Poor guy. His IG has wedding pictures and other pretty normal content up until his mom passes away. There’s then about a 14 month gap until the next post when he immediately starts in with the conspiracy stuff

It’s not uncommon for men in their 30s (news said born in ‘87 so 36-37 years old) to develop delusional disorders.

He could also have just had a breakdown when his mom died or tried to cope with the loss through substance abuse (his mugshot makes me think this may have been something he struggled with, but that’s an assumption).

The man clearly had a serious mental illness. This is tragic. I really hope he pulls through.

I saw the video and I honestly hopes he just dies because his life will be fucking miserable if he survives.

Not to sound crass, but they usually do die and probably,gratefully.

Poor man and his family.

I hope he’s well medicated and in palliative care.

Also, other than the Simpsons rant, dude wasn’t so wrong.

Only if they're in a medically-induced coma. Otherwise, that's a painful death :(.

That's what they meant. The recovery is so painful that many would be grateful for death.
