Very sad. Seemed like a really good dude. @UAgrad93 was he at UA with you?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Oh man. Being reported as a suicide. He had a wife and 3 kids. Heartbreaking.

He came along around 4-5 years after me I believe.

Another suicide directly associated with the Clinton's?

The rumor mill is working overtime. So far, I’ve heard:

• Clinton revenge
• Response to ALS diagnosis
• Discovery of affair
• Undiagnosed depression

If you’re spreading any of these rumors, please stop. Let’s let the police do their job.

This is like #49.

Agree... Hoover PD is a pretty well run outfit, not like they don't handle stuff like this. If they were indicating suicide the day of, before it even went to the medical examiner, then there was likely ample evidence to support that. And the whole Clinton book thing, while I understand folks love conspiracy spider webs, I think Occom's razor applies well here. I just feel bad for his family, especially this 3 boys. Can't imagine the pain they have right now.

You do realize he wrote a book about Clinton and then Attorney General Loretta Lynch meeting on the tarmac in 2016 about Hillary getting another slap on the wrists. Secret on the Tarmac. Said he received death threats for him and his family. Lot of irony surrounding Clinton associates and enemies. A lot of them get suicided.

You got my point. I'm not a rumormonger.

I am one that looks and wonders, ya know? At some point, so many dots in a row end up being a line.

Is any of that relevant today? I know people want to find conspiracies (I’m not a Clinton fan - any of them) but what would be the point this far after the event, the 2016 election or Hillary’s future aspirations?

I agree, to an extent, what would it matter? I think the Clinton's are some dirty, sadistic people. Nothing would surprise me when it come to anyone attempting to shed light on their dealings or questioning their hierarchy.

Who said it had anything to do with future aspirations? You never had that one person from your childhood that you wish you knocked out or just hit for something they did to you or anything you never got to avenge? The Clinton's and other powerful people in this world have nothing but time to inflict pain on their enemies. They aren't working 9-5 anymore and focused on those layers of life. The ultra-rich and powerful think on a much higher level and get kicks out of the misery and pain of others while wielding more and more power. Lord knows it has been portrayed in Hollywood enough to give some insight. Do people honestly think movies only come from great imaginational minds, or do we think there are instances like those ideas happening around the world?

There should be a series on TV...ya know, covering things like Law and Order. Ya know, based on crimes and situations that happen in every day life.

Damn...I'd bet I could spin that off to a few things.

They still make those things?

I heard this sad news this past week in Gulf Shores. So sad for his family.

It sucks and in hindsight I hope my other post didn’t marginalize a serious and tragic situation. I don’t know for sure what happened but I hate it for his family and indeed for him if he did in fact feel that was his only recourse
