I've read that too. Like he couldn't escape his past and I think they're not giving ST enough credit. He wasn't some hardcore drug dealer or some thug. He ran with the wrong crowd for awhile and made some bad decisions. Every kid does that. He was 24 not 44. Anyone in the media who criticizes him for making stupid juvenile decisions, when he actually WAS a juvenile, is pretty hypocritical cause everyone makes bad decisions sometime in life.
