Before and After: My Brother
These images are of the same man. The earlier version, who is adjacent to a young woman, not pictured, is handsome and ostensibly well. Movie star good looks, and a breathtaking singing voice. Now, fast forward and add congentital mental illness, through absolutely no fault of his own, and congenital self-medication with alcohol and, well, the lower image says it all, especially when he installed a firearm into the already volatile mix. It's heartbreaking. Utterly sad. And there's not a thing anyone can do about it now. Whomever sold him the pistol should be whipped with it. Viciously.
