A heluva way to go.
I know many me included have some snarky comments right at our fingertips, but this just seems tragic in so many ways.
Prayers for his soul and his family.
Fedgov, we’re here to help!
Did he die or just run out of gas?
You do know that you can REFUSE that request, no need to feed a delusional man's mental disorder. Unless he proclaims himself to be a girlie, then no dissent is allowed.
Most of the time suicides (jumpers, pills, guns, hanging/asphyxiation) don’t make the news (they are deliberately kept OUT of the news) unless they include murder/suicide, suicide by cop, or a celebrity.
And when someone kills themselves, their message is kept OUT of the media (to keep from feeding the notion that this is how to get on tv). But viral videos are the new thing so snuff films are now legit.
Chances are, this was simply a sad case of a man with paranoid anxieties, possible with a history of schizophrenia.
There is also a chance that what he said had some modicum of truth to it.
During the Obama Years, there was a strong push to encourage
voters to accept stricter gun possession laws. Some speculated that that Administration had some manner of influencing individuals who were already in a mentally vulnerable state. Ever since the episodes of James Holmes aka The Joker and Adam Lanza, aka The Sandy Hook Murderer,
I don’t know what to think.
Have you noticed how since Donald Trump became President, the number and the frequency of mass shootings on American soil has gone way, way down? I have.

horrible painful way to die.....
guy must have been totally mental
Where was this? It’s unclear in the article.
Well I guess that was the point.
It Happens
I am reminded of Dr. Bruce Ivins.
I don’t know the history of this man, but the FBI does have a history of harassing people until they break.
I would say he is crazy, but seeing the absolute asshat who runs the FBI, I believe him.
Not all details are known, but that is an ugly way to commit suicide
Sounds like the guy who kicked off the Arab Spring in Tunisia by setting himself on fire.
Given that whatever investigations the FBI may have had of him are now effectively closed, will the FBI release his files, if any, to the public? If they deny there are any, would this be because there really aren’t any, or because they destroyed the records as part of a coverup?
OMG! Was this man a veteran?
He certainly needed help, years ago.
Prayers for him and his family.
There was some idiot Quaker back during the Vietnam war who set himself on fire outside the Pentagon- while hanging on to his poor child. The child survived, while even bigger idiots praised the fool.
