I tried to. Apparently he claimed to have been harassed by the police, but he also was said to be incoherent and violent in his behaviours. Bruce Perens unnicely -at my opinion that is not the most reliable in the world- disclosed his mental illness. 1 day after on his blog and /. The family also asked for discretion. A wish that has been followed by the majority of the community. Except people like me. Because, well, I wanted to understand. I tried to see for similar cases with google news what happened, and a non scientifically screening of hundreds of case in the USA would tend to suggests that if the victim is categorized mentally ill then news about police violence does not seems to make it higher than local news. I am just a little pea on the internet, I have no way to confirm my conclusions are right. It would require a true journalistic investigation to infirm of confirm the case. The conclusion I drew for myself having attended FOSS for 10 years as a topic organizer in conferences is the level of freaks tended to be higher than on average. Still not a scientific conclusion. I naively expected the community to be aware of that. My naive expectation is that the society would recognize the positive contribution of FOSS to the IT thus to the economy and thus would try to push harder on this case. Apparently I am naïve or delusive according to the feedback I had on this story. Well, I encourage people to make their own opinions and investigate with their own means. I am still a tad disappointed in my expectations.

    Ah? I did not even knew about it. What is hellban? Is it what we called trollcaved in the old days? I was finding something was weired and coincidently used an old brower with one of my old credential in it. Just coincidence. I did not even cared.
