Laura, engaging with you is very challenging because it sounds like you don't read what I write, and you attribute comments to me that i never made. I know that it means a whole lot to you to be able to argue with people here (it's must be some kind of a release for you, I guess.) So I'm feeling generous tonight, and I'll engage with you one time as a favor to you.

-

In response to your comments::

-

"When he left that hospital what would he have not known about his health?" I don't understand this comment, as it doesn't relate to anything I said. In my comment I said that he would've known he ODed on opioids that day, but I didn't know if he was tested there to find out the specific opioid (for example, if it was fentanyl from a laced counterfeit pill. I have not seen any credible reports that confirm the specific opoids from that OD). That was the entirety of what i wrote.

-

"What makes you think he did not know what he was doing when he left that hospital?" I don't understand this comment. I never said anything that "him not knowing what he was doing when he left the hospital." Once again, all I said was that I don't know (beause it's never been reported) if he was tested there to determine the specific opioid responsible for the OD. Beyond that, I had nothing to add then or now.

I am talking about April 20th he was in the hospital. When he left that hospital what would he have not known about his health? He had legit Rx written and Kirk had pain pills written for himself that were found in Prince’s things. What makes you think he did not know what he was doing when he left that hospital? He could have stayed in that hospital and treatment right there or been flown anywhere at a moments notice. He choose to leave. said:

He knew he ODed on opioids. He wouldn't have needed a test at the hospital to tell him that (his revival by Narcan would show that). I don’t know one way or the other if he (or the hospital) knew the specific opioid that caused it, especially the OD was from a laced, mislabeled counterfeit pill that actually had a bunch of different opioids in it than its label indicated.

I think most people who take illegal pills -- or illegal drugs generally -- aren't intending to OD. In Prince's case, he might not have realized why he ODed the first time (that the pills were fentanyl-laced). He might not have realized that the same fate would await the next time he took pills from that batch (or maybe he just got the batches mixed up; he had lots of stuff in various bottles).

-

The Moline incident still seems really hazy. If I recall the warrant correctly, Prince was reported as saying he took a couple "pain pills," and Kirk mentioned Percocets -- but who knows if that's accurate and/or if those Percocets were real or counterfeit. And we don't now if they did tests in Moline to ID the specific opioid he ODed on; I'm not sure there would have been a reson for them to run a test like that. (Or if Prince would have agreed to it.)

To the bolded:

.

They never said the OD in Moline was Fentanyl, it was Percocet. Why do you think that was the case?

.

How could someone take illicit pills and not have the OD be intentional?

.

I'm just trying to understand your logic.

[Edited 2/2/18 14:20pm]

.

I'm pretty sure the reports stated Prince's OD the first time was Percocet. I'm not sure where this Fentanyl-laced story is coming from. First I heard of it.

.

Kirk is not being truthful. When CBS asked him "Was Prince hurting?"......he said "I don't know?" Now, WTF would you say "I don't know" about your friend who died from a drug overdose?!! To protect his privacy? BULLSHIT.

True. But we keep proving it over and over. Seriously at what point do people get sick of talking about this? It’s the same comments over and over with conspiracy theories and arguing thrown in for good measure. The horse is rolling in it’s grave at this point.

The REAL question is why is it that you, Sonshine, and others who think this same way continue to come into threads that you know this is being discussed in just to whine about it? Isn't it crystal clear at this point, as if it wasn't long ago , that those who want to continue talking about this don't care if you like it or not? Or do you do it just so you can take shots at people even though you don't want to take part in or add to the conversation? Or do you think you are morally superior to those who discuss these things? Because I sure can't see any reason at all why those who dislike these conversations and think they are the worst.thing.ever. just can't stay the hell away from them.


I don't have any issues with you rogifan but this business is annoying as fuck and I can't figure out why you come into these threads just to whine. Can't you find something else here on prince.org that you actually WANT to participate in? Surely there are other threads that interest you?

.

Mumio -- well said. There are lots of threads that I don't partake in because it's not of interest to me. I'm here, because I value what other people have to say about the investigation into Prince's death. I just want to say, we're not here to bitch and moan -- maybe we are still grieving and need to talk about it? It's called "therapy". If the subject is bothersome to some folks, then stay away. If it's not important to you, then no need to be here. It's not that complicated.

.

We have something in this country that's called "Freedom of Speech".

.

We're not here to disrespect Prince or drag his name through the mud. We are here because we CARE and we LOVE him.

.

Peace!

Well thank you for putting me in my place. Lol and for coming to the defense of those you feel i have maligned. But i think everyone here holds their own just fine. Btw free speech works both ways for all those that like to remind us of our constitutional rights ad nauseum. I get that you don't like me. But seriously aren't you just a little bit bothered by the repetitious, no ground gained, nature of these conversations. Honestly i just try to put myself in the shoes of the person we take such liberty in discussing. I know he's gone but i'm confident at this point he would wish to rest in peace. This is a board devoted to him so i feel devoted to occasionally trying to remind others here to respect what i believe he would want. I didn't know him personally. Same as the rest of you. But you are lying to yourselves if you think he would approve of these threads. As "fans" wouldn't you want to conduct yourselves in ways he would approve? Just sayin.

In all fairness , Sonshine, you do whine about why we who are interested in how/why he died are having these discussions on this thread. This is not a private forum. After all, there are (2) million more threads to participate in and maybe you should seek out those threads that best meets your expctations of what should be discussed. I certainly will not stop discussing it (until I find out one more thing at least).

The Percocet was from a warrant in which in investigator says that Kirk has said it might have been a Percocet. But Kirk might have been wrong — plus prince had counterfeit pills so it might have looked like Percocet (and maybe he even thought it was) but it might have had something else in it. I don’t think we know enough to know for sure what happened then other than opioid od Cloveringold85 said:

It's obvious that i hit a nerve or you wouldn't all be getting so defensive i.e. whiney.

Yes, yes, of course. Now that you have had a glimpse of your own face in the mirror, you should have no problems skipping over threads that cause you to react in the same fashion.

Sonshine: I don't think anyone here is saying that they don't like you. I personally don't have any issues with you. I just don't understand the need to come into threads that upset you, that's all.

.

This thread is discussing Prince's death investigation. We're not here to harm anyone. I don't think we are disrespecting Prince's legacy by wanting to know what happened to him. How is it wrong to show love and genuine concern for others? I do not understand this. I lost my dear Mother 4-years ago, and I still talk about her and think about her every, single day. This is a part of the grieving process.

.

I'm sorry you don't approve of these threads, but you make the choice to comment in them.

Peace

Still waiting. Maybe around the 21st of the month.

Has anyone put (2) and (2) together to come up with why it is NOT cancer?

All things being equal, all we have is a "post" that someone, who was related to someone, told someone, that another someone, was told by someone in the family, that Prince told someone that they should prepare... Are we going to challenge that "post" or just let it bask in all of its glory?

I say its time to seek a few things out and suss this shit out. There are ways to put (2) and (2) together.

I remain open-minded and it wouldn't change a thing for me if he did have cancer, but it's time to put up or shut up. As you people say around here, " receipts"!

co-sign BIGLY...Prince wasn't an idiot. If he had a terminal/painful illness he certainly knew he could obtain ALL the pharmaceutical grade pain pills he would ever need to the end, as well as the best personal care...just like he made sure to provide for his father for years without a hint of what went on behind those closed doors ever getting out..

If, however, he was addicted to pain meds, the picture changes radically. Then he was dealing with not only pain but shame, fear of being outed an an anti-drug hypocrite, the ins-and-outs of obtaining said pills and managing his intake in a body that wasn't properly nourished, hydrated and kept diminishng in size. He was dodging death with every pill he took and his body, because he was not taking proper care of himself, was a moving target.

I think he knew he could not keep it up, was overwhelmed, depressed, essentially alone in the world except for employees...and then he tried to punch a higher floor.

Very thoughtful. This is pretty much how I feel. You are a very famous person, but basically alone in the world, surrounded by your employees, not a close, loving family. (Partner in life, children that care about you as a person, not their employer.) You may be truely addicted, ashamed like you said, and just don't know what to do. I don't actually think it was cancer. All three of my nuclear family members have died from differnt types of cancer, and not one of them could have crawled in a car and went to Walgreens the week they died. My own son was addicted to opiates, and he was a healthy man in his 20's, and started looking skinny just like Prince. He was not married, but he had 3 sons and us (his parents) to help him into rehab, and managed to finally kick the drugs to the curb. So, I am just basing this on my own experience...still sad about it though.

It feels like a week has passed but I see it hasn't. But I'm not going to post about it anymore so I'm just going to spew all the gifs that express the way I feel.

I can’t believe that no one from Walgreens ( currently or formerly employed ) has come forward and talked about what kind of prescriptions Prince was actually getting. You would think that this being who it is (Prince) that it would have leaked out by now. I have a friend who’s daughter works at a pharmacy and she’s always telling us crazy stories of people coming in for meds. It seems if he or someone for him was coming in to get special prescriptions for a terminal illness it would have been known by now.

Thats crossed my mind more than once too...

Maybe Prince never went and got any prescriptions filled at Wallgreens.

Maybe him being see in the parking lot was him waiting for Kirk.

After all there were no prescriptions in Princes name found at Paisley

so something else...doesnt compute...

Yea, and the real kicker is when CBS did that interview with KJ and he was asked: "Was Prince hurting?"......KJ said: "I don't know".

I don't think it's up to KJ to tell the public anything he wishes not to. I also think Prince wss smart enough not to keep someone around for 30 years if all KJ did was say "yes." Just mho

.

The word "no" was not a part of Prince's vocabulary. He had a lot of "yes men" around him.
