The point of the comment was. The Unabomber was in for 20 something years and suddenly he committed suicide that's so random. Epstein was in for a week and committed suicide? That's just reflags everywhere.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t random. He realized that he was going to die from cancer while still in prison. Kinda takes the will to live away.
He got moved to the prison he just died in for medical reasons a year or two ago. I expected his death immanently. If it was suicide I think the other commenter saying suicide with an already quick death my illness makes sense.
How would him being killed after 20 something years be any less random than him committing suicide?
Cause it was so random. After all these comments today I didn't know he had cancer. So yea there's that
But if he hadn't had cancer, both being killed and committing suicide would be random. So why would the randomness point to him being killed?
Cause you don't see in the news often that people that have been incarcerated commiting suicide 20 or 30 years into there stint.
I always think of red flags. Everyone should
You just keep claiming that it is a red flag and ignore my question why it would be one. Why is 'rare event happens' a red flag and not just a rare event that happened, as even rare events obviously sometimes do?
(And for the record, I don't think it's actually rare. It just usually doesn't make the news.)
