> If you hit someone with enough felony counts sooner or later something will snap.

Can we stop the speculations until we actually know what happened? :-(



It's a reasonable assumption.

We may never know the true cause. There's no harm in discussing possible factors.


Do you really think an autopsy will reveal why he decided on suicide?


I think judofyr means that parents/friends/anyone close to Aaron will likely reveal any knowledge they have about his situation in the coming days.


As someone posted above, here's a post by his mom: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5047398

OPs assumptions seem warranted.


>Can we stop the speculations until we actually know what happened? :-(

No, because:

1) we'll never know what "really happened" (even if he had left a note stating a reason one can never know if something not mentioned also weighted on him psychologically)

2) speculation is, counter to what some may think, productive. For example, it gets you questioning stuff like the legal system in the comment above.


okay.

I am speculating that it's because of all of the anti-gun laws in America that led up to his suicide.

Can we start questioning them now?


Go ahead.


Yes. Why not?
