#RIPRobin Williams - Talks On Battling Alcohol Addiction And Being Famous

Robin Williams revealed in a 2010 interview via [Mirror UK] how he succumbed to his alcohol addiction in 2006 after 20 years of being sober. That period of his life coincided the end of his second marriage.

After this interview, Robin Williams continued working and even got married for the third time to wife Susan Schneider. However he passed away yesterday of an apparent suicide after a bout of depression.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

"I was filming in Alaska. I was away from everything, I was kind of isolated from things I normally get to do, like ride my bike, seeing friends and family.

All of a sudden I thought, 'I've been 20 years sober, I can drink a little'. It's like, 'I can be somewhat circumcised'. It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't.

#MikeBrown - Reactions Divided On Ferguson Riots And Looting After Black Teen Is Killed By Police

The fatal shooting Saturday of Mike Brown, an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked outrage on social media over the weekend.

Then on Sunday night, riots broke out leading to looting in stores near the scene of the incident. A liquor store and a gas station were looted while police in riot gear tried to control the crowd.

On Facebook where I had been following the news, the reports of the demonstrations led to different opinions, with some commenters supporting or condemning the violent and criminal acts.

Mason Stromberg said; "The family is literally begging people to stop rioting looting and burning. The violence has nothing to do with the boy who was shot, people are merely using his death as an excuse to score some free shit. Shameful behavior, and no way to respect his life. Shame on every one of you participating in this."
