He led police on a drunken high speed chase through residential neighborhoods.
He resisted arrest when finally stopped even though the other two people in his car complied ( and amazingly weren't beaten).
While resisting, he struck officers and wouldn't comply to any verbal commands. He withstood a hit from a taser.
He deserved to get his ass beat. He endangered the lives of innocent residents, the others in his car and the police.
I have no sympathy for him.
I purposely did not even mention my feelings about the event that brought him "fame", because they have no bearing on the fact that he is dead, after fighting many demons for so many years.
So, the punishment for being a belligerent dickhead and making some really bad bad choices one night should be a life filled with sorrow and a death at a young age huh? Gawd almighty I can not think of anyone I know that would still be alive if that was so.
Glad that you have never done something dumb as fuck and actually lived to regret it.
How about you show me where I said he should have a life of sorrow and a young death. Oh that's right. You can't. You can't because I never said that. I said he deserved to be beat. He did something incredibly stupid and sometimes when someone does something incredibly stupid then yes, they should get their ass kicked.
As for where he was in life...all a direct result of personal choices he made. If his life was shitty and full of demons then it was because of his actions. So no, I don't have sympathy for that. He lost count of how many times he had been arrested and couldn't say how many dui's he had. That's not the type of person I put on pedestals and turn into a martyr.
i agree with Aileen on this one.
he knew right from wrong. he made shitty choices and put innocent people at risk in the process. if he'd stopped when he should have done then he wouldn't have been beaten.
addiction of any sort is hard to beat, however, if you want to you can kick those addictions. as for demons....there are alot of us with them, but not all of us choose a path of self destruction. now if you do that all by yourself them cool, do as you will with your own life. the trouble is though that addiction rarely involves just the one person, and others get dragged along too....family, friends, innocent people they steal off of to feed the habit. the list is endless.
maybe if this guys demons were so desperate that he couldn't stop his addictions, and was unwilling to get help. in which case i think his death is probably a blessing for him, and at least his influence on others has stopped.
i'm not going to make out he deserved anything more than he got, or that his death is a loss for anyone other than his family. his family have my thoughts because he's probably put them through a hell of sorts over the years.
