The legendary Terrence Popp runs the channel Redonkulas.com. A former US Army Ranger, he fought in three wars and was nearly killed in two of them. He spoke at ICMI14, the first ICMI, near Detroit. His speech is here (45:54).
Terrence came close to committing suicide as a result of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of his wife and the American family courts system. He set a date to self-delete – his term for suicide – with a firearm but decided against it following the self-deletion of a former colleague who spent half the previous day with him, when Terrence didn’t spot the warning signs. Terrence arranged the funeral and came to appreciate the consequences of suicide to those left behind, and decided not to self-delete.
Fot some time the Poppster has focused on saving men who are close to self-deletion. His current tally is 575 lives saved. We applaud this fine man.
Our thanks to Sean for pointing us to a Youtube video (1:53:28) with Pearl Davies, published yesterday. Enjoy.
