I believe he did it on purpose. From his actions, there could be a hint of a mental condition.
What a cruel thing to say Anon 7:03!
He's not been found GUILTY of ANYTHING!
One incident more than likely has NOTHING to do with the other one.
YOU don't know that!
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
Get well wishes to Vance Phillips and prayers for a speedy recovery!
