watched video. young fan wants pic/autograph of @JohnMcEnroe. I don't know pain of such a life. but what kind of "life" see another as a bother, not a gift? what I saw, being kind was possible. Costing him nothing. Who the hell was that kid anyway? Who am I, that he'd even care.

Do not watch anything on @CBS and no Kennedy Center broadcast. Kennedy Center honors has been destroyed by malignant narcissist trump. CBS is now a state controlled outlet that can’t be trusted for any news, what other stories have been killed for broadcast? #DV1 #DemsUnited

RIP GARY GATES Gary was homeless. Had given up. volunteer at IB Neighborhood Center called Sheriff Department asking for their assistance -- help him. he wants to end his life. That was ignored until two days later, they finished the job - shooting him 4 times. Shame @SDSheriff

WE SHALL NOT BE SILENT. The death of Gary Gates was unnecessary, and it was cruel on the part of the San Diego Sheriff Department. Today, Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center spoke up to make sure folks knew who this man was. Shame on @SDSheriff

GARY GATES killed by San Diego Sheriff Deputies -- one fired 4 shots into him. He was flipped over, still alive, bleeding, and pressing down on him struggled to cuff him. His unnecessary death was cruel to the end. Shame on @SDSheriff! Bring justice for Gary!

Imperial Beach Neighborhood Center standing up, naming & remembering a man, Gary, who was killed Sunday Dec 21 - one man with a knife against a squad of deputies with guns. His death was unnecessary and cruel. Was shot, they flipped him to handcuff him - he was in so much pain.

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s
