looked all night. The next day to their horror they found him, a backbone, femurs, and a skull. He had fallen into one of the pig pen enclosures, probably bleeding. They devoured him. Dad never forgot that one.

I thought only wild boars were dangerous...

This is horrifying

Someone I used to work with told me that as a child of perhaps seven years of age, she witnessed her young sister burn to death in front of her.
She grew up on a farm and her parents had gone to visit neighbours and left them alone. There was an open fire and this caused the demise of her sibling.
