I am proud to be a fan. As the site indicates, this does not mean I endorse his actions. It means I read his note and I understand and sympathize with how frustrated he must have been.

May he rest in peace, and now guide us from above that we may find the way to end the reign of tyrants without senseless loss of life.

RIP young man.

I wish you didn't do it but I can understand how desperate and alone you felt. I wish you had a blog to go to that you could have shared your frustrations and had some support, from those who understood what you were going through. As things continue to deteriorate I suspect you are just the tip of the iceberg.

What a great tragedy to lose someone who tried so hard to do things by the book. Who wanted only to work and be a positive force in life.

Dear Sir, may your death not be in vain. May we be more compassionate and understanding of those who are in your shoes. May we learn and may we forgive.

It is funny how quickly bitter hurt can melt.
Peace, friend.

Well, let me be the one and only then.

We are all mortal, we are all going to die one day. When we do, the media will make mincemeat of us, because we are all also "sinners" and have done stupid things in our life. (If you are really Jesus and have led the immaculate life, they will lie and slander you anyway.) I do NOT condone what Joe did, I also do NOT condone slandering dead people.

I grew up in a more genteel society, where we did not watch people die on TV. We did not even discuss deaths until family members were notified. And then, for a few days while the people who loved them grieved, we DID NOT SPEAK ILL OF THE DEAD.

I think it was a good thing. No worries though, I promise to dog pile on and talk about what a whack job YOU were when you die, since you all seem to think that is the appropriate way to behave. I think I will start with tales of what moral cowards you were, how you would always talk a big game about standing up for what was right, but then never do it if there was any personal risk at all. (And of course this is sarcastic, "you all" really means YOU only if the shoe fits.)
