> It was all on Kuro5hin and K5 users sent him money and items and books in jail.

I don't see that as evidence of truth, whether Kuro5hin or any other internet forum. Think of the things people believe and do on the Internet.




The News Media didn't take him seriously because he was mentally ill. So he had to post on Kuro5hin and other places on the Internet.


What does that tell us about the truth of what they are saying? How do we even know that they contacted media organizations and what the response was?

There's no such thing. Look at the incredible, diverse array of news publications. Compare it to operating systems or social networks, for example.
