12769086, oops. (link/partial swipe)

so the ppl didn't wanna give him a heart transplant b/c he had a history of 'non-compliance' w/doctors' orders and trouble w/the law. maybe they were right.

partial swipe:
Doctors told his family that Anthony has less than six months to live, but he couldn't be put on the transplant list because of a history of non-compliance.
"They said they don't have any evidence that he would take his medicine or that he would go to his follow-ups," said Melencia Hamilton, Anthony's mother.
Hamilton told Thomas that the transplant is the only fix for her son's enlarged heart.
Keepers of the nation's transplant list have strict guidelines about who qualifies, and while doctors didn't specify the reason, family friends told Thomas they've been told it's partly because Anthony has had low grades and trouble with the law.
"The non-compliance is fabricating, because they don't want to give him a heart," family friend Mack Major told Thomas. "This is unacceptable because he must lose his life because of a non-compliance."
"They've given him a death sentence," said Christine Young Brown, president of the Newton Rockdale County SCLC.
In a statement this weekend, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta spokeswoman Patty Gregory said in a statement, "The well-being of our patients is always our first priority. We are continuing to work with this family and looking at all options regarding this patient's health care. We follow very specific criteria in determining eligibility for a transplant of any kind."

It took me a minute to realize he was not a by-stander struck by the police but rather the person being pursued.

All that wasted time and effort from them, the civil rights groups, and whomever else. That heart could've went to someone who's actually worth a damn instead of this dumb nigga.

12769755, I know some his organs are no good.

Dude was nearly cut in half by the pole he hit. Depending on where he was cut, those kidneys and liver are probably useless.
