(2) I don't call him Rich, Beebo, or Sky King. He was an ordinary guy with family and friends who are real people, now suddenly #BereavedBySuicide, like I have been several times.
He is not a hero, & his words weren't funny. He transferred his pain onto others, forever.

(3) I don't yet know what caused Richard Russell's pain and suicide, but I suspect investigators will eventually uncover it. IMO news coverage and open discussion are a good thing. Glorifying his actions & giving him credit for his flamboyant exit are not.
