Looks like Dad was not much of a Dad.
I never understood why people who do good things are expected to have children who are immaculate. Honestly, unless your father is the Pope (a situation that in and of itself would have more problems than I can even begin to imagine), then I say you should be free to do every bad thing that every other child has the right to do.
As much as they try to be, parents are not their children. And sometimes a little LA jail time is just what they need to straighten out.
