Adrian Lamo, the notorious computer hacker who turned in Chelsea Manning to the FBI and was arrested for hacking into The New York Times and Microsoft, has died in Kansas at age 37.

*snip*

Charley Davidson, a Wichita police officer told the media outlet there was “nothing suspicious about his death.” It was not immediately clear how Lamo died.

(From Left's point of view,) is Chelsea Manning a "bad guy" for exposing corruption, like Julian Assange, or a "good guy/girl" for having a sex change?

I'm trying to understand why they (the Left, who commit most of these types of assassinations) would want to have Manning's "exposer" killed.

[Leaning Right]

Manning is a hero for the left as he is both a homosexual and a radical. And remember, Obama commuted his sentence. So I’m thinking anyone who hurt Manning is an enemy of the left.

People routinely died at 37 in the time of saber tooth tigers.

Thanks. That helps.

Supposition on a 37 year old dying of natural causes:
Part of his skull fell off leaving a neat round hole - that happens sometimes to the younger generation. Must be a genetic defect of some sort.

That makes sense.

In the mid-1990s, Lamo volunteered for the gay and lesbian media firm PlanetOut Inc.. In 1998, Lamo was appointed to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Youth Task Force by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In 1999, Lamo was ordained a minister in the Universal Life Church. In 2001, he overdosed on prescription amphetamines. In a 2004 interview with Wired, an ex-girlfriend of Lamo's described him as "very controlling", alleging "he carried a stun gun, which he used on me". The same article claimed a court had issued a restraining order against Lamo; he disputed the claim, writing: "I have never been subject to a restraining order in my life". Lamo married Lauren Fisher on September 6, 2007. SOURCE

He may have been a bi-sexual though. But regardless sympathetic to them.

The FBI got to him real quick.

[neverevergiveup]

How can you state there is nothing suspicious if you don’t even know the cause of death yet?

Our oldest son, Ben, died a month ago at age 36.

Straight-A student in high school, four-year letterman in golf, Eagle Scout, became a Rush Limbaugh conservative when he traveled to DC in 8th grade with a civics class. Graduated with business degree from university. Got a good job at a major bank. He had it all.

Except he was a heroin addict. And later, a whatever addict. Cocaine, meth, crack, etc. Extremely physically addicting stuff. He got addicted in college and graduated but he had set his fate then and there and there was no turning back. His life was downhill from there on.

In and out of jail and probation and court hearings and drug-testing, lost multiple jobs, lost his two kids. His girlfriend, the mother of the kids, was a druggie too. She died in a one car, roll over accident. She was high on something. Luckily the two kids were not with her at the time.

He was a smart kid, too smart for his own good as they say. My wife and I tried everything to intervene and help but nothing ever stuck. By the time admitted to us that he was an addict he was an adult and there was little we could force him to do after that. He sincerely tried to stop many times but it is nearly impossible to overcome the physical draw those hard drugs have on your body. He had hepatitis-C, bad teeth and too many other medical issues for a young man. All from the drugs.

He died by himself in an apartment with drug paraphernalia and a white powder near him. More than likely he died from drug-induced heart failure. No autopsy but the toxicology reports will take a long time to get the results.

We had been estranged from him for sometime but he reached out to my wife in December to say he had a job and was clean for almost a year. But he also had a 9 month old baby and with her mother, his girlfriend. But his good intentions were not meant to be. He left the baby and the mother alone when he died. They are living with us for the time being.

A sad end to a once bright future. May Ben Rest In Peace finally.

I am very sorry for your terrible loss. May the Lord comfort and console your family and grant the repose of Ben’s soul. I will pray that you all be reunited again someday in Heaven forever.

Hmmm ... Kinda sounds like some guy in a dark suit and sunglasses told the officer, “There was nothing suspicious about his death. You got that?”

[mad_as_he$$]

True!

[Crucial]

He was probably the guy they threw to the sabertooth to get a head start. Here, Kitty, he’s too old to be useful In any other capacity!

[HotHunt]

Thank you for your kind words. They provide some comfort.

It is a sad situation. A tragic shame.

But we are not the only parents with kids get get caught up in these destructive drugs. It's rampant in the US now.
