Never once saw him out of control or aggressive. He was kind, honest, big-hearted and inspiring. He was not the type to lose his cool or be intoxicated. His death never made sense to me and I always wondered if he died at someone’s else’s hand. I hope he’s at peace and that we can learn from positive example he set.

I was quite the party girl back then and I never once saw Rashad with a drink in his hand. I never accepted the story that he was out drinking and drunkenly fell in the river. Someone had to have put something in a non-alcoholic drink that he had, I just can't picture him getting drunk and doing this. He had plenty of chances to get his party on at campus and he never did.

Is it that much of a stretch to think he fell into the water himself and drowned? Under the circumstances I think not. All of these young men were severely intoxicated on alcohol. When are people going to realize alcohol is a drug as dangerous if not more so than any other? There are more deaths resulting from alcohol each year (both alcohol poisoning/overdosing and accidental deaths like this one plus driving accidents) than from ALL illegal drugs combined. Also, you never hear about someone shooting up heroin and killing someone else in the process. But how often does a drunk driver kill innocents? Ok, off my soap box and sorry for going off topic. Just can't stand society demonizing the use of some illegal drugs while proclaiming the use of alcohol socially acceptable and a-ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
