This guy was a total piece of $h1t!
1. Wasted a perfectly good transplant, possibly taking someone else's life who also needed the heart
2. Committed crimes against the elderly, then hits a pedestrian while fleeing police in a stolen car
3. Wasted hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in govt. medical care
4. Al Sharpton ought to be proud he helped get this boy a transplant after he was originally denied due to compliance/aftercare concerns

- 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
