I have to agree. I don't think he sees lucas for who and what he really is and just thinks hes some mentally ill dumbass who is down on his luck. He either doesn't see what hes essentially trying to enable, or he does and he is just as big of a creep as lucas is as a result
That said, regardless of which it is, lucas just sees him as a way to get his version of events out there in a way he thinks will bypass everything else the average person would otherwise find out about him and sees him as a source of resources he can exploit to his benefit. In that way the guy is overtly enabling an abusive creep and teaching him the lesson that not only can he get away with that kind of behavior but can manipulate others into supporting him and helping him do it
The whole think makes me question whether he is just as big of a creep as lucas and doing it to deliberately set lucas up to make it more likely he'll do something to someone so he can report on it and get clout, because I find it very hard to believe he could be aware of lucas and know enough about him to want to do these interviews while also not knowing enough about him to realize its a bad idea for everybody involved and without seeing lucas for who and what he really is
In short? Something is sketchy about this whole thing
