Vampire girls and Raymond Clark, charged with murdering Annie Le, must be under watch for alcoholism.
Under watch:
Five actresses from the CW’s “The Vampire Diaries,” arrested in Georgia for dangling from the side of a bridge and exposing their breasts to passing motorists. A Sheriff’s deputy spokeswoman (we’ll pass on the obvious jokes about “under watch” and “spokeswoman,” not “spokesman”) said that “one girl was holding another girl’s ankles and hanging her over the bridge like she was going to drop her.” Nina Dobrev, 20, Sara Canning, 22, Kayla Ewell, 24, Krystal Vayda, 23 and Candice Accola, 22, were arrested along with cameraman Tyler Shields, whose footage confirmed (to the spokeswoman) several dozen drivers’ accounts of the escapades. The idea that none of the above may have been sober is supported by the fact that Canning later hung up on a reporter, Accola referred calls to a publicist who could not be reached and the others did not return phone calls from reporters. (If they’d been sober and this was a publicity stunt, I strongly suspect they wouldn’t have hesitated to speak out publicly.) But only the future history of these young lives will confirm or disprove our suspicions. We hope they live long enough for there to be a future history.
Raymond Clark lll, 24, charged with murder in the killing of graduate student Annie Le, also 24. He may suffer from some disease or disorder that would put the murders in the possible 10-20% of horrific behaviors rooted in something other than alcoholism—but still, Mr. Clark should remain under watch until alcoholism, with or without any other disorder, is disproven.
