/u/utamog: continuing here since the other chain was locked.

>Isn’t this article saying that an assault robbery was what snapped him in the first place?

No, the article is giving you a sequence of factual events. Any causal relationship is inferred only.

>You are advocating to let him out on bail so he can harm his wife more?

No, I'm taking issue with the comment by /u/NetQuarterLatte suggesting that his suicide was preventable by getting tougher on crime.

What's more likely: that Rikers is a horrible place that makes people want to kill themselves, or that getting hit in the head is the one-and-only reason he harmed his family?

/u/NewQuarterLatte purposely blocks users they disagree with in order to block them from commenting on any comment chain they’re on to avoid confronting any pushback to their ideology.

That's way funnier than my assumption about his post being deleted by mods.

It might be cute if they weren’t using it to constantly platform unfounded conspiracy theories and frame progressive boogeymen at every opportunity.

Maybe it's not as funny in the macro sense, but the sheer fragility required for an individual to shut out all opposing thought on purpose is mind-boggling.

Oh, and /u/Grass8989, since I can't respond in-line below after I got blocked by some fragile republican, here's what I wrote to you :

Sorry if it sounded like I took a stance on whether his should be a bailable offense.

I was strictly criticizing /u/NetQuarterLatte's view that being tougher on crime would've prevented this suicide.
