None of that erases his past, but it does show the guy was starting to try and put more positivity out into the world
It's pretty sad man. I feel like the kid had the potential to be a huge turnaround story. And while I was never hugely impressed by his music he did have talent, I was interested in seeing how he would develop as an artist over the next few years.
@Solid_Snake07 He wasn't a kid, he was a grown ass man who was a horrible asshole to many people. Also, he was trying to behave "better" because his big court date was going to be coming up and he was trying to behave more innocent so he wouldn't be sent to jail for the next few decades:

Kid's dead now,
@Solid_Snake07 Kid?!? XXXTentacion was a 20 year old man who committed horrendous crimes against several people. To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson: "Yes, he deserved to die, and I hope he burns in hell !!!!"
A lot of people's reaction to this is pretty gross to be honest. I wasn't a huge fan and if half the shit he's been accused of doing to that girl is true it's vile.
This kid obviously had mental issues and grew up surrounded by violence. I'm not saying that entitles him to forgiveness but it should evoke some empathy in you, and if it doesn't you're honestly a pretty shit bag of a person too and don't have much room to judge.
All of this.
As was said on the last page, no new charges in a year. Dude was trying to change. This wasn't even a beef, it's just a senseless shooting.
December 15, 2017: Only about six months ago, XXXTentacion is jailed ahead of his abuse trial, with seven new charges added, including different degrees of witness tampering and witness harassment. It has been said that he was facing DECADES in prison if convicted based upon all seven charges (one of which was beating the living shit out of his girlfriend while she was pregnant).
December 20, 2017: TMZ reports that XXXTentacion will be released from jail and serve house arrest for two - three months ahead of his trial.
March 21, 2018: XXXtentacion was released from house arrest.... March 21st was only about 3 months ago.
At the time of his death (June 18th, 2018) he was STILL awaiting trial for his crimes at the time of his death. This mother fucker was a criminal who did HORRIBLE things to several upon several people (see posts # 201 through about # 205 or more for details). The world is a better place without him.
@27_Sandman_40 If you read what I wrote above in this same post, you will see it sure as fuck wasn't even a full year since his last legal issue (hell, he was released from house arrest March 21st, 2018 and was still awaiting trial for his crimes during his final moments) and he sure as fuck wasn't trying to change. They shot him for a reason.
