I know Hunter wasn't in treatment on the 4th (and his behavior on the balcony was a bit odd, but on that I agree with you completely and I won't speculate).  I know that in-patient is the only route to long term success for the vast, vast majority of people.  Also, as you concur, he has a horrific track record and doesn't strike me as a particularly good or remorseful person.  This is, of course, based on what is publicly known about him, but there's a lot of info there and pretty much none of it is good.

Alright, alright... I will leave my hill now.
