    Hesser said. “I talk to a lot of people that would cause me much more concern than him. He must have kept his anger to himself.”

    And how many other men - of the thousands and thousands mistreated by wives and lawyers - are on the brink of carnage, holding themselves in check by the thinnest veneer of civilised restraint pushed right to the limit.

    Think. 63 years old. How many of the most recent years have been made miserable with constant criticsm? If half his total assets was just $55k, he was a relatively poor man. The average 30 year old often has more. He was not a ’successful’ man, financially. I can just imagine the daily berating from a parasitic wife who felt short-changed.

    He cracked, like an iceberg breaking off a glacier.

    Bang, bang!

    I’m going to ASSUME that the lawyers at the firm
    in question were the folks that convinced this
    gentelmans ex from a divorce settled 10 years previous
    that she was now also “entitled” to half of his retirement.

    What is the traditional “cut” for law firms in cases like this? What are the traditional expenses borne by men in such retroactive “actions”?

    While I can easily how this would drive a man to snap
    in such a way, I don’t understand hitting an incidental postal worker, unless of course his prevailing attitude was a “and anyone remotely associated you” sort of thing.

    Sooo, what are the “ex”, and the law firm partners, “entitled” to NOW?
