She certainly has more options (as does he). 

But dealing with someone who is struggling with substance abuse is not the same as driving someone to a dentist appointment. Dealing with an addict is emotionally and spiritually draining in ways that can far exceed the time and financial burden.

This. I was ready to forgive this guy, assuming that he tweeted something dumb when he was 14 - but this is a very consistent, recent pattern of despicable public statements. 

Yup, super judgy. I’ll own that. But the idea that she played any role in what happened because she didn’t volunteer to her bf that she cheated is victim blaming, even in the hypothetical. Maybe if she said she was seeing someone else he would have tried to have her killed sooner. Maybe she was aware of his…

Or maybe instead you should wonder what else would have set your former friend off and resulted in him trying to kill her or someone else.

So you’re presenting a theory with no evidence and asking others to debate the merits of it. Pass. 

My understanding is that it may be traced to a few things—

So why did you bring that up as a root cause? That’s literally how you start your comment.

Only if In the Heat of the Night is on cable/streaming. I don’t trust network TV.

Has Ryan come out with a statement yet?

The only way anyone will care is if it results in them losing congress. 

...Except that I do think he is smart enough to have plausible deniability. I feel like that’s 90% of his job— stay away from Trump’s chaos in case it all goes to hell.

In order for this to work after the movie, they have to kill off a major character we care about. So... her dad or Logan. And I don’t think I could handle that in 2018.
