Gearjerk,

My apologies; I didn't mean to dehumanize this guy in front of his friends and loved ones.

Unfortunately, the manner in which he chose to go was way outside the bell curve. To the media and millions of complete strangers, he's just a nutjob who exchanged all his tomorrows for a mention on the nightly news.

If he had just popped the slide and ran across the ramp we would all have a good chuckle, and his kids wouldn't grow up wondering why daddy killed that lady.
