Thanks for a cogent reply.
As I wrote elsewhere, Moonie and Nikki Sixx took a ton of drugs and booze. Their escapades would have killed mere mortals. And yet Nikki is still alive and before Moonie succumbed to Hemineverin/an anti-alcoholism drug (ironically) he set the record for living after overindulgence.
Many people are saying Floyd OD’d. They base that on the level of drugs in Floyd’s body. What they aren’t considering is Floyd’s ability to be Nikki Sixx. Parenthetically, just copying and pasting cherry-picked elements of the autopsy - claiming “If not for 𝕏, you’d probably never see this” when the whole autopsy is available online - makes us look stoopid.
Do I know for certain that Floyd had Keith Moon-like capacity to live thru a bender? No. But it is plausible. In fact looking at this guys life of arrests, non-achievement, and being a general loser, etc., I’d say being high WAS his profession.
Maybe he would have tapped out in custody from a drug overdose. We will never know because an incompetent cop could not deploy a move to restrain his suspect without him dying in custody of a heart attack.
I’ll say it again: this saga is a gift for the jar-shakers. They couldn’t have asked for a better crisis of which to take advantage.
The left digs in and canonizes their loser, and the right digs in and champions their loser. The result is leftist riots, destruction of property and a thinning of police ranks. In addition we get DAs that let crime run amok. On our side, we have people STILL saying “Free Chauvin” and looking equally dopey.
I think the left looks worse in the end. However, the ants were still fighting, which is what They want.
As I posted elsewhere, there is hope that the pendulum is swinging back with DAs getting voted out, liberals complaining about crime, and conservatives looking at J6 and talking like civil rightists from the 60s.
I don't think I cherry-picked the report; the toxicology section is key to all autopsy causes of death. The presence of fentanyl combined with several other internal factors is well-known.
Also, I think that fentanyl is a game-changer that can't really be compared to the heroine LSD, or cocaine overdoses of heavy users from the past.
When you consider the more recent deaths of people like:
The survival of fentanyl is very slim and the amounts taken are very small. Floyd had an extremely high level of fentanyl in his blood. That simply cannot be ignored.
IMHO Floyd was not someone who had an overnight bender or a person who hasd a high body constitution.
