      The issue was that he threatened to detonate a bomb if the coast guard got close. He also said he had knives and would kill himself.

        The reason this escalated is they were harassing him. They detained him for days, looking for a problem that wasn’t there.

      He definitely would have died at least twice if not for coast guard intervention, and it seems like that’s what he wants.
