It's Bush's fault?
Goodness. Isn't against NYC laws to possess a shotgun? The guy broke some of the liberal laws he was distraut over losing. Hypocrite!
I think there was just a little bit more going on here.
It's about pre-Civil War churches in Athens, GA, apparently.

Did you notice they called his family immediately to get their opinion of why he killed himself, and then repeatedly called his neighbors?
I wish the press would leave families alone when they lose someone...so untoughtful, so crass.
The first of many poster children for the left?
Gravity....not just a good idea. It's the LAW!
You're not under the impression that he jumped from a building that is no longer there, are you?
Well, he wasn't anti-gun.
But seriously, I feel sorry for this guy. Not if Kerry had won, not if Hilary wins in 2008, or even if Ted Kennedy was president would I kill myself, although I might take up drinking.
Politics is important, but it isn't everything. Put your faith and hope in something less flimsy than politics and the foibles of mankind, son. The president of the United States isn't God Almighty.
If Edwards and Kerry won, they could bring him back from the dead. Bush's stem cell ban claims another victim.
I was lurking at the DU site and they have just about built a shrine to this guy over there. One poster did blame it on Bush. Another says "the first of many more deaths in the next four years".
On another thread they are trashing us for the Pat Tillman thread and saying "his death had no meaning" and "he died for nothing".
There are some twisted and sick individuals over there.
witness the first martyr of the anti-Bush war
With a name like "Veal", they may want to question PITA.
It's a deep pit, a fall would be fatal.
If he was indeed distraught by Bush's victory, he must've been a die-hard (die-easy in this case) Liberal for whom the foibles of mankind would drive him to do this. Stupid.
If his worst problem is that Bush was re-elected, may God have mercy on him for his selfishness.
