Stokes’s family suspected that his low grades and a history of trouble with the law gave doctors reason to believe that he would not be willing to take his medicine or show up at subsequent doctor’s visits. The Georgia teen’s story story sparked outrage, and the hospital quickly reversed its decision, giving him priority on the transplant list.
But two years later, after he received a transplant, Stokes’s “second chance” has come to an abrupt end.
Tuesday afternoon, Stokes died after a vehicle he was driving jumped a curb, hit a pedestrian and collided with a pole in a car chase with police, according to WSBTV.

What a surprise.
ReplyDeleteJustice was served. Hoped the pedestrian didn't suffer serious injuries.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Stokes was initially not placed on the heart transplant list in 2013, but when his story garnered national attention, the hospital reversed course.
ReplyDeleteAnother sucker caved in because the boy was black. Now look what this cost the tax payers. This thug did not need to be on a organ donors waiting list and a good human being would have been more deserving of that heart. Not that damn thug.
Cost to the tax payers? This costs a good persons life! They didn't get the heart needed it went to this. Another trayvon . and proff these kid thugs are garbage
DeleteOh well like this should ever surprise anyone. Karma in action. The hospital knew he was a loser and a valuable commodity would be wasted on him. All his new lease on life did was give him more time to be a terrorist going around terrorizing the neighborhood (breaking into an elderly woman's home!) making it unfit for decent people to live in.
ReplyDeleteThe shame of it all is that some good kid probably died because of the big mouths who made a stink for this sorry excuse for a human being.
Gets a second chance at life and throws it away. Well let's hope the hospitals learned always go with your first thought.
ReplyDeletethe followup question- was he an organ donor?
ReplyDeleteSomeone who deserved that transplant didn't get it because they were passed up for this piece of garbage. A sad state of affairs in this country.
ReplyDeleteGod works in mysterious ways. He tried to take the garbage out several times (this was his 2nd heart transplant) and humans intervened so He did it in a way that humans couldn't intervene ever again. The "parents" need the same kind of divine intervention to happen to them.
ReplyDelete6:44-Great question,but of course he wasn't.People like that only take.They don't give back.
ReplyDelete9:38 - you're right. sad, but true.

The transplant allowed him to “live a second chance. Get a second chance and do things I want to do,” he said.
ReplyDeletething he wants to do, like home invasions, shooting at old ladies, running down pedestrians, leading police on high-speed chases..., you know, the good things...
