I know many me included have some snarky comments right at our fingertips, but this just seems tragic in so many ways.

Prayers for his soul and his family.

Did he die or just run out of gas?

, according to video of the incident filmed by a bystander at the man's request.

You do know that you can REFUSE that request, no need to feed a delusional man's mental disorder. Unless he proclaims himself to be a girlie, then no dissent is allowed.

Most of the time suicides (jumpers, pills, guns, hanging/asphyxiation) don’t make the news (they are deliberately kept OUT of the news) unless they include murder/suicide, suicide by cop, or a celebrity.

And when someone kills themselves, their message is kept OUT of the media (to keep from feeding the notion that this is how to get on tv). But viral videos are the new thing so snuff films are now legit.

Chances are, this was simply a sad case of a man with paranoid anxieties, possible with a history of schizophrenia.
There is also a chance that what he said had some modicum of truth to it.

During the Obama Years, there was a strong push to encourage
voters to accept stricter gun possession laws. Some speculated that that Administration had some manner of influencing individuals who were already in a mentally vulnerable state. Ever since the episodes of James Holmes aka The Joker and Adam Lanza, aka The Sandy Hook Murderer,
I don’t know what to think.

Have you noticed how since Donald Trump became President, the number and the frequency of mass shootings on American soil has gone way, way down? I have.

I've been teaching this for 12 years: Family-to-Family and hate when I hear stories like this. Too often is is someone suffering with mental illness and not getting the help they so desperately need.

Where was this? It’s unclear in the article.

I am reminded of Dr. Bruce Ivins.

I don’t know the history of this man, but the FBI does have a history of harassing people until they break.

I’m sure the FBI doesn’t harass people. The FBI? Never. Nope. Not at all. Never.

I would say he is crazy, but seeing the absolute asshat who runs the FBI, I believe him.
