Yes Lilah, thank you for the updates. It is a very sad and distressing thing to have happened to Misha. I’m not on twitter so I’ll just say here #weloveyoumisha.
Thanks so much Lilah for pulling all of this information together and sharing it with all of us. I was so glad to hear that Misha was alright!
Holy Crap! That’s just awful. Poor guy. Hope he gets better soon and that those awful people get arrested. Minneapolis doesn’t strike me as a dangerous place… that’s just weird.
