Guessing the journo who wrote this saw a bit of himself in the broken brain of Caro, and felt like he had to treat him as the hero who was persuaded to go fight because of goons and not because his brain was ravaged by mental illness.

There was another thread where it was mentioned he was likely tortured to death, and that people who suffer from schizophrenia can sometimes be pulled out of it during intense physical duress.

So while he was being tortured to death he may have had a "moment of clarity" and even if he hadn't consciously realized what he was getting in to when he was kidnapped he sure as poo poo died knowing what was going on.

That was me, and it was specifically about starving to death. The extreme neurological and metabolic changes that occur during starvation have been known to cause remissions of various physical and mental illnesses. It can be such a profound effect that simulation of starvation is a last line treatment for chronic severe medication resistant epilepsy, a treatment protocol that has been known about since ancient Rome. It's also why most major religions recognize some form of fasting ritual.

Trying to "prove" something by leaving and participating in a war where millions of people have had to flee for their lives -- and who didn't have a choice whether or not to have a war happen to them -- is a pathetic and vain delusion.

I love FBI listing him as a "freelance photographer", when he was in fact a psychotic killer.

The horrible Benghazi secret that Hillary has been hiding for years is that Caro in fact killed Vilerat. This will all come out just give it some time.

As for the tourniquet, "He had no idea how to use that poo poo." To get the doctor to safety, all of them had to scurry down alleys, clinging very close to the wall to avoid the bullets. "I could feel the shrapnel in my back, hot metal at my neck," remembers Liohn. "Kevin was in front of us, not knowing what to do. I kicked him really hard in the rear end." The problem with Dawes, reflected Liohn, is that "he arrived first saying that he was a journalist. From a journalist he became a paramedic and from a paramedic he became a semi-fighter. I think he was just having hallucinations, you know? And putting everyone at risk."

But Dawes had gone anyway and come home with YouTube footage to tell the tale. Now they were sniggering about his Syria plans. He was going to do the same again.

personally i wouldnt have included this part if my article was about some guy who was probably tortured to death and is definitely missing in a middle eastern warzone, its something i would reserve for an unlikely success story against the odds

there was a tcc thread that got goldmined where caro accused me and dethkon of being undercover narcs and we literally made fun of him for pages. because something awful definitely has the responsibility of identifying and treating severely mentally ill people who have paranoid delusions of conspiracies and persecution that end up with them joining a civil war halfway across the globe

Yeah, I remember that. That was really the only time I ever got into it with him on here, this rough internet playground. Nobody believed him anyway.

He was an rear end in a top hat for that, but he obviously didn't deserve to die for it. He MAY have deserved to die for going off to play soldier in a war he had nothing to do with, and killing people and whatnot, but that's not for me to judge.

Anyway, what can you really do? The young man was aggressively crazy and it's really a shame that he was enabled instead of given help.
