The man suspected of both the Brown shooting and the MIT murder was supposedly “found dead from a self-inflicted wound.”
This is the worst development. It will give Candace Owens years of material about maroon beekeepers. Conspiracies will never end. And it’s all because the FBI and the RI law enforcement are terrible.
I am very sorry to hear that.

The victim was Nuno F. Gomes Loureiro, a 47-year-old professor of nuclear science and engineering, born in Portugal, known for his pro-Israel views and Jewish background.
Some people are wondering whether Iran is behind this.
When the supposed shooter was “found dead from a self-inflicted wound,” this only strengthens suspicions he was taken out after being used as a tool and knowing a bit too much.

Oh, the MIT prof was apparently talking about things that challenge the Great Physics Embargo, so the conspiracy potential here is FAR weirder that you might imagine.

At least it might cause Candace to leave Erika Kirk alone for a while.

This WSJ article paints a picture of a disgruntled man, angry at academia and potentially jealous of those who thrive where he failed.
Brown was his alma mater from where he dropped out, and Nuno Loureiro his junior from the same undergraduate institution in Lisbon

Thank you so much for the link! Nobody talks about the psychological wounds of graduate students who are supposed to be blissfully happy at a prestigious place like Brown but are, in reality, a total mess of loneliness and incapacity to adapt. I was deeply depressed throughout my PhD program, so I can understand how this guy felt. Obviously, I don’t understand or condone the violence. But I get the turmoil. Especially when he is in his 40ies and has achieved nothing.

STEM research is particularly brutal and goal-driven. The pressures to get grants, meet deadlines and deliver on milestones keep the faculty on an intellectual treadmill where graduate students can be treated like cogs in a giant machine — if you are slow or do not perform, you are thrown in a heap of underperforming losers and replaced. I myself can attest to this when a couple of my graduate students went through a difficult and depressive period of de-motivation and ennui during Covid-induced lockdown and there were delays in completing some manuscripts — the program manager called me after I submitted my annual report and complained about lack of productivity in that year. When I mentioned the problems brought about by isolated lifestyles of students during that period, he said “well, lockdown was for everyone. You need to find better students then.” I am sure he was himself under pressure from his seniors to show the deliverables on his portfolio. We never get off this cycle unfortunately, with apparently no end in sight!
