Not only the audacity, let’s not overlook the hypocrisy of NBC to cover this story, when what they do best is pander to criminals rather than victims.

To think he didnt even try to stop them, and he sheilded his friend and he's the "star." May his eternal light forever shine down from heaven, filled with peace love and happiness with no concern for how his passing took place. God bless him and his family for raising from what I hear and see an example of a beautiful person inside and out. ❤

It's ironic how people only seem to care when it directly affects them. The rest of the time, we're dismissed as "deplorables" who want criminals locked up and are labeled as racists. It's sad that it takes the death of a well-known and respected person for people to start discussing lenient crime policies.

I bet they'll need to announce a "tip" reward before anyone comes forward with information...it's L.A. afterall.
