I really am saddened by the number of people who will just brush this off as a "drug deal gone bad" or something similar, as though that is justification for a man being nearly killed. If this were a near-fatal car accident, I'll bet that the comments here would become ones of support, not hatred or judgment. My heart goes out to Mr. Ruffalo and his family, and I sincerely hope that his brother will survive his injuries with as little brain damage as possible.
