Soul Invictus

Yes this is very very sad. I live right across the street from where he did, and where his family lives. Small world aye? First Dahmer, then the Milwaukee Brewers sausage incident this year, and now this. Why does Milwaukee always get put on the map for some unfortunate event?

I knew who he was and the extent of condition. What is so sad about it is that irresponsible leadership and their followers get so fervent in their desire to help, that all they can see is spirits and demons in a situation, and events like this get well out of control. It's like they will lose all sight of reality. Any rational and coherent person would have known that his autism was why his behavior was so disorderly. Dealing with autistic persons can be challenging, and can make one very frustrated, as I was, when I saw him every now and then. I can't help but think about how he suffered due to an all to common "spirits-and-demons" approach by well meaning people.

Well written and far more succinct than what I would have written.
