That's fucked. Someone should write a story about it. You should submit info (with family's permission) to a journalist we trust around here.
Reminds me of I worked with a lady who says her friend in college was a major Gulf "War" One protester who was harassed and went crazy - like hospitalized crazy - who remains disturbed and medicated to this day. But she refused to give me any more info or go on the record. She was scared.
If you google Attorney Paul Sanford you will get the story.
I have posted about him before when a mutual friend told me about the suspicious circumstances of his death and the months leading up to it. He also represented the man in the case objecting to "under God" in the pledge of allegiance.
He was a very good man and in no way do I believe his death was a suicide. No one close to him believes that it was.
Bill Hicks for the win. Some of Patton Oswalt's stuff comes close to being pretty edgy, but Bill Hicks...man. I could JUST imagine what he'd have to say in a post 9/11 world if he was still alive. (Alex Jones was spose to play him in a film incidentally...and now Jack Black is spose to play Alex Jones in "Them")

Lots of 'outgrown' heroes, like Hakim Bey, Aleister Crowley, Tim Leary, Nivek Ogre, Pancho Villa. The list changes constantly, but the ones at top are the most recent. An interesting exercise.
