A Key West resident who police say was distraught over the presidential election results and worried about his business has apparently killed himself.

Police say they found Henry Hamilton’s body in his bedroom Nov. 8, along with a living will with handwritten words “Do not revive! (expletive) Obama!” Two empty prescription empty pill bottles were in the dining room. …

people posting much worse than that, including direct threats, without “knocks on the door”.

It wasn't one of "his people" (Holder) doing the knocking...

According to the article, a tanning business. Doesn’t say how many employees he had.

The tanning tax (paid only by white people) was probably hard enough on the guy already. Add Obomacare and "tax the rich" to that, and the man probably had nothing left.

But hey, at least the democrat bimbo down the road got free birth control pills, right?

Doesn’t necessarily remove the ambiguity, though, especially in the full paragraphs. Back in the day, “partner” always meant business partner.
Hamilton’s partner Michael Cossey told Key West police he last saw Hamilton when they watched the election results together. According to the police report, Hamilton was upset and said, “If Barack gets re-elected, I’m not going to be around.”

Cossey says Hamilton was anxious about his* tanning business. Police say Cossey found Hamilton’s body after returning home from a night of playing cards with friends. …
* Not “their”.

You know you’ve lost your damned mind when you start thinking like Klebold and Harris. Which incidentally, you are.

A tanning business in Key West?

Seriously?

Did he rent beach space or something?

The person you’re replying to still nailed it: misplaced faith. That will always cause despair.
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. / For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. / Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. / For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

— Jeremiah 17:5-8

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The final straw was when he was sued by A-A’s for not giving them a discount in the tanning booth because they didn’t need as much time.

Then again, why would one think there would be a profit in a tanning salon in South Florida?

As to it possibly being an ‘animal tanning company’, I find it hard to picture people with ‘partners’ being in that kind of business - and I would think that someone in Key West when mentioned with partner- if it didn’t signify ‘tennis, bridge, business etc’ one would almost have to assume it was a life style.

OK, look, if he operated a tanning business, he was in deep trouble financially no matter who got elected. They are dinosaurs. He had a bad business plan, I’m afraid. Very sad indeed. It looks as though he was gay, and the rate of suicide and mental health problems among gays is disproportionately high.

The article seems to indicate the man was a homosexual, but he was ALSO a business owner...and business owners OUGHT to know that Obamugabe is bad for the economy.

Sad to see this happen. Human life is precious, and this man’s despair is a tragedy.

Look to God, HE is above all power of men.
