You been through some shit, I get that. Just try to remember the perspective that you’re absolutely right, we in the end don’t know shit. With that, understand people will make assumptions based on the little information they have. Everyone does it..
Your anger should be with the news organization who wrote the information not the people reading that clip and discussing it. If what you say is true (I don’t know) it’s on the journalists to get the facts right, if they deceive readers it’s their lies.
Also I leave with, it doesn’t matter if he was a heroin addict or not. That has fuckall to do with who he was as a person. Even the best people on this planet get caught up in these drugs. It shouldn’t matter one way or the other. I was a heroin addict myself, I’m now what society would consider successful, that was just one minor phase of life that didn’t define me as a person.
One final note. This was over a decade ago and the people you’re responding to are probably all gone by now.
