seriously?
it says Brandon tried to diffuse the situation, but somehow made it worse. That happens sometimes when people get involved in the affairs of others. They have the best intentions, but the worst outcomes happen.
to blame Brandon for the death of Darrant is silly and foolish. Honestly the only one who should even feel this way is Brandon himself, cause we all tend to feel that kind of personal guilt.
to call him a scumbag over this incident is silly. Clark is completely to blame. He is the one who lost his head, his cool, and got the gun. he is the one who started spraying bullets all over the place. Clark is weak, allowing words to drive him to violence.
Brandon has a lot of actions to feel bad for. Quite frankly, this is not one of them. He needs to forgive himself and move on.
