What I find really sad about all of this is that it took a suicide for all of this news and outrage to surface. It's understandable but it's depressing. I think some people (not saying Swartz) considering suicide think, I'll show them, or this will make them sorry. This sort of supports that. In Swartz's case the sad thing is he probably never expected this outpouring of support. To him it probably seemed as if the world either didn't care or didn't support him. Just read the old HN post he made for legal fund donations. It's unfortunate he can't realize how most people are on his side.
