There's definitely a lot more to this story. If she's a neighbor of Sheen's, she's not some random deranged fan or anything. This was in Malibu, which is very expensive and was very expensive before this latest real estate crisis. This is a wealthy woman who had some sort of personal issue with Sheen.

I'm not trying to defend her actions or anything, they were obviously inexcusable. I just think this goes beyond 'random crazy person.'

Could very well be a random crazy rich person.

The more money you have, the longer it takes for others to realize your elevator stopped going up a long time ago.

Others realize it, they just don't say or do anything about it because of either wanting a piece or fear of retribution that the wealthy can afford.

I might lose my shit if I lived next to a rich cokehead with nothing but time on his hands, too.

The simple glaring fact that you assume money==sanity makes your comment completely useless. Think on that.

Where did I say that?

The only part where I even discussed anything related to sanity was here:

If she’s a neighbor of Sheen’s, she’s not some random deranged fan or anything.

And I stand by that prediction that she is not a random deranged fan.

The only thing I care about is that her name is Electra Schrock.

I wondered if the weapon was a Taser or cattle prod... But it says "deadly weapon" so maybe it was some kind of custom supervillain lighting gun.⚡

With all the cocaine Sheen has done over the years a Taser would probably be lethal.

I tried to look up what she looked like, and there are loads of people with that name.

Like all the Schrock families out there all thought of the exact same joke.

How can you have a name like that and not have it changed to remove the c and the r? Electra Shock

She will not be known for making good decisions, that's for sure.

What a interesting way to discover there's a new show called Bookie and Sheen and Lorre have patched things up:

Sheen, whose chaotic personal life saw him depart his hit sit-com Two and a Half Men a dozen years ago, recently spoke with Deadline of his contentment in teaming up again recently with that show’s creator Chuck Lorre on Bookie, and how he’d be quick to say yes to another request from Lorre:

“If he decided, ‘Hey man, let’s finish how we started,’ if he said that, I’m asking where and when… And then whatever happens after that, whatever the results are, and if people love it or hate it, that’s out of my hands. But just on my observations, I have it on pretty good authority that they would enjoy it.”

I'm not super surprised they patched things up. Charlie Sheen revealed in 2015 that he contracted HIV in 2011, which was the same year he did all the stuff that got him fired. Would not be surprised if the diagnosis caused a breakdown.

He certainly seemed to be off the rails there. I was surprised at how much he bite the hand that fed him beyond the memes on Winning and Tiger Blood. I was a part time viewer of the show back when I still had cable so I was aware of some of it.

I read the indepth Deadline interview linked in the article. It had some interesting tidbits about his younger years in the business and his family too.

Hopefully he's able to stay on the rails going forward.

Wow that’s nice to see that they repaired that relationship.

Charlie said some pretty mean shit about Chuck at the time and they tossed his ass out with good cause.

Sucked too because two and a half men was never the same.

Bookie is pretty funny

I just watched the first 7 episodes in the background. Fun in a rated R or HBO way. Big change from what I've been watching lately of Mr Belvedere, Parker Lewis, and 30 Rock. They were pretty sterile in relation.

"Where's your cocaine!? I need your cocaine!"

Supervillain origin moment right there

Female Neighbour of HIV positive Charly Sheen. What could have happened there?

If I wanted a comment section full of jokes, I wouldn't have left Reddit.

If I wanted nasal gazing gatekeeping, I wouldn't have left reddit, but I'm not here shitting out my personal opinions about how people express themselves.(oh wait I am and it's super shitty, huh?) Don't like it? Who fucking cares?

"Nasal gazing" says everything anyone needs to know.

That you don't know what the term means?

I'm not sure about the other guy but I'm certain you don't because its "navel gazing".

I think he's talking about looking down your nose at someone hence the play on words with nasal gazing

That is what I meant, thanks for getting it👍

Thanks for this fun thread. I think "nasal gazing" would be a good candidate for a list of eggcorns.

There seems to be precedent on Twitter 2019, but I refuse to add the link here.

If you really feel that way, then you can make a good comment, rather than complaining. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Its still there. Go back and good riddance

Turns out it's still humans visiting this shiny new site. Welcome to earth, enjoy your stay.

It's a story ripe for joking around with, especially since it's also a subplot of two and a half men.

You could always make your own community. Something like "AnhedonianNews"

You know what I don't miss about Reddit? People being unnecessarily shitty to one another. This is a much smaller community, which leaves lots of people outside it to be shitty to if one must.
