Thornton also was carrying some type of protest sign.
Anything to avoid pointing out the fact that he was another leftist nutjob.

Capitol Police Chief Kim C. Dine said at a press conference Saturday that the sign pertained to “social justice.”

I’m pretty sure it said to “Tax the 1%”.

Apparently, his “sign” was “tax the 1%”. The guy was a typical lefty.

I prefer the phrase "an individual of loose screw-age."

According to his Facebook account Leo Thornton is an anarcho-capitalist and was a Paulian.
That's why I love Facebook: Though I'd never participate by creating my own account, every time some wackjob or criminal makes themselves infamous on the Internet through some horrid crime or berserk action, you can almost always find their Facebook page immediately. Tells the whole story almost every blessed time, with pictures even!

He killed himself because he believed the Democrat lie that the “1%” don’t pay taxes. In other words, he killed himself because he was a moron.
That qualifies him for the Darwin Award.

Funny coincidence.....happened on the same day Shillary announced. ;D
It’s a sign.
