Mead 04/09/21 2:42:36 AM #8:	RIP I hope the people who tried to blackmail him are found somehow and held accountable. In my opinion should be charged with murder. Not contributing to accidental death or homicidal negligence or something else like that either. Murder. It reminds me of a character in the show Euphoria who ends up ~~doing this to multiple characters to manipulate them into doing horrible things~~ and I have never hated any fictional character as much as I hate that guy. --- YOU control the numbers of leches. -Sal Vulcano <cite>Mead posted [p:952631484] in 15 y/o Kid...
