You should try to be more respectful of the friends and family who are grieving their great loss. Some of them are grieving the loss of the young man who was once their little boy who they have loved unconditionally since the moment he was born. Just try to imagine how you would feel right now if you were in their shoes and be kind.

You sound like you think they're going to read this.

Yes, I think they might. They lived in the D.C. suburbs where Dwayne grew up.

You overrate the reach of fan forum sites.

But regardless, to be clear, I'm not writing a narrative on Haskins yet as we are still awaiting more facts. I'm interested in toxicology from the autopsy, I want to understand if he was inebriated. Until then it's too soon to lay down much of a narrative.

Of course you're right - people that know him feel the emotion of the loss - as would people who know us would of us. That's all that matters to them. But even within that, there's room for circumstances to impact how the family feels about it. Look no further than suicide to understand how a family can harbor resentment, disappointment, and perhaps even blame themselves for wanting to do something differently.

My kids are now teens, but if my daughter ran into the street at age four and got hit by a car, I'd probably always wonder if I should have done something differently.

The circumstances definitely matter. I don't know what the Haskins circumstances are yet. But everyone in the world passes judgment on everyone for everything, this will be no different when the information comes to light.
