Regarding XXXTentacion's death
I'm definitely conflicted as to how I personally feel. I mean, I feel bad, but it's not like somebody ripped my heart out or anything.
While I couldn't call myself a fan of the dude's music by any means, I have to admit that he was a talented guy and I'm glad his talent was rewarded with such an incredible amount of success. HOWEVER...from the stories of all the violent crimes he committed (which include assault and robbery among other things), it's obvious that he lacked a general concern for the feelings of others, which very likely stemmed from some mental issues that he could have sought professional help for at any time (that's what therapists are for).
In a nutshell, he was a violent man who lived a violent life. There's always a price to pay for that. At the same time, I always hoped he would eventually clean up his act and I never once wished him dead. No one deserves what happened to him, especially not at the terribly young age of 20 years old.
As unlikely as it seems, I only hope the guy made it to heaven. Whoever did kill him needs to understand that by doing so, he has not done the human race a favor. I know he had issues, but where there's one person like XXXTentacion, there's always four or five more. This is why justice is better left in the hands of God.
Rest easy, Jahseh Onfroy.
