As a suicide/crisis counselor (and former student at SRJC) I find no joy in people killing themselves, don't get me wrong. (Tagline refers to the political left's suicidal policies).

Disclaimers aside, the very real damage/hurt is to our political discourse which is coarsened and to the copycats who have been repeating this *kill the president* mantra for over a year (see Guardian, UK, etc, etc). Maybe this guy originated it, maybe not. Sooner or later some unhinged loser will try to be a 'hero' and act on it. People act on their thoughts and violence can be 'inspired' by twisted,hateful words and thoughts. In my business we take words very seriously. I would not hesitate "committing involuntarily" an individual who utters such words- as a danger to others. In this case maybe his twisted words caused him to end his life.

No rant intended, just concern for the health of our political system and the safety of ALL of our leaders.
