23. thanks for such a compassionate response...
not excusing what this fellow did, but having an autistic kid is very difficult
sometimes.

he sounds like he was deluded in his politics, so it's hard to feel
sorry for him, but he was obviously mentally ill and went off the deep end.

there is very little understanding of autism, and not many resources for help in
dealing with it. i can still feel sorry for him, but worse for the little boy
