I will also add, no one knows the truth about Ben, they only go on what the media reports. Elements they report are true, however there are many extensions and facts about what is true. By no means am I defending him, just making people aware that unless you know the facts and no one other that Ben in reality what goes through his mind we cannot really judge.
As far a media is concerned watch Denzel Washington’s media presser on YouTube about media.
I think people have to give up on the idea that Benny is making all these bad decisions. Benny long ago stopped being in control of his habit, or his life. The meth runs that now. And sadly it will probably be that way until the day it kills him.
