Comments on: Finally the questions about the death of Officer Sicknick are getting a wider audience https://thenewneo.com/2021/02/12/finally-the-questions-about-the-death-of-officer-sicknick-are-getting-a-wider-audience/ A blog about political change, among other things Sat, 13 Feb 2021 16:23:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Art+Deco https://thenewneo.com/2021/02/12/finally-the-questions-about-the-death-of-officer-sicknick-are-getting-a-wider-audience/#comment-2539413 Sat, 13 Feb 2021 16:23:45 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=104151#comment-2539413 I also noted that Sicknick’s funeral took place only a day or two after his passing. I wondered if he was Jewish, Sicknick being a sorta-could-be-possibly-maybe Jewish name, and in Jewish tradition the funeral takes place very soon after death. However cremation is not sanctioned by Jewish law.

The name is evidently Danish / Norwegian. There’s been for some generations quite a concentration of Sicknicks in Middlesex County, NJ. In fact, every person named Sicknick recorded by state and federal census enumerators during the period running from 1905 to 1940 lived in that one county, so it appears to be one family. Presumably Lutheran.

Are we to assume that these were unrelated to their experience on Jan. 6 or what?

Yes. People have problems in living, including police officers. Trouble with wives, girlfriends, kids, finances, health. And sometimes its just baffling despair.

Are we to assume that these were unrelated to their experience on Jan. 6 or what? At one point it seemed that they were being officially treated as being related, but now they are not included by media in the death toll of five. It seems extremely odd that two police officers who happened to be on duty would have had underlying suicidal tendencies that were triggered. But no explanation seems to be forthcoming.

A Girl’s gotta do what she can to get by, you know.

Please neo, no cavilry.

Did not further investigate.

I don’t know if that was in response to his prior wishes or that of his family. And of course some religions demand burial very quickly after death, so a parallel viewpoint might have been operating here.

But given the large amount of (at least public) uncertainty about what had happened, and that we now have modern refrigerated morgues, I found the move towards cremation to be rather rushed. Are we sure that all relevant physical and medical and forensic evidence has now been obtained and is available for law enforcement use and / or public explanation? I can’t say just how long of a delay might have been wise in this circumstance, but I would not have felt a three week to three month “time out” was unjustified, to help ensure any later developing information was integrated properly into this very complicated event.

I now know where to send my Nigerian princes and Brooklyn bridge salesmen. Sad how far and total has been his fall. TDS led to self-defenestration.

McCarthy appears to have spelled “WRONG” incorrectly. There is absolutely zero evidence that the fire extinguisher episode happened and plenty of evidence suggesting it did not. That isn’t “murky”, it’s flat out wrong
