Can't help feel sorry for the guy, he has his face bitten off by a bath-salt-abusing junkie and is then criticised for being an alcoholic, perhaps he could be cut some slack?
Facts cut no slack and I don't see where any value judgements were made of him. However, I do wonder how he survived the trauma -- I wonder if his alcoholism (and the alcohol) provided a pain killer.
Since the hospice has publicly commented that the primary issue is averting sepsis and infection, it would lead me to believe that he has a suppressed immune system.
He lived on the street, which is a very dirty and unsanitary place. If he had a suppressed immune system all the time, I do not believe he would be alive, prior or even now due to the virulence of pre-existing bacteria in a suddenly extremely stressed environment (IE getting your face eaten).
So I wonder if the victims initial state was inebriated, which may explain why he's still alive and not dead from shock.
But please, go on. The victims emotional state and their virtual representation of them in your mind must matter more than what is published.
