Ok, I'll play.
If someone was suffering a bout of depression and argued with their family due to a change in behaviour whilst drinking and ran off in their car, is the fact they were suffering a bout of depression an excuse for drink driving? Do you believe the police would drop said charges if the perpetrator said they were depressed?
What other bad behaviours are deemed acceptable whilst in the midst of depression? Murder? Assault? Abuse? Posting on TFC?
What if, driving away drunk stopped this theoretical person from assaulting, attacking or killing themselves or someone else? And, was just down a road nobody ever frequents or drives but the person in question?
The problem here, as I see it, is that everyone has banked up angst against Danny, and this unresolved annoyance/anger/hate seems to pile on top of the 'snippet', or gossip, that comes out. What if Danny was heated as he was told by the kit man he was omitted, for example? Or, told he was omitted because Jose didn't like his Deodorant? Who knows...
That for me is what I find strange about most peoples reactions, it is a release valve for the fact he's been shit and seems prickly...
Neither defending, nor attacking him, just find the emotions related to Rose a curious situation.
Sadly, this is a 'thing' sweeping through society, as we all know, and this IMO adds to this tension.
Think he needs loads of Magnesium, N3, B Vits, Zinc and a Liver flush or 10, but that's just my own weird take on things!
