If it wasn't for Yucca Mountain and the machine poo poo of 2016, nobody on the liberal/democratic side would much have a problem with him. More or less how we "want" our politicians to get elected and stay elected, versus simply buying them and doing nothing for years. Unique dude.

Dang that’s the lead story on NPR.com. Yeah definitely needs help, it was odd how sympathetic the article is and that it takes his claim of wanting to be a journalist seriously and doesn’t focus enough on there being zero reason for him to have been there in the first place.

Always worth reminding those who haven't followed the whole saga that Caro did some Very Bad poo poo in Libya, driven by severe mental health issues. That's not in any way a justification of his completely unrelated and unjustified torture by the Assad regime, just a note that he shouldn't be romanticized or mythologized.

I mean the standard for success at this point is 1) it happening and 2) no one died or was defrauded

What'd he do? From what I remember reading through on the forums the most horrible thing I vaguely remember was I believe someone had a gun shot wound or something and there where no medics around and he took it on himself to try to do untrained doctoring on a dude.

edit: not denying he couldn't have done really bad poo poo over there, just not remembering anything in particular.

"He was an American freelance photographer who was locked up in a Syrian prison in 2012."

the article doesn't mention his helmet cam footage of trying to shoot at people.

The bolded part is uncertain given his documented activities (not that I have the specifics on hand). If he didn't harm anyone, it's a matter of pure luck. If I remember correctly, some credit may go to the locals shepherding him around who came to realize how out of it he was and kept him from doing too much harm after his firing wildly at homes and LARPing as a medic.

But I'm just regurgitating third-hand info from podcasts on the subject from years ago and occasional references in the D&D Middle East thread, so take that with the appropriate grain of salt.

Yeah, NPR is really turning a blind eye to a lot of the crazy poo poo he pulled.
