As I said, I double checked the numbers I cited and could only find them in the NY Post, where I copied them from. I don’t consider it a credible enough source without corroboration, so I removed the numbers.
I’m in no way pitting the working class against him. I’m simply saying the type of support he needs from the masses is not financial. My initial point about him giving up a good life was intended to illustrate that he had much more to risk, and did it anyway.
That's not much better imo. Anyone would have their life ruined (and possibly ended) if they did what he did.
Absolutely. That’s my point. Prison is the same bottom floor, but he’ll fall from a further height. It shows how committed he was to the decision. I’m sure it didn’t come easy.
Yeah, and my point is it's weird how you think the only thing anyone has to lose is money. The stakes are just as high for any of us.
You’re misunderstanding my point. He has chronic back pain and additional related symptoms. His pain will likely worsen with the poor care in prison versus the care he ensure he gets at home. He has limitless resources to continue pursuing new treatments for his condition. He’ll suffer plenty in prison.
He had a lot on the line, and I believe his choice indicates his desire to impact the system for everyone’s benefit regardless of his personal repercussions. Someone in a more desperate state could fall into the, “well, what do I have to lose?” mindset.
