Firstly, he did not die on that day and the M.E. stated he died of natural causes (2 strokes). I hold all human lives at the same value but can distinguish between trauma induced death and having preexisting conditions and being in an environment that could exacerbate that condition. I once saw what I considered a morbidly obese city cop in a scuffle who died of a heart attack. The person he was wrestling with was not charged with murder.

How do you go from me pointing out that you are factually wrong in your account of the facts to questioning whether I believe someone should be pardoned? I think they call that muddying the water.

After 30 years I am retiring from B&H Photo as of 05/03/24. My job is being transferred to Geoffrey Ngai <gngai@bhphoto.com>. 

Working for B&H and interacting here with all of you has been a singular and entirely satisfying experience. I want to thank everyone here who helped make it so. When I started at B&H I never expected to be here for 30 years, Now it's time to step back, stop setting the alarm clock every morning, and spend more time paying attention to my wife. 

Best wishes to one and all.
