      People contemplating suicide tend to do that. They put on a false front, saying that they’re okay when they really aren’t.

      Couple that with a bad session in front of the appeal judges… and yeah. You can see why he did it.

      A 7-year legal battle to overturn his loss of the lawsuit against Boeing for their retaliation over his whistleblowing… And it was looking like the final appeal, his final chance, was slipping away.

          As evil as Boeing is, you have to give John Barnett his agency. He made that final choice.
