I really don't know what to think.  I know how I feel, though.

Very sad.   I believe his current cause was environmental concerns.

Precious life but wasted death!

 

I've always tried not to tread the personal psychosis behind anyone's self-inflicted death... However in this case, it amazed me that this individual would have thought his death would make a dent in the corporate greed. All the more unfortunate to think that alive, he certainly would have been more efficient - not to mention more useful to others in need of his professional skills and experiences  - in bringing about the kind of change he seemed to have targeted with his own demise. Sadly this notion which could have been the light at the end of the tunnel of his worldview, did not reach him in time. 

 

My dear brave man, did you not have any friends or loved one by your side during your darkest hours? I'm so sorry,...RIP, love.

I'll take his word that he was sincere in his message. But it was a total dud. I think that's one good thing about the incident. It's not likely to inspire copycats.
