True, but when a person glorifies the thug life as part of their image, and their fans fail to differentiate the art from the reality, then it's difficult to pass off a shooting at a theater where the life of an artist who made millions off of portraying the image of being a thug is being shown to people who idolize the artist as just a coincidental shooting. He had a musical appeal that transcended racial and socioeconomic boundaries, true, but it wasn't excluded from those looking to imitate his life, violent aspects and all.
