"The bag Martinez apparently tied around his head was a see-through plastic bag..."

True to his vision to the end...

Earlier that year, he was expelled from UC after school officials rewrote the campus dress code to ban nudity.

Berkeley did this! Left wing nuts get it right? What will they thing in San Francisco.

This is really strange... Out of the blue, on Wednesday, I had the sudden thought "I wonder what ever happened to the Naked Guy?"

I'm serious...

Cue "Twilight Zone Theme" music...

``He was in a maximum security area, where checks are made hourly,'' Cursi said. ``He was a high level security inmate because he had a history of assaultive behavior.''

Interesting. He turned out not to be Mr. Harmless Happy-Go-Lucky Liberal, as he was portrayed in the media.

The demons could no longer express themselves, with him being locked up in jail, so they drove him to death.

Acts 19
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Naked is good...plastic bags on the head is bad...mmmm'kay?

[Mad Dawg]

My impression is that when crazy people get naked inapprpriately, you're in for a whole heap o' trouble. I'm told that it's often a prelude to a suicide-by-cop situation.

My guess is this guy was a time-bomb but the left-crazy Berkely environs prevented him from getting the help he needed.

Martinez grew up in Cupertino, where as a junior high school student, he refused to wear Nikes, Reeboks or designer clothes like other classmates

OH, I think that really marks him as a nutter. I'm not the slightest bit surprised that he came to a bad 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.

``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.
