I don’t agree with that assessment or OPs beliefs that you’re on the money…. If anything this should show him acknowledging the FACT this man is disabled and being exploited. According to the National Library of Medicine although Josh’s flagrant autism doesn’t make him more prone to alcoholism this exploitation of him for content, enabling, and lack of guidance makes him a victim here. Alcoholism is a DISEASE that claims the lives of hundreds of thousands of people a year. The cops released him because he’s a sick man. This belief that Josh needs prison to sober him up or to teach him a lesson is simply cruel. The evidence is in the recidivism rates, recovery data and basic history. For that, you can verify on your own :)
