Suicide is not painless.

And you gloat over his death 💀.
You’re a pathetic and petulant child , Larry

I love stories with happy endings!

"Yo Momma!" Classy!

His last name has been printed Perma in one report I read and Perna in another. I have verified that it should be Perna. I apologize for the misspelling. I also read that he hanged himself in jail and in his garage. I have not been able to confirm which is true.

His family reports that he killed himself because his spirit was broken by hounding by the judicial system. In my capacity as a VA Spokesperson, I have investigated dozens of suicides. I have been at the scene of a handful of suicides soon after the body has been removed by the coroner. I have talked to dozens of doctors and read psychological autopsies. According to the best medical science known to us Perna committed suicide for one reason. He was suicidal. Many hundreds of people have been exposed to the same stimuli a Perna was and did not take their own lives.

I am reminded of a spectacular suicide committed by a violent Viet Nam Veteran Activist a few decades back. It was during a period of time when a number of protests about homeless veterans in the LA area were staged. This Veteran went to the 11th floor of the LA Hilton, kicked out a window and jumped to his death. Activists blamed VA inaction on homeless Vets for his suicide.

Gordon Dillow, a reporter for the LA Herald-Examiner, found that the Veteran had put his brother in the hospital after beating him with his fists and a 2 by 4 piece of wood. The brother brought charges and he was to enter jail the week after his suicide. The veteran, who had a history of violent arrests, told friends that he would kill himself, before he would go back to jail. Millions of violent people go to jail every day and do not commit suicide. This veteran killed himself because he was suicidal.

All you ever do is talk about yourself. Can you ever comment without using “I, me or my”? Get down from your ivory Tower.

And have you taken a ride down San Vincinte (where it turns into Wilshire) in a while? It’s still filled all the way around the fence line with tents of homeless veterans. It’s disgusting. I’d love for you to tell the widows and families of some of the guys I deployed with, who took their own lives, that the only reason their husbands and family members killer themselves is because they were suicidal. You are some piece of work.

I was one of the people who pushed Bill Anderson, the former director of the VA Medical Center to open his facility to homeless Vets, when Judge Pregerson led the movement. Anderson deferred to a plan developed by the Brentwood Homeowners Association, whose members included "Arnold," which said the homeless should be housed elsewhere. They have 900-acres there and could build a world class Domiciliary System for Homeless Veterans.

As for suicides, I said they are not painless. I have privately had my moment of silence for each one I have been made aware of. But, that doesn't change why people kill themselves. Robin Williams was sitting on top of the world and hanged himself in his closet. Hundreds of depressed comedians take pills and drink themselves to sleep at night and don't kill themselves.

I. I. I. Me. Me. Me. Sycophant. Sycophant. Sycophant.

I refuse to have low self-esteem to please you. Do something with your life and stop being jealous of those who have.

Nice. Comparing Robin Williams to combat veterans who take their own lives. 🤦🏼‍♂️

All lives have value to loved ones. Robin Williams may never have defended his country or its interests like our brave Veterans did. But he brought smiles and laughter to those who needed them. Being suicidal was their equalizer.
