I kind of feel bad for his family though. I went to college with his oldest daughter and she seemed like a really down to earth person. Even got to meet Martin once cause of that.
I honestly think they've probably tried to do something about it out of the public eye, but he seems like he's so far out into the deep end nothing really would help except hitting rock bottom.
I'm just really sick of how the media keeps shoving him back into the lime light, that "we" keep giving him all this attention for it. Fucking Hot Topic has "Winning" T-shirts. If a normal person started acting like this everyone would be calling for them to be thrown in the funny farm. I honestly believe the continued coverage of his bat-shit insanity is just feeding the fire. We're giving him the attention he wants.
