When Bryan’s image got out in public—which frankly looked exraordinarily unwell, and as if the man needs to see a competent medical doctor ASAP—along w his sordid legal history, I’m sure it shook him up. What some mentally unstable people do when they feel threatened is to attack those they perceive to be more vulnerable than they are. It’s a small, mean-spirited and panicky reaction, and never achieves the purpose they intend.
Honestly, I feel mostly pity and concern for Bryan. He needs an intervention, and I hope somebody cares enough about him to instigate one.
