    The sad truth is no human, drug addicted or otherwise deserves to be beaten and leftfor dead. The level of humanity today is heart breaking. This man is loved by someone. He is a son to a mother now stricken with sadness and worry. Perhaps he’s a father…he has value just because he is.We all do. To assume that it was “most likely over drugs.” or criminal activities…is simply opinion not fact. My thoughts and prayers go out to this man, and his family. Despite the lack of my personal information. I just know he is a person who is suffering now at the hands of a violent crime.
