Thought this was terrible to begin with.

Now I think that there's a certain horrible justice to it all.

There's no less dignity in that than what he's responsible for.

I notice the Argentinian media have agreed not to show the actual suicide.

What chance our media being so restrained?

The folks I'm most sorry for are the families of his victims - they deserved a little more than him blowing his brains out to avoid being arrested and being forced to rat on his accomplices.

And I'm sorry for his own family - they have to go on living.

And I'm actually sorry for him - it's a dark, dark place he found himself in, whatever he had done.

There was an American, Budd Dwyer, who did the same thing years ago. There's footage of that somewhere on the internet, no doubt the footage of the Argentinian will appear somewhere too. Shocking stuff.
