Why is this man still allowed in public?

[unicorn]

I read a blurb about some guy called Andy Dick, who was apparently recently rescued from death with Narcan on the streets of Hollywood. Curious as to who he was, I looked him up on Wikipedia, and I've almost never seen such a sociopath. This man is a registered sex offender, and has committed sexual battery on multiple women and even girls! It looks like he keeps getting probation, and more probation. This man is a complete menace to society. I cannot understand why he's allowed to exist outside prison walls! Does celebrity/infamy protect him, or am I missing something?

Never heard of him or seen anything he has done.  Read info on the link you provided and seems like a very troubled soul.  Doesn't appear anything has helped him previously, so perhaps some serious jail time would be a wake up call...but I have my doubts.

He needs to sober up and straighten his mind out. Some serious jail time seems a good place for that to happen.

Verbal irony. Mildly interesting.

Irony. Hypocritical. For a like or two. Not interesting.

Why is such boring and mindless attention-seeking drivel as “you’re surprised?” still allowed in public?

Can’t you two get a room and spare us? Your schtick’s expiry date was ages ago. We all get that your  jacking off at the prospect of online bullying the same target over and over is behind the tiresome routine. You are stuck in a rut. It’s a literary boner-killer for the rest of us. Move on.

What is a 'literary boner killer'?

If he has been in and out of 20 different treatment programs, they obviously are not working for him and perhaps he needs something more realistic as a wake-up call...such as jail time.  As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.  Until he reaches absolute rock bottom and decides on his own that he needs help, no rehab program is going to help him.  He refused to go to any rehab program this time.

You keep condemning comments as dull, mindless, or “attention-seeking drivel,” yet you’re the one turning every simple line into another multi-paragraph critique....

If anyone is supplying drivel, it’s the person who can’t resist expanding every minor remark into a performance..... hint: you

If you truly want less “drivel” on the forum, the fastest fix is simple:
stop generating it.....in long form at that 🙄

Just add 1

Emphasis on minor. That’s as good as it gets. I detect two settings: unapologetically unsubstantial and defensiveness about it. Of thousands of chatroom members I see no trend of true interest in the type of casual banter that floats your boat. There would be much more of it. Read the room in terms of tribal interest. You can be meaningfully participatory and integrated into the forum agenda without constant jumping up and down waving.

You keep talking like I’m putting on a show every time I post, meanwhile you’re the one delivering keynote speeches with footnotes 🤓

And of course you “see no trend” of casual banter, casual conversation isn’t exactly your first language, or your 2nd or 3rd....

You reply to a gay message board like you’re defending a thesis..... when are you due back at the asylum?

It’s hard to notice banter when you’re busy drafting symposium abstracts 🤷‍♂️

If you're hoping for a room full of hushed attendees taking notes, you might have better luck at a piano bar.

I’m just talking normally.

You’re the one treating the room like an academic conference....

Trying to cut down on emoticons, but add 2 to the tabulation.

In the US at least, prisons are typically state facilities, usually for longer sentences (over a year), and have hardened criminals. Jails are county (or city) facilities, typically used to incarcerate less serious offenses, and those incarcerated there aren't quite as nasty..
