I'm a born and bred Steeler fan but I loved watching this guy play. Met him once in Gaslamp and dude was as nice as can be. Godspeed.

A sad ending. Only the most incredible pain and hopelessness leads to wanting to feel nothing.

Very sad indeed! But when I found out the news, my first reaction was...OK. You can say that I have been emotionally detached from news regarding celebrities. They don't represent the world I live in.
Not taking away from the good he did for the community (he gave back more than others), but I just find it difficult to empathize with these stories. Does anyone know that a veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes? Never saw that in a headlines, because we don't idolize veterans on the same level as celebrities.... Just sayin' http://www.cnas.org/files/documents/...llBerglass.pdf |

I'm a combat vet, and I've lost a hell of a lot more friends to suicide and run ins with law enforcement than enemy fire. It only makes me more empathetic to his families loss. A human being is a human being. His deeds or misdeeds do not make the loss any less, and how the press presents these losses is not the fault of those who pass. I promise you the American public will morn the loss of a veteran as much as they would the loss of a celebrity...It is the press who decide what you read in the news, do not let the media dehumanize your perception.It's not our place to judge or ridicule. |

I hope I'm not coming off as cold-hearted? I'm not. I just don't have the emotional attachment that comes with celebrity death(s). I never judge nor ridicule; I'm just stating how I feel (my perception) about these tragic situations. |
