I hear that Eric Bolling is (was) a "great dad", and really loved his only son (child?). But I have to believe that being a great parent includes setting a good example, being someone your kid can look up to. In that it seems he was an abject and very public failure.
And then I hear this boy was in school at CU-Boulder. That's my home town. I lwas born and raised there. It holds a special place in my heart. I did graduate work at the university, which also holds a special place in my heart. To think that this boy was possibly bullied by his classmates, and responded by taking his own life, makes me want to vomit.
I can't even wrap my mind around this. To me it is an illustration of how far we have fallen, how far off the rails we are, as a society. I am glad and relieved to see the people on this board mourning this death. But we are still a part of this conflagration, this bonfire of anger and hatred that destroys everything it touches.
At this moment, I don't have any hope, any vision of a path forward.
