My guess is this guy was a time-bomb but the left-crazy Berkely environs prevented him from getting the help he needed.
OH, I think that really marks him as a nutter. I'm not the slightest bit surprised that he came to a bad end.
Not answered as far as I could read..... where did he get the bag in a solitary high security cell?
Autoerotic asphyxiation?
``I'm sure they'll look at that,'' Cursi said, ``although I don't know what kind of alternative there would be.''
An alternative would be to provide them with a bag while they are escorted through the jail and then retrieve the bag from them after they are finished using it.
Jailhouse suicide is a serious problem. Often people wake up in jail (particularly after a drug or alcohol induced bender) and are in a state of hopeless despair. For most people, things aren't really as bad as they seem but at the time it feels things couldn't possibly be any worse.
Yes, I've woken up in jail a couple of times. I know how it feels.
California is minus one worthless piece of trash.Another is driving down Interstate 5 right now to take his place.
When can we expect you?

Gee, he's mentally ill? What a shock.
3rd para from the end:
"The bag Martinez apparently tied around his head was a see-through plastic bag used by inmates to carry their possessions when they are moved around at the jail, Cursi said."
The Naked and the Dead
Man. That's just messed up.
Okay. About as much "Courage" as liberals denouncing McCarthy, Nixon and the War.
They seem to be big on this "courage" thing as long is it doesn't mean anything good for the country or for society.
Have the authorities every hear of mesh bags?
I was thinking the same thing, if you read between the lines. They wouldn't come out and say it directly in the article, of coursee.
"Interesting. He turned out not to be Mr. Harmless Happy-Go-Lucky Liberal, as he was portrayed in the media."
Yep. A guy with serious mental and behavioral problems. Just some quirky, good hearted nudist to the media.
You need to watch this:

The funniest thing about it is not that he streaks in front of the camera, is is that he does so, ripping one as he runs by, and the camera guy doesn't miss a beat! It is a riot!
That would be WAAAAY to judgemental.
"They seem to be big on this "courage" thing as long is it doesn't mean anything good for the country or for society."
They haven't a CLUE what courage is. The person just equated being a raving lunatic to having courage.
Analogous to, "Charlie Manson had a lot of courage to show up in the courtroom with that swatika tattoed on his forehead."
