He was not violent himself, but he celebrated the violence and stood cheering with Vanguard and other Nazis. He was outed for this.

Thank you for handling this topic with sensitivity. I'm a suicide survivor. A few years back, the organizers of a certain gaming conference were under fire, and there was a boycott. One of the con volunteers died by suicide... 1/2
-
One of his friends was mourning the loss, and some SJWs were attacking that friend, blaming his involvement with the conference for the suicide. It was very low class and extremely triggering to me to see a friend of mine RT the exchange. Then she wouldn't discuss it with me. 2/3
-
The memory of that is still painful to this day. It broadcast to me that these so-called safe people weren't always safe if you got in the way of their political agenda. So thank you for making your point gently. 3/3

If it can be told, what convention? I keep track of stuff like this and i apparently missed this incident.
-
PAX. This was circa 2013, when the "dickwolves" controversy was still hot.
-
Aha. I'm well aware of dickwolves, but i hadn't heard about a death. Suicide is pretty much always a tragedy, and i'm sorry about your friend. Some people are just assholes, and they're definitely not confined to any given political persuasion, more's the pity.
-
To clarify, I didn't know the guy who died personally.. I just saw them politicizing a totally unrelated suicide, blaming PAX for the suicide to one of his friends, while I myself was battling suicidal thoughts and had a totally other friend who had recently attempted.
-
I figure if we're trying to make the world a safer place, politicizing suicide as a lever to make some other point, without being gentle and validating to bystanders, is way too low a tool to use. We should not be using that. I feel Emily did a much better job.

Did he leave a note, and more specifically did he leave a note blaming those that exposed his identity?
