why?
The guy is a bit of a fool but he is trying his best. Pretty harsh how he got beat up when he was getting a picture taken with a guys girlfriend. Plus people constantly asking about Bullet and Chris treats him like dirt when it seems that he looked after him a bit when he was younger.

He is a druggie, a thief and a woman beater. He head-butted and kneed his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach. Scum bag.
Seriously? Hes a complete waste of life. That dog is probably 100 times better off away from that pathetic junkie. Why do you think it was always trying to escape? It wanted away from him!
I accept he's done some bad things but I genuinely think he's trying to sort himself out. Don't think he's on drugs any more. Maybe I'm just too compassionate.
The vet said Bullet was well looked after.
Meh, he's hardly a hugely nice guy tbh.

lol
chris treats his own family and mother of his child like dirt, i expect a lot worse for marvin.
he knee'd his pregnant gf in the stomach, he deserves a good hiding or two.
also people asking him about bullet? wtf? lettuce be cereal, he couldnt look after a stuffed budgie. he deserves to be taunted for the rest of his life.

Doesn't make it ant less harsh for Marvin
Of course that's bad doesn't mean he deserves a life of misery. Not that it makes much difference but she wasn't actually pregnant.
As mentioned, the vet said Bullet was well looked after so why do you disagree with that?
I'm not saying Marvin is some kind of saint but I don't think he's a particularly bad guy.
Marvin was one of the nicer scumbags on the programme. He pretty much kept to himself, although we do have to remember he is what? mid thirties? We have no idea what he was like in his early twenties.
I still can't believe Chris is 20 though

yes
Was a bit weak. Couple of the panelists seemed to have good insight. Fundamentally there are many factors that have contributed to these communities having these kind of problems, over multiple generations now, and no-one really knows what to do. There seems to be some agreement possibly that to resolve this, the change will start with youths and children - taking multiple generations to filter through. Throwing money at it isn't the answer.
