That "they should be sending me flowers" comment was beyond gross even for him, but I'm so glad people are FINALLY realizing what a POS he is!! Always has been (astronaut meme)!!!

They really should get out after all this time. The abuse evidence was totally mishandled, and it's been long enough. Let them have some semblance of a life where they can put some good into the world.

I saw the HBO doc and I'm appaled at the way the case was treated back in the day

FUCKING FINALLY.

If this is because of Monsters, RM is going to be so fucking smug even though if anything he was SO damaging. Fuck him.

Even if it has nothing to do with the show, RM is going to be so fucking smug and take credit

The way I see it is this, if GR Blanchard is out, they should be too. Like her, they seemingly ended their abuse the only way they saw how. Only they got painted as greedy, spoiled children who only wanted the money. And maybe they were, but that doesn't negate the abuse they suffered. They've served their time and no, should they be freed, RM should not get a pat on the back for it

I remember their trial. Honestly thought they were guilty for years and did it for the money. Then I listened to a podcast with Rosie O'Donnell and Lyle which changed my mind. Have since watched doc with the Menudo boys and think they should be released with conviction of manslaughter.
