I’ve been away doing touristy things today, so maybe someone has already posted this OPB profile of David Fry.

Fry’s got some serious psychological issues, maybe what is called “oppositional behavior disorder.” I worry he may turn out to be another casualty in this stand off.

“He’s had his problems, some of which he’s brought on himself,” his paternal grandfather, William Fry, told OPB. “He gets pulled over for busted taillights, and instead of just rolling down his window and handing over his insurance, he screams at the officer, ‘What the [expletive] do you want?’ And right there, a regular thing turns into him in handcuffs.”

Fry’s anger, often directed at authority, resulted in a strained relationship with his own father, William “Bill” Fry Jr. A former Marine, Bill Fry told OPB he had a “tough time” talking to his son about a host of subjects — most notably, politics.
