The user also detailed past struggles with health issues including Lyme disease and severe brain fog, which he said started after losing sleep during his fraternity’s “hell week” and caused his college grades to start “tanking.” He expressed frustration about how little was understood by the medical community about brain fog, writing that “it’s absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue… The people around you probably won’t understand your symptoms - they certainly don’t for me.”

Interesting. This suspect has previously written on social media that he experienced severe brain fog as a result of sleep deprivation that occurred during his fraternity's hell week. I wonder if this will be one of his defenses during his trial.

Wow. Talk about not reading the room.

We are all tarred with the same brush here. There but for the grace of God,as the expression goes. Think about others and how this affects them.

As a person who has intractable pain, incurable spinal cord disease secondary to fused spine from T2 to S1, having multiple dealings with the DEA and medical insurance companies, despite the support of a phenomenal medical team, and now on palliative care, I will say this: all things considered,
my moral compass remains strong and intact. “Thou shalt not kill.”

No matter how bad the pain gets for me, I never think about harming others or myself.

Mic drop.

Wow…finally some common sense and basic decency! Not on GC, but on so many other places online, people are just acting like this guy is a hero…and I’m kinda over it.

I’ve gone through periods of not having insurance at all. I certainly understand how people can struggle to get their health needs met…but if someone had killed all the CEOs of all the insurance companies, it wouldn’t have impacted my personal situation. It would just be more suffering in the world.

I can’t support that, no matter what. Murder is murder, and it’s not up to anyone to be judge, jury and executioner.
