How can you possibly set aside the stance on their parenting skills? Do you not understand why Jared was allowed to continue walking the streets a free man after all of those arrests? Do you not grasp how he was able to be GAINFULLY EMPLOYED for most of this time while almost annually getting arrested and charged with assaulting a woman? Good grief, man. Just think about this:
When Remy threw Martell into the bathroom mirror on August 13th, he had (as far as we know) gone 8 years without an incident of violence against a woman. Some might say that's remarkable progress, and that whatever the Remy's did between 2005-2013 to help their son really worked. Some might disagree, since in those years while Jared did not beat the shit out of any women he did steal a bunch of World Series jackets and dealt steroids to people, but hey......progress??
So even taking all of that into consideration, 8 years later when there's even the slightest SNIFF of a domestic violence issue, Phoebe Remy's first instinct is to beg the Martell's not to extend a restraining order? Like......really?? Do you not understand how massively fucked up that is?
Maybe Jerry had a say in that request, maybe he didn't but unless he begged his wife not to ask the Martell's to drop the RO and she did anyway I'm sorry but he gets part of the blame.
You've assumed an awful lot about my views on this considering the brevity of my post. I simply questioned your stance that the Remys allowed the victim count of their 37 year old, monster of a son to rise. I set aside the question of their parenting skills because it's been well (or poorly) argued here and the fact is that NONE of us know more than what we assume. What we do know is that Jared Remy is a fucking punk, a scumbag that we should all be thankful for not having in our lives. EVERY ONE of these violent crimes against women were committed by an adult. If you or anyone else wants to play amateur shrink and find the deep rooted causes of this going back to the punks childhood, have at it. What I'm saying is that this sick fuck, THIS 37 YEAR OLD SICK FUCK killed this women and you say his parents "let it get to" that.
