It is not the government's responsibility to "help him tun his life around". It is Anthony Thompson's responsibility to turn his life around. The government's responsibility in all of this was to protect people like Mr. Coville from the likes of Anthony Thompson. The government failed Mr. Coville and his family. Anthony Thompson failed Anthony Thompson.

If Anthony Thompson is in fact suffering, he is doing so because of the choices that he made. No one forced him to drink alcohol. No one forced him to get behind the wheel of a car when he was drunk. No one forced him to swerve and kill an innocent bystander.

Addicts are not "victims" they are addicts because they chose to abuse drugs. I am glad you are not teaching my children. Children should be taught to be responsible for the choices that they make. They should be taught that there are consequences for their actions. They should not be taught that they can do whatever they feel like and then claim to be a victim.
