I had a case where a father of three got plastered, shot his wife in the face with a 12 gauge, and then proceeded to butcher the corpse to consume it. When the kids came home from school, he slit their throats.

At the trial, this "pillar of society" claimed "temporary insanity due to overuse of intoxicants". The softhearted judge gave him 5 years of AA.

This fuck is walking the streets and having a good old time.

So excuse me if I take a dim view of AA.
As I said, if it works for you, great.
More power to you.

That guy is probably the 13-stepper I was talking about.
