It never ceases to amaze me how self-righteous, judgmental, and hateful people can become toward something they have ZERO knowledge of. For mental health, comments sections are best ignored, but I can't. It's like picking at a scab.

A very sad outcome, with lessons to be learned by us all. Thank you, Kapman, for your recount and your service. RIP, good man.

Best of luck dude. Stay warm.
