Hero? Obviously not. Heroes do heroic stuff. Getting dead because you're ret@rded is not heroic.
Concerns? Yes. Elevating and praising a dirtbag diminishes the stigma of being a dirtbag. We need less people like the Floyd - white, black, and every shade between.
If anything this should serve as a life lesson to every youth of what to NOT be. That being said, I'm fine if people lose interest and let it die of natural causes. I'd like the news to play something good for a change instead of the "if it bleeds it leads" narrative of negativity we've been spoon fed for so long.
