I do not know this man, nor do I reflect upon his politics.

I do know that dying of liver cancer is quite exruciating, based on research.

I may not favor his views or published statements, but I do not belittle his suffering or disregard the sadness of his family.

oh really? Where'd you do the research?

I thought that you built up serum ammonia and went to sleep...not painful...or developed varices on the esophagus and bled out. By that time your serum ammonia level is sky high, you're comatose or at best obtunded and difficult to arouse. If you die of liver failure then you fail to produce albumin, are unable to maintain your blood pressure and quietly slip into a coma as your blood pressure drops and you 3rd space all your fluids. In other words you turn yellow, then you die.

He was a "yippee", whatever that meant. He lived and now he's dead. Big whup-dee-doo.

The only reason he's mentioned by the AP (Al-Jazeera Press) is that he hated our country, capitalism and liberty...other than that he was just some "guy" who didn't produce anything of value, didn't affect anyone of importance and didn't leave a mark on anything but a police blotter and the vague memory of a bunch of wasted, hemp heads and free loaders...yawn, my dog "Champy's" death affected me more than this clown.

Either your comment was misdirected to me, or you think I am belittling him. My remarks had nothing to do with this individual. My reference was to the obituary 'book of style' favored by the MSM.

Agreed. My husband died from liver cancer. Not a nice thing to watch.
