It may be a suicide, but it just seems strange.................

I suspect that dear Prof. Adams was tired of the uphill battle. Being exposed to the ignorant and entitled on a daily basis in an effort to educate them on the fallacy of their belief system, only to have them succeed in taking him down was probably more than he could stand. My heart breaks for his last moments and for our loss of his input.

not buying this crap at all.

We may never know the real reasons..... 😷

Very true, RB. I can only look at what’s on the surface.

Since he was about to receive a sizable settlement, that doesn’t make sense! PHOOEY!!!!

Mark Steyn suggested (in an article on his website) that if he did commit suicide, it might have been done out of despair from being sued, harrassed, threatened, fired/canceled, and ostracized by peers from polite society. Simply for stating his opinion based on the Constitution.

I get Steyn’s point: there are warriors in the public sphere out there defending our freedoms in the arena of ideas. How do we support them? Steyn points out that it is with defeaning silence.

Yeah I don’t think so either. Nobody offs themselves when they are about to go into retirement with a 1/2 million payout in a lawsuit victory.

Like so many of who admired his work, I am incredulous over the possibility that he did take his own life. Hard to accept.

It’s not hard to accept...I want to see the evidence.

I find it hard to believe he committed suicide. Professional hit.

I totally agree.

Nor do I believe he was “acting erratically.” Everyone is doing differently now due to the shutdown; and it is summer at the shut down universities. What was erratic—his schedule? Everyone’s is. I’d have to hear particulars from a direct witness. I agree with the above post—where is the note? Was there a recent change in his will, or his life insurance? Did his computer reveal anything?

I hope his father and/or sblings will hire an independent investigator. Someone one FR yesterday said that the Sheriff is a Democrat.

He was reviled by his students...

Untrue. His students gave him high ratings and his classes were heavily subscribed. Campus “identitiy activists” may have hated the idea of him; but they did not know him. Those who did know him, his students of Criminal Justice, have posted heartfelt thanks and other tributes at the funeral hime obituary site one of the freepers posted above.

I’m one of many who do not believe he committed suicide. It is totally out of character.
