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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago

Poor people are "crazy". Rich people are "eccentric" 😉

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months 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.

[–] butwhyishischinabook 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is definitely true, but it's not like rich people aren't also dangerous, unhinged criminals lol

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.⚡

Yes and she was eventually detained when her batteries ran out.

At which point the police were forced to charge her

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

[–] voracitude 20 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Z3k3 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that was one of the plot threads in 2.5 men

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.
