ROBERT DOWNEY JR (THIRD OF THREE LTES)

I too have only pity for Robert Downey Jr.'s plight. I have been where he is
it took me 13 years to get clean and sober and I am still in recovery after
two years. But for Mike Downey to suggest that he did not deserve to go to
prison, I would like him to ponder this: What if that had been your home he
chose to pass out in while loaded and with a gun, no less? Robert Downey Jr.
is exactly where he belongs with other dangerous criminals, some of whom may
have the same kind of demons to battle. For his attorney to say that he
doesn't deserve to be in prison is ludicrous. Who knows what will happen the
next time he decides to get loaded?
