The problem stems from Roth being an asshole but Alan should've said something, so all of this still doesn't justify what he's doing in the present moment.

It's very idealistic and easy to say "he should've said something", but in reality you will never know if you would actually have the strength to do so in his position. That's his little brother, he doesn't want to get him in trouble. Maybe he though he'd be sent away, or worse. He was a child to, minds run rampant at that age with all sorts of ideas.

Doesn't justify his actions, but saying "he should've done x" is very dismissive.

Agreed, also as just a bit of a side note speaking of minds. It's dependent on the individual, but a migraine headache can make it almost impossible to think at all. My experience with them ranges usually between feeling so much pressure behind my eyes that it feels like my head is about to explode to literally being able to feel my blood vessels pulsing beneath my skin like they are stretched to the limit and are about to burst. In either situation, the only two things I can usually think are, "Please god, just kill me and make it stop." and blind rage that makes me want to smash things so maybe I'll injure another part of my body and take the focus away from my head. They can be seriously debilitating and there's usually nothing to do but try the few medications available like Riztriptan and ride it out or try to do something to make yourself pass out, which usually happens anyway if it goes on long enough as it completely exhausts you...seriously bad times...

wait, so he knows alex was just defending himself? guys simply crazy at this point if he is this unstable.

oh god
