I agree.....we, the public, don't have even an ounce of the facts I don't think. We have bits and pieces of it. And then people start playing the blame game with what they have to work with. I do have a feeling Kirk is the key to a lot of things in all this. However, I don't see him as a/the "cause" like some people do! If and when EVERYTHING comes out......I have a feeling we'll all be shocked. | |

The fact that you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. They could be sent via private message, email, snailmail, phone calls.... any number of ways. And very few people hide in their homes even with death threats being aimed at them. You don't know what's going on there, not that it will stop you from pretending you know all things.

I only think he is not seeing these threats for the following reasons 1) He is out in the open. If someone where threating me I would take it seriously. 2) He has not said anything himself about a threat all this came from Steve Parke. 3) Private messages and a zillion Facebook pages have the potential of not reaching the intended. I seriously doubt Kirk is checking out Facebook pages all day and if so he is free to contact the authorities. | |

The police have not interviewed him beyond the questions they asked doing their initial investigation. Kirk went out and got an attorney who specializes in enabler cases. So I am sure he is not going to volunteer any info to the police on the advice of his attorney.
At this point he has not been accused of anything but proved to have told lies to the cops. Making himself a suspect.
I would imagine that the family as well as associates received the info in the search warrant at the same time we all did. They either did not read it or do not see anything wrong with his behavior as they have already trusted people who should not have been trusted ( Londell) so their behavior toward Kirk is par for the course.
3 of the sibs are being represented by Londell who is being accused of ripping off the estate what does that tell you.
Which associates (not family) are trusting Londell and what does that have to do with Kirk? The idea that the family doesn't know any more than we do is absurd. Perhaps the reason the family isn't pushing for Kirk to be behind bars is because they know more than we do? -/By they I mean family and Meron was giving a lot of support to Londell a couple of months ago. Obviously if 3 of them want to be represented by an attorney who is either crooked or incompetent that would follow that they may not be as concerned about Kirk. As far as the warrants are concerned they may not have had all the details maybe some as I can see the police not telling to many people about the investigation. We have no idea if they knew about Kirk's lies before the public knew and 3 of the sibs are very suspect with any concern about their brother at this point.

You are missing the point because laws were broken and you seem to think the laws don't apply. You are free to think what you like it does not change reality Prince could have stolen those pills from KJ. Dr K has told two different stories about those pills. Why would the cops arrest KJ when they have no proof he handed the pills over to Prince? No proof! And maybe that one detective is busy trying to find the supplier of the pills that ACTUALLY KILLED PRINCE, which is probably a Chinese internet link. | |

How would Prince steal them from KJ? I imagine that KJ might need pain pills as well for his aches and pains but did P sneak into his home and take his pills and then bring them back to Paisley and then decide to purchase illegal, dangerous pills online and then pick them up himself or risk having them delivered to Paisley Park without someone to go-between? Someone enabled P's addiction and purchase of street pills..if it wasn't KJ, then who was it? Prince was too famous and well-known to score opiods off the street or risk having them sent directly to PP> Also, didn't KJ take P to the pharmacy the day before his death? They had to have been picking up the oxycodone and anti-anxiety meds. Its too much of a coincidence that the only prescription pills were under KJ's name and Prince was pacing around the pharmacy miles away from PP that night. COme on. PUt 2 and 2 together.
I actually kind of hope you are right and that some twist of fate actually happened. . I almost think its sadder that a 30 year friend would faciliate his death than Prince out of desperation sneaking pills and hidding them even from his friend.

The oxy scrip that was in Kirk's name was given to Kirk, over the phone from Dr K on April 14th. Prince od'd on oxy on April 14. I think Prince od'd that day on those very pills. But Kirk can say Prince stole them out of his bag or his coat pocket. Then Prince took too many of those pills and od'd on the plane. I don't really think Prince stole them, but Kirk can SAY that, since there is no proof Kirk gave them to Prince. And Kirk would say this to get himself out of trouble. Prince probably told Kirk to say this if anything bad happened which unfortunately it did. The mislabeled pill that killed Prince may not even have been in his possession yet, or it may have deliberately been left at Paisley along with all the other pills they found at Paisley. Prince may have been trying to stop using and left all these pills at home while he travelled, he might have had these pills with him but wanted safe prescribed oxy which Kirk was able to get, or he just hadn't bought the mislabeled pills yet. There are way too many possibilities to just throw Kirk in jail and find him guilty. I don't think anyone knows for sure what was picked up from Walgreens on the 20th. But whatever it was, it did not kill Prince. [Edited 5/1/17 21:55pm] | |

The search warrants stated that the oxycodone was prescribed on the 20th. What else would they be getting at Walgreens? A carton of milk and a pack of cigarettes? Prince was pacing outside and witnesses stated that he looked anxious.
KJ claimed at the tarmac that he thought it was Percocet that Prince was on on April 14th.

The police know what was picked up at Walgreens on the 20th but they cannot prove that KJ gave any of those pain meds to Prince ( Prince did not break into KJ's house and steal the pills) however, he did lie and say all of the scripts were written for Prince when Dr. S put out immediatly that this was not true.
I am sorry but KJ made himself look guilty when he lied and the police may never prove anything just based on his lie that he gave any of his meds to Prince but KJ looks guilty.
The only reason I can see him still hanging around is that something else may have been going on with P's health and he was going to die or get very sick down the road. Those that know this just want to let things settle down and die out by not raising a ruckus about Kirk or the investigation.
Or Prince really did have a lot of people around him who just do not give a crap at all. I have some faith in people so I am going to say something else was going on with his health along with the pain pill issue. | |

Well I think KJ say it was percocet to throw the trail off of him. I think it was the oxycodone. I do not recall anything in the warrants about Percocet being found at Paisley Park. I think the media took the information that Kirk gave the doctors at Moline and ran with it. I never been able to figure out how Prince could abuse Percocet and get thru the P and M show.

Kirk would not be able to "throw the trail off of him" because of the simple fact that Percocet and oxycodone both have the same base drug. Percocet is oxycodone with Tylenol added. Easy to understand explanation: "The difference between Percocet and oxycodone is that percs have Tylenol in them & oxycodone doesn't. They are both made out of oxycodone which is made from a derivative called THEBAINE which is extracted from the roots of the opium poppy plant. They both should come back as "oxycodone" in a drug test." Additionally, opiods CANNOT be prescribed over the phone. You have to present a PAPER prescription to the pharmacy with accompanying ID that indisputably matches the prescription. I believe this is a nationwide rule that applies to all Schedule II narcotics. As far as Prince "getting thru the P & M show", he might have taken one pill halfway thru the show then taken another one after the show which eventually raised the level in his system to toxic. Hence the OD happened midway thru the flight back to MN. laurarichardson said: Well I think KJ say it was percocet to throw the trail off of him. I think it was the oxycodone.

We are going to use the names of the drugs as used in the search warrant. I seriously doubt that TMZ cared that percocet have the same base drug in them. I am sure whatever rat in Prince's camp that was talking to the media did not take the time to explain that bit of information.
I know that the Rx for the pain pills were not filled over the phone and it never stated that in the search warrant. Kirk had those Rx prescriptions written right in Dr. S office for himself. Something no one seems to thing is odd.
Well we have no official information on what he took before that show or after as nothing official has been made public and I cannot believe anything that KJ stated. So, we still do not have the official word on what happened in Moline. Remember it is locked in the vault in Kirk's head.
The only thing we do know is from the Atlanta promoter who said he came off stage and told her his stomach was hurting and to hold off on announcing the rest of the shows until he could go and see his doctor. Kind of weird that he would not have a clue as to why his stomach was hurting if took some pills before the show? Kind of weird that he called Adrian Crutchfield before the Atlanta show to let him know that there would be no after show since he was not feeling well and still needed to see his doctor.
Things do not make sense.

No one said anything about convicting him. I think they have enough to bring him for questioning It does not mean he has to answer any questions wh ich if that happens only makes his look more suspect.

It's been a year. If they had anything on Kirk to even bring him in for questioning (let alone start up some charges against him), something would have been done by now. The cops have either hit a solid brick wall in the case...... or they are going down a whole other path as far as responsibility for Prince's death. We honestly don't know anything. Maybe he's talked to the cops...and they just haven't said. Maybe his attorney has. Maybe they're zero-ing in on someone totally different. WE DON'T KNOW. The only things we know for sure are, Kirk is not in jail. He's roaming free as ever. The pills were in his name. But we don't know the circumstances of that, other than a couple sentences about it in the warrants. That's it. That's about all we can truly say "we know". Everything else is speculation. | |

I just now read the warrant that states Dr Schulenberg gave Kirk (for Prince) a prescription for oxy the same day of Prince's emergency plane landing. Dr S put it in Kirk's name to protect Prince's privacy. Prince was in Atlanta that day and Dr S was in Mpls so it must have been by phone or fax or maybe Dr S was in the same city as Kirk? Sorry I said Dr K before, not Dr S. Percocet is oxy, which is an opioid. Dr S has now changed his story. [Edited 5/2/17 13:55pm] | |

Even if it was prescribed that day, that doesn't mean Prince was in Atlanta that whole entire 24 hrs of that day and wasn't able to pick it up. I could have asked for a prescription at 8:30 am today in my hometown....... Picked it up at say.. noon.....had my chartered private jet fly me to Atlanta in the afternoon. Totally possible that it was all done in a day in Minneapolis. (unless Prince was in Atlanta the previous day also, but I thought he flew there that very day for the concert. Like arrived just before it started?) | |

But there is still the possibility that Prince stole the drugs from Kirk, so I don't see how they can charge Kirk now. (I do not think Prince stole these drugs. I think Prince was addicted to these opioids and did whatever he had to to get them, even using Kirk in an illegal way.) [Edited 5/2/17 14:01pm] | |

purplerabbithole said: Let's say that all KJ did was get oxycodone for Prince on April 20th, That, in my opinion, is enough for most people who supposedly cared for Prince to be extremely weary of this man, to tell him to explain himself. If my son for example (God Forbid) had a drug overdose and 4 days later his friend picked up drugs under that friend's name for him, I would be pissed and that 'Friend" would have charges brought against him. People in Prince's Purple Army act like this man did absolutely nothing wrong and that is fvcked up. All these people are selling books and making money off Prince's death and acting as if a drug addiction was a complete shock to them. Then this stuff about KJ comes out and they still act like Prince died from drugs that magically landed in his lap. It does make me think that all these folks were gravy=train riding enablers themselves and I do hate feeling that way (I really like Steve, MOrris H, Kim Berry and Shelby but how disappointing that they seem to be supporting KJ.)
[Edited 4/26/17 4:09am] [Edited 4/26/17 4:10am] [Edited 4/26/17 4:13am] But Prince picked up his own scrips on the 20th. And maybe they were medication to ease withdrawal symptoms. The warrants don't state that Kirk picked up any scrips on the 20th. But now Dr S is saying the scrip really was for Kirk, and Kirk is saying the scrip was for Kirk, and probably saying he has no idea how Prince got the drugs I think he overdosed on on the 14th. Kirk is not a hero in this sad story but neither is anyone else. [Edited 5/2/17 14:06pm] | |

NONE of the scrips were in Prince's name. NONE. The only scrips found were in KJ's name. If Prince was at the pharmacy and had no scrips and was driven by his bodyguard (ie Kirk) and the scrips found were in his name, then KJ picked them up while Prince paced outside in the parking lot.. Walgreens won't just hand drugs to folks without prescriptions.

Co-sign. No pain pills were written for Prince per Dr. S and I am sure he has the documentation to cover himself. Did we ever find out if those TMZ pics were from the 20th or an earlier time? We have reports that he was going to the Walgreens all the time. It still does not make sense that he had legitmate pain meds and still used the fake pills?

looks like the cops found 10 Percocets in a CVS bottle with Kirk's name on it in Paisley. They also found Watson 853 (Vicodin) pills in two places in Paisley. They found a fatal dose of fentanyl in at least one of the Watson 853. So maybe Prince took what he thought was a Vicodin because Vicodin is weaker than Percocet. If he was trying to withdraw maybe he thought the Vicodin was the lesser of two evils. All the Watson 853 pills were illicit, it is believed, because of the fentanyl found in at least one (plus the one that killed him). [Edited 5/2/17 18:16pm] | |

Seriously some people need to get a grip and perhaps seek professional help. https://www.facebook.com/...7851798460 I've avoided the subject for a while but here goes. Seeing someone you know get dragged through the mud and have death threats made publicly is awful. The fact that it's predicated on rumor and assumption makes it doubly infuriating. People can think what they like, post about it on your page all day long ( even though I don't know why you'd fill your day with that sort of negativity ) but if you choose to express yourself on my page or photos in this regard - I'd consider friends don't act like that and treat our Facebook friendship accordingly. I know Kirk Johnson and have been friends with him for many years. I know this whole thing is hard on everyone but blaming him is ridiculous and doesn't make it better. Spreading rumors doesn't make it better. What makes it better is support and caring for each other - something I was lucky enough to experience this last weekend. Something I see in the majority of posts on Facebook. For the rest of you: don't let de-elevator bring you down. The world would be a much better place if everyone would adopt this same attitude. Thank you Steven Parke for being a voice of reason and just plain good sense amongst all the hating, speculating, judging, and other pollution some people feel the need to continue posting at any opportunity. Honestly, its the incessant contrariness towards people in Prince's circle that is harming his memory and his legacy. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |
