XXXTentacion (TW!!)

Right looks like I’m gonna be the first to discuss this. If you don’t know him search him on wiki (not google, there’s videos of his death circulating) he had a bad past, including:

assaulting his pregnant girlfriend

false imprisonment

fighting at his gigs

robbery with deadly weapon

he also beat up a gay cell mate due to him being gay

I’ve got a few friends who were fans, which is something I’ve despised. They’re all mourning him and the loss of his music. He was 20. Whilst it’s sad a life has been taken away so young, should we en mass be mourning an abuser and violent ‘icon’? If so why? If you disagree, what makes you do so?
