But in my book, Kay being guilty doesn’t make Skaggs any less responsible for his own sad, tragic, unnecessary death.  He is still the one most responsible.

Fucking sad.

Nobody is disagreeing with you.

Yep. Not looking forward to it.

[BTH]

Does anyone know when the civil case is supposed to be resolved?

@Jeff Fletcher?

Also, will the Angels face punishment from MLB following the verdict on Kay?

Agree 100% 

His wife should have known and is just as responsible 

[Lou]

The Angels should file a civil suit against the family.

I can't imagine that you actually believe that to be true.

it was good schtick. i guess frank was pretty popular in germany for a while but never really found his audience here in the states.

i think it was like being wayne gretzky's younger brother.

Naw, it's someone else's fault he overdosed on oxy laced with fentanyl. If only he was given clean oxy, then he could have continued his career as the families cash cow.

I was better off not knowing.

[Dtwncbad]

I didn’t know Skaggs was a drug addict, but I guess I should have known.

[Amazing Larry]

Was he an addict or did he just occasionally pop oxy's? I don't think he woke up in the morning in a cold sweat John Belushi style begging people for speedballs. He just liked to party.

You're describing addicts depicted in movies and television shows.

They're around in real life too. I promise.

in some countries like norway and the netherlands, for example, you can buy drugs legally and while the purchase of street drugs is illegal there is no punishment and there are test areas that will tell you what is present in your street drugs.

i used to watch this show in norway where two people would discuss a particular drug of abuse in an open way. one would take the drug and the other would soberly talk with them about what they were experiencing, etc.

we could save a lot of lives if we got over the fear of not prosecuting drug users as equaling some sort of tacit approval of their use. people are going to use drugs. end of story. personally, i'd like society to just accept that as fact and maybe help prevent people from dying during their addiction when possible, while keeping open the channel for an addict to survive long enough to maybe reach the point in the road where they are ready to get clean.

Right, which is why your description of Skaggs not waking up in a cold sweat as proof that he isn't an addict and was just a partier isn't reality.

This is coming from an injury attorney: Fuck Skaggs and his white trash mom and wife.  This is just a money grab now that they let their cash cow die.

Yet Black people who are falsely convicted deserve it because they wouldn't be on trial if they weren't up to no good.

I've posted the same sentiments, albeit not in such a crass way.
