@@asmrbuddha916 You could say that he wants his adult son who he's cared for all his life to become self sufficient and live a good, fulfilling life despite his illness like millions of people with schizophrenia do. You think it's a better idea for the parents of someone with schizophrenia to care for them until they die and leave the child with no life skills or ability to live independently at all?

This incurable illness is not caused by stress and cannot be prevented by social skills ,the onset of an acute episode more than likely is caused by non compliance big taking medication prescribed to quiet the thoughts ,more men get this illness at the onset of maturity. This list soul has fallen through the cracks of being monitored+ housed sad situation when the hospitals for mentally ill shut their doors,few group homes only available to patients on meds. 40+ yrs of street people self medicating due to a mental health issue.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! It’s tragic, not beautiful! He’s damaged. He damaged his family. His life accomplishes nothing. He’s insane.

One of my best friends developed schizophrenia in his 20s . He was someone I not only trusted completely but was in awe of because of his creativity and his talent for playing instruments which took me a long time to get good at. He went away to the military after highschool and was doing well, I thought. Soon his letters became odd and he was talking about things he was involved in that were unusual and sometimes frightening. One day he showed up at my house looking bad and acting strangely and he said he was AWOL and the military authorities were after him. Next time I saw him he was discharged but drinking heavily and just in a bad way. I didn't hear from him again and a couple years later he died after drinking liquor and taking drugs prescribed for schizophrenia, which I didn't know he'd been diagnosed with. Finding out he had schizophrenia explained his change of personality but it didn't make it any less sad.
@Jeff Dick Stop your nonsensical misconstruing you moron. Most people are freakish towards schizophrenic's. The initial comment was reasonable, sound and credible commentary but you had to misconstrue. Your comment os egregious and misconceived sir so take a seat and calm the hell down. ⚠️
I cannot express how much I love this deivery. The straight-faced and serious tone is indispensable for talking about such a roller coaster of emotion. The reporter is never talking down on this man, and the audience is left with all they need to form conclusions on their own. Thank you for this.
My biggest fear is becoming severely mentally ill and becoming homeless, since I have Bi-polar disorder with psychosis. I'm normal and all, but sometimes my mania makes me think ridiculous stuff.
What is normal hun? Don't get caught up on trying to be "normal" there's no such thing. It's bullshit. U are perfect the way u are.if nobody likes it then fuck em
I love that he has respect in is community despite his ravings. If someone walked about like that were I live they would probably torment the poor man. I just wish he could be cured from his pain and suffering. Loving his little bird friends though.
There's such a fine line between genius and insanity. John leans more towards genius. Anyone having an affinity towards other living creatures (pigeons in this case) are nurturing and caring souls. Thanks for sharing. On to part two.............................
I love his story about the birds. I think the pigeons represent his desire to transcend to something elevated, to be free of the constraints of a narrow-minded and hurtful human society and the voices are the voices of those who want to keep people in line, in the world. I could be wrong. I can empathize with that. He's so far gone he's just about consumed by paranoid delusion.
That's because he is a sane person in a sick society... It also resonates with me. Someone with a great mind like his, is going to end in prison, a mental institute or socially marginalized. Most people are so blinded that they cannot see the full picture of what is really going on. If you born into a place filled with violence, lies and desperation, how can you NOT be paranoic??? the mind creates a new and beautiful reality in order to escape the insanity of this world.

Schizophrenia is a living nightmare. These voices constantly tear the person down, tell them they are not worthy to live, that they are horrible. The voices are never good or nice. Imagine this running through your mind all of the time-ALL the time. It is one of the most difficult mental disorders to treat effectively. There are only so many meds, and for some, none of them work. It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. Mental illness doesn't just happen to one person, it happens to everyone who loves them. So, so sad.
That's often the case, but it's not always this horrendous debilitating illness, I've known people with quite amicable friendly voices who cause them no harm.
angela bluebird60 - Terrance McKenna talked about schizophrenia. It's not difficult to "heal." The problem is society does not want to bother with it. Society formerly based on USA eugenics programs wish to see these people put away to prevent them from further breeding.
if you treat it like a disease it will become a disease ....you say " It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. " that is the problem , people are expected to become addults , to loose their child-soul , to get a job , stop dreaming and become materialistic rational consumption slaves ... this is our western culture and society norms ...but what if someone is scared of becoming this kind of PRODUCT .... what if the soul starts being rebellious , and trying to escape this life-plan , that is just an attempt to put you in a shape - in a box ....schizophrenia is a gift , a open psychedelic mind ... but when you are not used to anything exept " normality " , then it might scare you ... when you start telling someone who is on a trip to mental revolution : " hey youre sick " .... what is that ?! actually people with this gift can read the thoughts of others , they are very spiritual , very sensitive , intuitive , creative , they have a different way of perceiving reality than others...more deep , non - materialstic and clearvoyant ...its not a disease , you have to decode the messages and talk to the voices cause they wanna tell you something but you dont listen , just eating pills , that doesnt make it better , become more spiritual , drop your rational mind that is violating you..dive into your spirit and LISTEN ...
wow, i started out feeling a little guilty that i found the things this guy was saying a little humorous but the smirk on my face was totally gone when all his friends and family were shown, it had never occured to me to even think of people sufffering like that as people who once where no different from the norm, thanks for opening my eyes.

I grew up with a guy named Bryan who became one of my best friends. He was smart, even gifted . He could play several instruments , which took me years to learn to play well. He could pick up an instrument and figure it out in no time. Bryan was a track star and a great hitter in baseball. He joined the Air Force and rose in rank quickly. Then he started to send me letters that didn't make sense , saying he believed he was being targeted and singled out for all sorts of bizarre scenarios by different people . His brother and mom were getting letters from him that said the same type of thing. I didn't hear from him for a few months and one day he showed up at my apartment in Cincinnati looking like he hadn't had a haircut or a shave in months. He eventually told me he was AWOL and that he believed the government would execute him if he was found. He said he had information that was classified and that he needed to go to Turkey for some reason, because there were people there who could clear his name. It didn't take long for me to realize he was delusional but I didn't really understand schizophrenia at all so I didn't know what to do. I let him stay with me awhile,but finally told his brother that Bryan was in Cincinnati and they needed to get him and take him someplace where he could get help. His brother came and eventually convinced him that he needed to seek help, which he did. About a year later he wrote me a letter saying thanks for helping him out, but he was going to die, because he couldn't stop drinking and his meds were not safe to mix with alcohol. And that is exactly what happened. They found him dead in his room from a mixture of vodka and anti psychotic meds. Bryan was 25 years old when he died. I've since tried to learn more about schizophrenia. The way it destroyed my friend so completely and so quicky was shocking.
I don't understand the attitudes of people in this, even the daughter. They don't seem to be talking about someone with a mental illness (not disease, as was said by someone interviewed) they talk like he just decided to do these crazy things on a whim. Talking about being "angry" that he missed them growing up, that he was "breaking up the family" - they all talk like it is his fault.
Nikola Tesla was friendly with pigeons too. Mr. Tesla was one of the most prolific inventors and a highly educated person. He was also very paranoid. Both stories bear a striking similarity to each other.

I can relate, my mother has schizophrenia and bipolar. I am almost 30 now, I still wonder if or when I might go into a psychosis, to top it off my mother had her first psychosis at around 33, she was always eccentric but went right off the deep end after that day.
@@MrRecklessryan Schizophrenia is a disease that typically begins in early adulthood; between the ages of 15 and 25. Men tend to get develop schizophrenia slightly earlier than women; whereas most males become ill between 16 and 25 years old. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25 in women. Schizophrenia onset is extremely rare for people under 10 years of age, or over 30 years of age. okay, then ill change my response to "the likelihood of you having symptoms are next to zero"
Well as you can see my mother was one of those rare cases, being that Schizophrenia is believed to have many genetic factors I am at a much higher risk than the general population. Believe me I know more than i ever wanted to about Schizophrenia. Peace!
I would vote for him for president over Trump and Hillary Clinton any day. I think he should definitely run for president. I also think it's totally unfair that schizophrenics don't get equal treatment. They appear to be very intelligent and insightful people.
The media in the UK vilify this so called illness to make people scared of those being labelled, which further isolates them. It's part a social control program called gangstalking. Check out cointel pro, mk ultra etc. All programs designed to mind control people. Remember, the CIA invented the term 'conspiracy theory', mmm now why would they do that? It's a form of mass gaslighting designed to make the target look mentally ill. WAKE UP!! YOUR GOVERNMENTS ARE SCREWING YOU OVER!!
Exactly the same thing has happened to me in the last few months. Several psychotic episodes led me from being removed from the family home as I held mine hostage. I don't remember a lot of it. Now I'm living in a room all alone taking antipsychotic medication every day.

Did you not hear the part where he threatened his own family? You don't suffer from this so it's easy for you to idealise this illness but trust me, there are many people out there with mental illness that wouldn't think twice about hurting you.
John Ratliff, also known as “Lone Star Swan,” “Swan,” “Saint Swan” and “The Birdman,” was an award-winning journalist and poet when, in 1972, he began experiencing psychotic episodes. Eventually schizophrenic and unhoused, he made the Mission’s 16th Street his home, and its pigeons his flock. On Monday, Feb. 7, he died at 3:15 p.m. from sepsis and aspiration pneumonia at Sutter Health Alta Bates Medical Center. He was 81.
BTW true cause is deep childhood trauma and PTSD damage is underrated. Boy physica; abuse is considered norm in this sick carnivorous violent culture which is insane.
When I lived in Scotland my neighbour, who was also a close friend and a talented carpenter was schizophrenic. He was also tormented by terrifying thoughts unless medicated. He confided in me one evening while we were out drinking that he was abused as a youngster.
SWAN WAS A REALLY COOL DUDE TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE I KNEW WHILE LIVING ON 16TH & VALENCIA. HE WOULD ASK YOU WHAT YOUR NAME WAS AND THEN TELL YOU TO COME BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE, SO YOU'D RETURN LATER ON AND HE WOULD HAVE A POEM WRITTEN ABOUT YOU. THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SENTENCE WOULD START WITH THE FIRST INTIAL IN YOUR NAME AND SO AND SO ON. HE WAS SMART. A B C D E F G etc..
My dad was schizophrenic/bi-polar. He was undiagnosed for many years and unfortunately it was after my parents divorced. I am happy I finally got to talk to him a few times before he died but I always wish it could have been more
That thing he said about the pigeon was funny and clever. After watching this video I can say I don't have schizophrenia but I do hear "hateful destructive" voices in my head at times but its my voice I'm hearing and its my way of dealing with the stress of every day life. I randomly get word sequences in my head ......like yesterday I kept saying to myself at work "progressively proper".......then again a boring repetitive job can make some nuts even nuttier.
He is a good heart loving man. I would definitely help this man if I ever see him. Most people in this world are selfish, don't care for Noone but their own, laugh at and make fun of others who they think it's lower class than them.
What's the difference between schizophrenic delusions and religious beliefs? Or spiritual beliefs. I was listening to alan watts saying that we are all the same and that everyone is us etc and told my gp who said this belief is commonly held by schizophrenics. How do you know if a belief is delusional or not

The problem is that it's way overdiagnosed, like many mental illnesses. This guy is a true schizophrenic. You don't even need to have hallucinations to be diagnosed as a schizophrenic these days, where in the past it was a defining feature l.
He doesnt care about what he lost, He cares about his pigeons, he likes to be on the street and he likes to do what he does. So let him do it. as long as he's not harmful. Poking fun, saying mean things is one thing, but if you meet the man, having a few laughs with him and listening to what he has to say is another.
Interesting fact how all of these voices in different cases are negative, in other words against its carriers. Perhaps empty space is really filled with Demons.
Adoring Fan it deff is. Notice how he mocks God about his scriptures? He was a news anchor - thats all tied into illuminati - mind control. I think that had something to do with him getting this so late in life. Demons are real and Jesus is the ONLY way they will leave. Amen.
Lexxx 113 Idiot, schizophrenia = neural deformation in the cortex. People with schizophrenia have less neurons in the cortex and the conection between them is anormal. It's basically, a broken computer.
Rubies and Jaspers Jasper Before neuroscience discovered that schizophrenia is just a mental illness, and it has nothing to do with demons, religious bitches were burning people alive, because they thought that they were possesed by silly demons. Your backasswards mentality makes me want to puke. Shut your fucking stupid ass.
Rubies and Jaspers Jasper We now are very close to understand what causes schizophrenia, you can take your GOD OF THE GASP ARGUMENT in your ass. There will come a time when your imaginary stupid god will become a useless piece of shit.
Lets be honest, some of the stuff he mentioned early in this feature instantly let you know he knows what's going on. Stupid unenlightened people dont talk about these topics (due to being completely unaware it even exists). No this guy has seen stuff but had problems mentally digesting and compartmentlizing it as it would for so many others. His old friend / co-worker stands there in disbelief yet doesn't even know a rabbit hole exists.
Yeah the elites are sellouts that work with evil entities and do rituals so yes they do send spirits to ruin mankind and keep us seperated and in chaos
1:47,…I can Identify with that line,…sometimes it’s feels better to sing out loud to drown out the voices..timing, location & proximity to others can be very problematic.
What is worse, having what he has or having desperate sui cidal depression. I would say the second one is worse, although I’ve not experienced what he has
Homeless people learn that kind of living. My nieces daughter lives in the streets was badly abused by my niece and her step dad on drugs. She was born with some mental problem. Now in the streets homeless and taking it out on herself.

@Jeff Dick Stop your nonsensical misconstruing you moron. Most people are freakish towards schizophrenic's. The initial comment was reasonable, sound and credible commentary but you had to misconstrue. Your comment os egregious and misconceived sir so take a seat and calm the hell down. ⚠️
I cannot express how much I love this deivery. The straight-faced and serious tone is indispensable for talking about such a roller coaster of emotion. The reporter is never talking down on this man, and the audience is left with all they need to form conclusions on their own. Thank you for this.

My biggest fear is becoming severely mentally ill and becoming homeless, since I have Bi-polar disorder with psychosis. I'm normal and all, but sometimes my mania makes me think ridiculous stuff.
You'll be alright mate, an irrational fear if you are over 20 and if 25 even better. Go live, love your life

I love that he has respect in is community despite his ravings. If someone walked about like that were I live they would probably torment the poor man. I just wish he could be cured from his pain and suffering. Loving his little bird friends though.
There's such a fine line between genius and insanity. John leans more towards genius. Anyone having an affinity towards other living creatures (pigeons in this case) are nurturing and caring souls. Thanks for sharing. On to part two.............................
Bruh, they made a Hey Arnold episode off this guy
Lmao fuck you are right wow I forgot about that show that really was a t.v show
I love his story about the birds. I think the pigeons represent his desire to transcend to something elevated, to be free of the constraints of a narrow-minded and hurtful human society and the voices are the voices of those who want to keep people in line, in the world. I could be wrong. I can empathize with that. He's so far gone he's just about consumed by paranoid delusion.
That's because he is a sane person in a sick society... It also resonates with me. Someone with a great mind like his, is going to end in prison, a mental institute or socially marginalized. Most people are so blinded that they cannot see the full picture of what is really going on. If you born into a place filled with violence, lies and desperation, how can you NOT be paranoic??? the mind creates a new and beautiful reality in order to escape the insanity of this world.

Schizophrenia is a living nightmare. These voices constantly tear the person down, tell them they are not worthy to live,
that they are horrible. The voices are never good or nice. Imagine this running through your mind all of the time-ALL the time. It is one of the most difficult mental disorders to treat effectively. There are only so many meds, and for some, none of them work. It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. Mental illness doesn't just happen to one person, it happens to everyone who loves them. So, so sad.
That's often the case, but it's not always this horrendous debilitating illness, I've known people with quite amicable friendly voices who cause them no harm.
angela bluebird60 - Terrance McKenna talked about schizophrenia. It's not difficult to "heal." The problem is society does not want to bother with it. Society formerly based on USA eugenics programs wish to see these people put away to prevent them from further breeding.
Xanax helps very much...for me anyway. Voices and paranoia disappears
if you treat it like a disease it will become a disease ....you say " It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. " that is the problem , people are expected to become addults , to loose their child-soul , to get a job , stop dreaming and become materialistic rational consumption slaves ... this is our western culture and society norms ...but what if someone is scared of becoming this kind of PRODUCT .... what if the soul starts being rebellious , and trying to escape this life-plan , that is just an attempt to put you in a shape - in a box ....schizophrenia is a gift , a open psychedelic mind ... but when you are not used to anything exept " normality " , then it might scare you ... when you start telling someone who is on a trip to mental revolution : " hey youre sick " .... what is that ?! actually people with this gift can read the thoughts of others , they are very spiritual , very sensitive , intuitive , creative , they have a different way of perceiving reality than others...more deep , non - materialstic and clearvoyant ...its not a disease , you have to decode the messages and talk to the voices cause they wanna tell you something but you dont listen , just eating pills , that doesnt make it better , become more spiritual , drop your rational mind that is violating you..dive into your spirit and LISTEN ...

He's not crazy
I grew up with a guy named Bryan who became one of my best friends. He was smart, even gifted . He could play several instruments , which took me years to learn to play well. He could pick up an instrument and figure it out in no time. Bryan was a track star and a great hitter in baseball. He joined the Air Force and rose in rank quickly. Then he started to send me letters that didn't make sense , saying he believed he was being targeted and singled out for all sorts of bizarre scenarios by different people . His brother and mom were getting letters from him that said the same type of thing. I didn't hear from him for a few months and one day he showed up at my apartment in Cincinnati looking like he hadn't had a haircut or a shave in months. He eventually told me he was AWOL and that he believed the government would execute him if he was found. He said he had information that was classified and that he needed to go to Turkey for some reason, because there were people there who could clear his name. It didn't take long for me to realize he was delusional but I didn't really understand schizophrenia at all so I didn't know what to do. I let him stay with me awhile,but finally told his brother that Bryan was in Cincinnati and they needed to get him and take him someplace where he could get help. His brother came and eventually convinced him that he needed to seek help, which he did. About a year later he wrote me a letter saying thanks for helping him out, but he was going to die, because he couldn't stop drinking and his meds were not safe to mix with alcohol. And that is exactly what happened. They found him dead in his room from a mixture of vodka and anti psychotic meds. Bryan was 25 years old when he died. I've since tried to learn more about schizophrenia. The way it destroyed my friend so completely and so quicky was shocking.

I don't understand the attitudes of people in this, even the daughter. They don't seem to be talking about someone with a mental illness (not disease, as was said by someone interviewed) they talk like he just decided to do these crazy things on a whim. Talking about being "angry" that he missed them growing up, that he was "breaking up the family" - they all talk like it is his fault.

I can relate, my mother has schizophrenia and bipolar. I am almost 30 now, I still wonder if or when I might go into a psychosis, to top it off my mother had her first psychosis at around 33, she was always eccentric but went right off the deep end after that day.
youre over 30.. you're not going to develop schizophrenia
@@DavidPigbody Schizophrenia can hit you at any age.
@@MrRecklessryan Schizophrenia is a disease that typically begins in early adulthood; between the ages of 15 and 25. Men tend to get develop schizophrenia slightly earlier than women; whereas most males become ill between 16 and 25 years old. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25 in women. Schizophrenia onset is extremely rare for people under 10 years of age, or over 30 years of age.
okay, then ill change my response to "the likelihood of you having symptoms are next to zero"
Well as you can see my mother was one of those rare cases, being that Schizophrenia is believed to have many genetic factors I am at a much higher risk than the general population. Believe me I know more than i ever wanted to about Schizophrenia. Peace!
Read Pigs in the Parlor now by Frank Hammond. Do the prayers. You will be set free. Seriously.
I would vote for him for president over Trump and Hillary Clinton any day. I think he should definitely run for president. I also think it's totally unfair that schizophrenics don't get equal treatment. They appear to be very intelligent and insightful people.
Lol thats a joke right? That has to be a joke. The second line was spot on but running for president? Cmon..
cant phrase point off pigeon dives skitzo?
The media in the UK vilify this so called illness to make people scared of those being labelled, which further isolates them. It's part a social control program called gangstalking. Check out cointel pro, mk ultra etc. All programs designed to mind control people. Remember, the CIA invented the term 'conspiracy theory', mmm now why would they do that? It's a form of mass gaslighting designed to make the target look mentally ill. WAKE UP!! YOUR GOVERNMENTS ARE SCREWING YOU OVER!!
I also live with schizophrenia.
Stay strong Brother.
I think we all do at this point
He belonged in a mental hospital. He should have been on meds and getting therapy.
Exactly the same thing has happened to me in the last few months. Several psychotic episodes led me from being removed from the family home as I held mine hostage. I don't remember a lot of it. Now I'm living in a room all alone taking antipsychotic medication every day.

Funny that this doc popped up as a suggested video. I knew this man. Used to see him outside of Muddy Waters in the mid-90’s. I feel sad for him and his family to see that he had a family and ended up on the street due to his illness. Hopefully you all have found peace.

Did you not hear the part where he threatened his own family? You don't suffer from this so it's easy for you to idealise this illness but trust me, there are many people out there with mental illness that wouldn't think twice about hurting you.
John Ratliff, also known as “Lone Star Swan,” “Swan,” “Saint Swan” and “The Birdman,” was an award-winning journalist and poet when, in 1972, he began experiencing psychotic episodes. Eventually schizophrenic and unhoused, he made the Mission’s 16th Street his home, and its pigeons his flock. On Monday, Feb. 7, he died at 3:15 p.m. from sepsis and aspiration pneumonia at Sutter Health Alta Bates Medical Center. He was 81.

I know 1 schizophrenic person. He is without a doubt the most intelligent person I have ever known.
BTW true cause is deep childhood trauma and PTSD damage is underrated. Boy physica; abuse is considered norm in this sick carnivorous violent culture which is insane.
Is it sad that I would sooner abide Lone Star Swan as the American President than Donald Trump?
Yes. You are very sad.
I feel you bro.
When I lived in Scotland my neighbour, who was also a close friend and a talented carpenter was schizophrenic.
He was also tormented by terrifying thoughts unless medicated.
He confided in me one evening while we were out drinking that he was abused as a youngster.
He has more purpose and love in his heart than most of today's so called "influencers".
Don't forget about business men
So does anything really.
he is just real
I’d certainly give him my time before one of those.
I like your comment...❤
SWAN WAS A REALLY COOL DUDE TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE I KNEW WHILE LIVING ON 16TH & VALENCIA. HE WOULD ASK YOU WHAT YOUR NAME WAS AND THEN TELL YOU TO COME BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE, SO YOU'D RETURN LATER ON AND HE WOULD HAVE A POEM WRITTEN ABOUT YOU. THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SENTENCE WOULD START WITH THE FIRST INTIAL IN YOUR NAME AND SO AND SO ON. HE WAS SMART.

My dad was schizophrenic/bi-polar. He was undiagnosed for many years and unfortunately it was after my parents divorced. I am happy I finally got to talk to him a few times before he died but I always wish it could have been more
He chose to not go back to his family because it's the family that made him crazy
Hm
He seems more free and kind than any of you who judge him.
That thing he said about the pigeon was funny and clever. After watching this video I can say I don't have schizophrenia but I do hear "hateful destructive" voices in my head at times but its my voice I'm hearing and its my way of dealing with the stress of every day life. I randomly get word sequences in my head ......like yesterday I kept saying to myself at work "progressively proper".......then again a boring repetitive job can make some nuts even nuttier.
He is a good heart loving man. I would definitely help this man if I ever see him. Most people in this world are selfish, don't care for Noone but their own, laugh at and make fun of others who they think it's lower class than them.
He died in 2022 aged 81,
someone has painted a mural dedicated to him,
What's the difference between schizophrenic delusions and religious beliefs? Or spiritual beliefs. I was listening to alan watts saying that we are all the same and that everyone is us etc and told my gp who said this belief is commonly held by schizophrenics. How do you know if a belief is delusional or not
Very well done Roger (narrator), and Gary. RIP Gary.

it actually seems that schizophrenia has moved from a simple detour from regular behaviour to a more detailed fantasy
The problem is that it's way overdiagnosed, like many mental illnesses. This guy is a true schizophrenic. You don't even need to have hallucinations to be diagnosed as a schizophrenic these days, where in the past it was a defining feature l.
He doesnt care about what he lost, He cares about his pigeons, he likes to be on the street and he likes to do what he does. So let him do it. as long as he's not harmful. Poking fun, saying mean things is one thing, but if you meet the man, having a few laughs with him and listening to what he has to say is another.
Thanks so much for your openness.

Lets be honest, some of the stuff he mentioned early in this feature instantly let you know he knows what's going on.

No this guy has seen stuff but had problems mentally digesting and compartmentlizing it as it would for so many others.
