Forever Young

After the shock of the initial impact, in the ensuing days to follow, an investigative reporter who is not me will add details and revelations that add points to the tragedy of Lee Thompson Young's apparent suicide. Does the recognition stem from The Guardian? Yet another litigation drama that came and went? Smallville?

I look at what I have endured and cannot fathom why a personable young man who managed to work as an actor, in an age increasingly not beholden to the guilt of MLK's polemical identity gamesmanship, would kill himself at his age. Look at what I've risked to tell you, learn to listen. Such inexplicable selfishness helps no one. My condolences to his family.
