I wasn't aware of that, but I say that's an indictment of their organization; a small org that doesn't ever get beyond charity work and the occasional street protest could not save him from despair. A few thousand likes on Facebook? Is that the height of the organization he could join in his area? I'm sure they're trying their best, but we have to get organized on a much larger scale to be able to do anything that matters.

Beyond being an indictment of their org, that's an indictment of us all. We are not organized enough. Not even close.
