Ben Cousins again

Re: Ben Cousins again

Decision, choices. Yep he could have just said no from the start couldn't he yet I'm the bad guy for not having any compassion for him.

I've never said that first choice was a good one. He, like so many others, might have felt something was missing in his life (something that has nothing to do with money or material possessions), so he went looking - got himself into a mess that he couldn't (can't) get himself out of. And I have compassion for people in that situation.

His family must be at their wits end. Perth is not such a big place y ou could hide, if you were related to the guy.

Absolutely they are ( if that doco was any indication). And the times when he is cognisant Of that would be devastating for him too. That makes this whole thing even worse.

Yep, they let him do things he shouldn't have been allowed to. I fear his story has a very said ending, I hope not. But I fear it never the less.

Its a shame he can't break free of the scourge of addiction that has it's claws into him.
I hope he can somehow get his life together, as I fear unless he changes course drastically we're going to read one more sad, final headline soon.

Re: Ben Cousins again

This is beyond sad. Like others, I worry for the next headline.

I can't believe they carried so many party boys to a flag.

It's Kurt Kobain all over again. Everyone knew that was coming

Re: Ben Cousins again

Quick update :-

Ben Cousins was supposed to appear in court yesterday but was a 'no-show'. He rang his lawyer and said he was sick and couldn't make it. There was a warrant for his arrest yesterday afternoon.

Last night 1:30am Perth time, Ben was involved in a car accident. He ploughed into the back of a truck on a suburban street. He is currently under police guard in hospital with minor injuries.

Re: Ben Cousins again

Need to take his licence off him, obviously not safe to be driving a car.
Maybe it's time he was locked up for everyone else's safety, I don't think this should be about him anymore but the people he could cause harm to.

Prison or a health/rehab facility?
