William H. Lash III, former Assistant Secretary for Market Access and Compliance at the United States Department of Commerce (and the Department’s Head of Iraq and Afghanistan Reconstruction Task Forces), has killed himself and his autistic son.
Here is a recent editorial of his in the Moonie Times. Here is an interview he gave to the Libyan press. I have no idea why he killed himself. It appears he beat the shit out of his wife and she fled the house. When the police showed up he committed suicide and killed his son.
My condolences to his wife and family.
How sad. How horrible.
The culture of violence on a domestic scale. Home — the one place a child should feel safe.
Goddess bless all the little ones who suffering from whatever form of violence this f***ed up world is inflicting on them.
Ahhhh, Them ‘Responsible’ Adult Gun Owners!
Didn’t read the whole thing, we’ve had a rash of them locally, especially taking their kids lives, did it say anything about membership in the NRA?
Probably not they never do.
But let a Returned Vet do something and it’s plastered throughout the Reports!!!!!
What a horrible thing. My heart goes out to his family.
BooMan, I know I’m being nit-picky but could you please edit the last sentence to “he killed his son and committed suicide.” Putting suicide in front of murder is kinda creepy.
That stood out for me, as well. I was putting it down to my grammar Nazi’ tendencies
pretty sad…
