    Anthony Stokes died on Tuesday after he crashed a stolen car into a pole while fleeing from the scene of an attempted burglary in Roswell, Georgia
    He had fired at an elderly woman after breaking into her home
    Less than two years ago, he was given a life-saving heart transplant
    He was initially denied the surgery because doctors said he had previously failed to take medication so would be 'non-compliant' with the treatment
    But they changed their minds following pressure from civil rights groups and the boy's family, who said he had been stereotyped as a troubled teen
    After the transplant, he said he was grateful for a second chance at life

He was a good boy... just starting to turn his life around...

Most likely a good person who needed a heart died so this idiot could have a new heart instead.

Our society is very sick, and judgment is coming.

I think judgement is here. Living in this country and watching all the stupid people in power has got to be the beginning of the end.

Well said.

Goodbye Mr. Stokes -- and good riddance.
At least society won't be paying for any more of your "care"....

Word on the street is they knew this guy was worthless so they just put in any old heart.  Could a been a llama heart, maybe an old guy heart.  Scum got an second-rate ticker.
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.
