He was too young to die like that.

I hate when people just accept suicide and never look for foul play unless instructed to do so. Especially of circumstances of "computer crimes" just about everyone that has gone sideways to meet there end has that weird eery sense that they knew a little too much especially when in every article anyone that knows the victim mentions they were terrified of the consequences of their actions tbh I haven't been there myself but if a skinny white gangbanger that has a nazi symbol tattooed on his face can survive in a US Jail. Was what worried me about that poor McKinna fellow in the UK. They design and allow this access to happen but slam the gate on people that use it. If they are really interested in actually punishing these people why not create a Jail system made for Technology criminals (but that might actually rehabilitate people).

May he find whatever he was searching for if it is a clean slate.
why is everyone so &^%$ing concerned with "the end"...
new beginnings is what you should be concerned about...

I have always noticed that if you question things like this you are often demonised for being disrespectful and such. Especially noticed people's reactions to others talking about 9/11. You are demonised for thinking other than what is accepted as the norm. If you don't accept what you are being told in the mass media you are a horrible person.

Well said Orcseeker. +1 Especially in a Forum such as this. Questioning the norm would be an expected of any topic as the name of this site is Unexplained Mysteries. By proposing an alternate "theory" doesnt make it fact or the poster "crazy" for suggesting an alternate possibility. In my book if you dont throw out there might be another possiblility to whats going on your running on with blinders and you might as well watch CNN for your news and never question anything. Our current Govmnt would prefer us to do just that.

Someone talked about they wished Anonymous "would just spill the beans already" (including myself).  An example of that occuring is the current talk about drone strikes approved for Americans. That came from the Wikileaks scandal. So perhaps the information is just going to be released over time as it is one of the things that anon holds the Govmnt hostage with and if they dropped it all on us. One we would be in utter shock certainly and also the thing we do hold over the Govmnt (information they dont want the World to know) would no longer have any weight.

Very true, the word conspiracy contains a lot of stigma and generally results in mockery and tin foil hat likeness. Wouldn't it be considered more respectful to pursue to truths of what happened to those who were affected? When those consider that the government or some higher ups could have done something to get a foothold in their pursuits get shunned while others have blind faith and never question anything is the "right" thing to do. That's when you know something is very wrong.

It was interesting. On the time of the 9/11 anniversary. A Facebook associate posted up something like "I feel sorry for all the conspiracy theorists on this day". I found it rather interesting, not only was she pretending to be emotionally affected by this event (lives in Australia and in no way related to anyone involved) but then later through the discussion in which I completely rattled her brain, she then brought up "I can't believe we are discussing this on this day".

I remember seeing a fox news exclusive, the name of the guy who went on eludes me but Bill O'Reilley was using the same techniques and told the guy he had no respect for his dead father. Now that's bad. It's a rather famous video and I'm sure you've watched it but I find it interesting the people who pretend to be emotionally affected or disgusted but it almost seems to be some reaction in fear.
