And they tend to be more fanatic also.

No love for this person on my part, but that’s a shame that picture is out there. He has a family from what I read.

From Washington Post:

A couple of months ago, Noah Green left Indianapolis and moved to Botswana, according to his brother. While in Botswana, Noah Green told his brother that “his mind was telling him to basically commit suicide.” He told his brother that he had jumped in front of a car and was so badly injured that he had surgery at a hospital. Brendan Green saw bruises and scars on his brother’s body.

First I heard that it could be a person of color and that all cops are bastards.
Then it was surmised it was a Trump supporter and that it was a hero cop that killed him.
Now that it is an African American it is suicide by cop, he had lost his job, and the cops murder is no longer mentioned.

Crazy times.

It's certainly being talked about here so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

First thought was that he was a right winger, then I questioned that because of the knife instead of guns.

34. Not a follower of the "Nation of islam"

He was a follower of his own illusion of the "Nation of Islam".

It seems, at this early reporting and my armchair analysis, that he was mentally insane.
His insanity morphed things that he followed into things that they are not even close to being.

He lived in his own world, where reality did not exist.
Therefore, the real Nation of Islam did not exit.
Therefore, it could not be followed.

He was a follower of his own psychosis.
