At this point, when it goes tits up, I think it is 100% the fault of anybody associating with Jason, professionally.
If people would quit trying to treat him like a human being who can think to the level that most of us do, then shit like this wouldn't happen. Sure, give all the chances you like, personally. Just don't be a fool and let him near commercial stuff.
I understand that most people want to give the kid a chance - but come on, he displays no memory of crying at what he said. It's just gone. He will not remember lessons. If he cannot learn, you cannot trust. Doesn't mean you couldn't have a decent personal association with him - just means, wake up and smell the coffee, he is semi-challenged.
