It's more about the nature of the trial I believe. A lot of people believe the trial was unfai. Some of the reasons given were his lawyer not doing his job, witnesses recanting/having deals that could influence their statement, and other issues. There's also the fact he was part of the black panthers at one point and that could have unfairly influenced the jury. It's a topic that draws a lot of attention and considering all the things that have come out about the ppd & DA over the decades, I don't think we'll ever get the whole story.

I'm not going to lie I'm a little biased on gastric surgery because it does not fix the root problem. It's a quick fix to lose a lot of weight, but if you do not treat the reason behind your eating and fix your diet it does not keep up and you gain weight back.

So many people struggle with their body imagine, mental health, and nutrition and it's so much easier to buy into a supposed fix instead of doing more work that if not done right makes the problem worse.

Like I wish I could control my diet but I have an eating disorder and unlike drugs, you can't just not eat. I think if I did have a drug problem people would treat my addiction with kindness than they do EDs.

I call bullshit that it's TikTok's fault. You still need to have it prescribed and without insurance it's 4 grand in the US. No one is taking this medication for shits and giggles and if it's covered, it's probably because they need it. Obesity can and often will cause more issues down the line in life.

I still remember being in grade school when it hit and struggle to get home and having to hold on to my neighbor because the wind was so strong and I couldn't make the last four houses to mine and after the street was clear, the pile being level with my Gran's head and walking on it. It was magical.
