    It’s very sad that he wasn’t able to get whatever help he needed before doing this. Reading his posts, he was very clearly unwell.

      Definitely. I only read part of the one post (the “manifesto” or whatever we’re calling it) and he talks about how friends and family don’t believe him. They could’ve seen the warning signs. No idea if they tried anything or what they tried. It’s hard to force people to get care.

        Getting care also isn’t free in this country and completely unaffordable to almost 50 million Americans.

      It happened right in front of a CNN reporter while she was on air, basically telegraphing his death live. Felt real bad for her, could tell she was pretty shaken. She’s a legal reporter not a war correspondent, probably hasn’t seen something like that before.
