I was just told that Bret Knapp passed away yesterday.
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Not my post, but such events can lead people at similar ages and beyond to ask themselves "Is this how I want to spend whatever time is left for me to enjoy?" And different people will have different answers.
All you people who unfairly bashed Brett Knapp in the past are all going to hell. Burn, you evil scums.

I do not know Brett Knapp but I know Bill Goldstein.
My condolences to the family of Brett.
I read good and bad comments about Brett and Goldstein. So I can imagine...at the funeral service of Brett Knapp, Bill Goldtein pretended to be really nice guy. (He event sent a really statement about the passing of Brett to employees). So Goldtein asked the Pastor/official who conducted the funeral service to proclaim Brett was a Saint during the service. The Pastor/official, knew Brett over the years, looked deep in his heart,tried to find a faint reason to declare Brett a Saint. But he could not find any. "I am sorry Dr. Goldtein, I knew Brett Knapp, I can not do it."
"Oh please Pastor, I am the director of the LLNS, I already sent my employees a very nice statement about Knapp. If you do not proclaim Knapp a Saint, my employees will know that I have lying all these time."
"OK, I will be very charitable to you, I will say Brett is a Saint in the service" the Pastor said.
So the pastor eulogized Brett Knapp. "...Brett was a not too good a scientist, he killed a lot of career of good employees at LLNL. He then went to Los Alamo Lab and killed off more projects and careers of decent workers. He came back to Livermore, wielding the sword, really to kill more projects and careers of decent employees. He was thirsty to destroy people's lives. BUT compared to Bill GoldStein, Brett Knapp Was A Saint."
You are a classless, clueless, scumbag. Can't bring yourself to have respect for the deceased and his family. Can't see when simple human decency requires you to just shut it. Can't see that you are a really stupid human being. Does your mother know you are such a jerk?
If Knapp has harmed any employee/coworker etc.. in any way; it is true that we should pay respect to deceased family. But paying respect to the family does not take away the irresponsibility that Knapp committed.
Reading between the lines or so in the post, it has everything to do with Goldstein.
I remember the pain that the death of James Leadstrom, caused on his family. They were hurt by some of the callous comments in this blog about his tragic accident.
Death is different. It should be handled by each of us with the utmost consideration, partly for the innocent suvivors and partly so we become who we aspire to be.
May Brett and Jim rest in peace.
If anyone sees this and wants to give any info please feel free to contact me at sunnysunshine0609@gmail.com.
