I don't know anything at all about this specific situation except what I've read on the boards.
I know more than I want to about what at least part of the situation looks like.
You can't stand up while you are still falling. Sometimes the best efforts of someone trying to "do right by his friend/employee and get him some help" end up doing more harm than good. Frequently the platitudes tossed around in rehab don't mean much until you come crashing down - and the crash may not hurt enough if somebody cushions the fall with a mattress every fucking time.
Under certain circumstances I can see keeping an employee who's done something like this ONCE, assuming the employee has enough skills or talents to warrant employment even though they shouldn't be participating in something as public as a show. Sending someone known for this kind of behavior back to a subsequent show seems about as logical as hiring a convicted child abuser to teach Sunday School.

I think this can be taken as the hitting of rock bottom...
wait, I guess if someone was standing below when the chair and table fell it would be THEN be rock bottom....
