I feel bad for his family, but this media narrative of him being a 'lovable larrakin with a heart of gold' is sickening. He had a long history of domestic violence charges, stalking and harassing women as well as recent theft and fraud charges. By all accounts he was starting to turn himself around, but I can't stand people who re-write history as soon as someone dies.

Well said. Be respectful to the the family and friends, yes, and express genuine sorrow, but let's not minimise his crimes ...out of respect to his victims.
