So often the RWNM has jumped to conclusions in these type of incidents to try and drive the messaging.
Why would a 26 year old commit suicide in front of the Whitehouse?
Its very sad that anyone would take their own life. If he were making a statement with this I hope his true reasons come out without being wildly distorted.
