This is a follow up episode of the mysterious murder/suicide of filmmaker, David Crowley. In this episode I speculate on many of the conspiracy theories surrounding the situation and ask the important question, "Where is the line, if crossed, that the government will kill you and murder your family?" Please watch part 1 of this story to understand the context in which I rant in part 2.

David Crowley is a filmmaker who was recently found dead , along with his wife and child, in his home in recent days. I speculate about the pressures many people feel while under the obligation of crowd funding campaigns. Can a kickstarter kill ya?
