so the story behind this is that vic chessnut committed suicide christmas day. he was 45 and had been in a wheelchair since he was 18. with the healthcare system the way it is, he was massively in debt, was going to lose his house, and he simply was unable to get a kidney surgery that he desperately needed. apparently he thought this was the only way out. fuck you america, fuck you very much.
