I don't know. I think he may have flipped and killed his family. His movie project wasn't destined for nationwide distribution, much less a national audience. But it was a White Whale in his own life.

It's a pretty hard flip, especially for someone with no prior warnings. Though shills would argue that being interested in fringe topics are warning signs.

I wouldn't argue that the themes his film project explored were "red flags". Of course I reject the government's right to pursue "precrime" altogether.

All I'm saying is this: - He was clearly a pretty intense guy who suffered from PTSD - His film project seemed to operate as an agonist for his intensity and PTSD - It's silly to suppose that the government would commit multiple homicide to prevent the completion of an amateur movie production.

It's not true, what you say about "no warning signs". His own friends in the documentary attest to his mania and volatility.

If that is true, then I would have to retract my statement about the warning signs. I personally doubt the narrative surrounding most suicides, including this one. They tend to smell fishy to me.
