Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Man Commits Suicide At Ground Zero To Protest Bush

HeadlineNov 08, 2004

Meanwhile in New York a 25-year-old man from Georgia killed himself on Friday at Ground Zero apparently after becoming distraught over Tuesday’s victory by President Bush. News reports indicate Andrew Veal bought a shotgun the day after Bush won and then drove to New York. His friends said he opposed the Iraq invasion and had supported John Kerry’s campaign. A co-worker said “He cared about politics, people and the state of the world. Andrew was definitely sending a message. Certainly, it was a protest.” His body was found on Saturday morning.
