Should there be a public arrest report giving a reason for the arrest too?

  I'm mixed posting on this topic as it has degenerated. RIP Ian, God bless you and your family. I pray that they have peace. The register reports that he was intoxicated and attempting to break in to a house when the police confronted him and he fought back. He got some medical attention and then something similar happened at a neighboring house on the block and he was detained. I think with someone of this much notoriety, the whole story will come out and I suspect it will be sad. In the mean time, he had kids, his family asked for privacy, I think the conspiracy talk is ghoulish. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/30/ian_murdock_debian_founder/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/30/ian_murdock_debian_f...

    To clarify, The Register is citing this as reason given by police, but without presenting it as fact or corraborated information.

    Not just a dislike of Debian, but jackstormwriter was enjoying some gleeful schadenfreude as well. Prior to his death, Ian was briefly harassed by jackstormwriter: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXguqJGWMAEYM0B.jpg:large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXguqJGWMAEYM0B.jpg:large @jackstormwriter has since deleted those tweets and disabled his account. He also deleted jackstormwriter.wordpress.com. I saved a copy of his "About" page for those interested here: http://www.filedropper.com/archive_77 http://www.filedropper.com/archive_77 While he seems just your typical incoherent troll, egging a person into their untimely demise is not something that should be forgotten.

  Murdock, it seems had an argument with someone who thought he should have known not to say anything with the police and who was very insensitive about how Murdock felt after (allegedly) being beaten up twice by the police and fined 25K for an assault he didn't commit. That person also criticised Debian. But none of the insensitive things said are are responsible for someone killing themselves. Please don't turn this into a witch hunt.

  Search first name "IAN" and last name "MURDOCK" in CA and you will find the page. Yes, the web page is very brief. No more information.
