never liked the guy, no sympathy here. I will say that i feel for those who loved him unconditionally, his parents or siblings if any. many little children are suffering from diseases that are not of their own actions this is something to be sad for. A grown man that makes his living on being a jackass and using drugs knowing full well the potential for the outcome deserves no such sympathies. It's time people take responsibility for their own actions....just think how much money it's costing to keep him breathing right now and just who pays for that? Think about it. we spend so much time bitching about the cost of health care and people like him are part of the reason its sky high. Just like all the emotional retarded fat asses that stuff their faces into a food coma each day to drown out their miserable existence. these fat fucks are taxing the hell out of the system with missed days at work or not working at all, diabetes treatments hip surgery knee surgery and so on. To hell with these selfish people, this may sound mean but we should only help those who truly need it. Just think back to Larry Hagman of soap opera Dallas fame. He was a, and is a self admitted major alcoholic and yet was still awarded a new liver after he admitted his addictions. the liver he received should have gone to someone else.
I do not wish Derek death, i hope he recovers, i just don't have any sympathy for him or anyone who is a self abuser when it come to their health. Walking across the freeway, you might get away with it once. Keep doing it and we all know what will happen.
