Sounds like a capital idea! How'd that work out for him?

So makes perfect sense to invite him to all your Hollywood friends’ parties!

No temptations of drugs, alcohol, sex, ego, pride at those things!

Not surprising. He’s either gonna spend many years in a locked psych ward or a locked cell at Pelican Bay.

He killed his parents. No celeb lawyers are taking the case. There’s no real evidence that he was getting better or that anyone with any authority was really trying to help him

Now he’ll go to jail. Or to mental institution jail

It’s a sad case. But it is something people won’t talk about for too long. It is a hideous story.

People now like hideous stories- Harry Potter was either a precursor, instigator or sign of this, but it’s what we have all over the TV and in the production, publishing and writing fields. Look at a lineup. Look around at a Barnes and noble

But even this story I don’t think anyone will follow

Every Hollywood leftist household should take him in for a month at a time.

I am sure they could rehabilitate him.

Lol.

Like calling the Police out to your Estate repeatedly- and pushing a Defund the Police agenda.

Rob Reiner thought rules and consistency was for the little people.

Yep. Psych drugs again. The connection between these drugs and consequent violence is unmistakable.

#2: "Genetics is a powerful thing."

Yes. Wisdom for the ages. Nick was damned by design.

What else could you expect when Papa Meathead is the source of all your Y chromosomes.

I worked in a big city ER for years. Many of our patients were psych patients experiencing some kind of crisis. I’ve seen...interacted with...more schizophrenics than I care to remember. It is a very strange and very debilitating condition.
