| Hutchison himself sent a pair of tweets hours before leaving the hotel. “Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not. I didn’t live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones,” he wrote in the first. A second, posted 20 minutes later, read: “I’m away now. Thanks.” | Hutchison himself sent a pair of tweets hours before leaving the hotel. “Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not.
