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


What a waste of a precious gift: Heart transplant recipient, 17, dies in high-speed police chase crash - two years after hospital nearly denied him new organ because of his bad behavior
  • 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
