Good he eliminated himself from the Gene Pool.

But looking further down the road.
What if he had access to USAF weapons or planes?

Doesn't the DOD still do annual Mental Health evaluations, or was that tossed out with the now Pronoun mandate.

#19 Newsweek article includes Aaron Bushnell’s final post: “What would I do if I was alive during slavery?”
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, "What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?" The answer is, you're doing it.
