Mr Pepperment. You appear to be very uninformed, naive, or more likely just full of hate towards the man. You can not be so misinformed to not know that addictions of all sorts bring out the worst in people. As a result, good people dealing with addictions - lie, cheat, steal, and yes, say things that under normal circumstances they would never say or do.
Years ago, we watched an old friend fall under the spell of crack cocaine. Yes, he lied, lost his job, and actually stole money from me. ( $600.) I never got that money back and I never asked for it. He has now been fine for many years and unlike you, myself and the other people that know and love him, do not hold this past problem against him.
Don't get me wrong, I did not support Ford during his ridiculous antics but in his death I will not hold it against him. Unlike my friend who overcame his addiction and was able to move on with his life in a positive way, Ford never got the chance.
It's weird how much hate is within you Mr Pepperment. I know when Layton died, people did not dwell on the fact that he was caught in a sleazy downtown brothel with a prostitute "sitting on him". Oh, that's right, when he was caught, he scurried off on his bike so I guess he is OK.
Something else that eludes you Mr Pepperment is that tens of thousands of his supporters are minority groups. It looks like they like or love him for the things he did for them and chose not to hate him for the things he said about them in his "drunken stoopers".
