Interesting how so many sources are in agreement on this potential murder.

Some sources also note that he was not upset or showing any signs of distress before he died, though he was worried about Boeing's potential approach.

The gunshot wound was near his right temple. Anyone who knows about guns will know that it's very difficult to hold a gun steady while firing it near the temple area. A gun's recoil will tip it slightly upward. There are better methodss for shooting one's self. Moreover, the gun was found in his hand. So, after shooting himself in the temple, he was able to hold onto the gun as it fell? Is the Charleston County Coroner's Office report reliable?

So that's my expert armchair analysis. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm not convinced there was a motive or a believable method for a suicide.

I wonder if there was any video cams of him going to his truck?

Next thing would be to track the gun. Where did he get it, who is it registered too? Where and when was the ammo purchases? If it's a black market gun that would be a HUGE red flag, I'm going to assume he was in good standing and could have purchased a gun though legal means.

These are basic questions the police should be asking and we should be hearing about with in a few months.

It's totally possible for someone to continue holding on to a gun after shooting themselves; posturing from brain damage generally causes the hands to squeeze closed, and regardless the trigger guard is more than enough to keep a gun in a limp hand.

I'm going wait with baited breath for the FBI to do their supposed job and investigate this obvious murder.

RIP me.

John didn't kill himself.

He still dies at the end, though.

This is why you have a dead-man function, either an automated email or a trusted associate drops a parcel in the mail or smth so your story goes out anyway

When in a situation like this guy was in it seems insane to not constantly be recording yourself on multiple devices locally and streaming to multiple cloud services, and make it known that you're doing so

They still think we are stupid somehow.

No, it’s just that they know we can’t do anything about it. At this point they are just mocking us.

I think it's just a complete indifference. They way the pros against the cons and it's an easy decision for them. Control of mass media is what gives them the confidence.

That we won't do anything. It's won't, not can't. It isn't a matter of capability. It's a matter of apathy and retardation.
