Making just a few assumptions here, aren't we?
Let's see:

-My FIL actually handed me the keys as he always does when I come to visit as he prefers that I drive. He knows that he's having problems with it these days.
-I moved in because I happened to be between jobs at the time and had the time to do it. Neither my wife or her brother could drop their jobs to handle it- in fact, my BIL has already used up all of his PTO on small crises leading up to this.
-My MIL was grateful to have me appear as she couldn't care for her husband but I could. I drove them to the doctors as needed, and while I was there had to run each of them to the hospital for emergencies in the wee hours of the mornings.
-My MIL has wanted to go into a facility for years, but FIL was being stubborn and refusing.
-Moving to a facility was strongly recommended by one of their closest friends, a retired PhD in psychiatric nursing. She was invaluable in convincing FIL.
-Also in on this was a social worker specializing in geriatrics. She had recommended the move last spring. since then she became increasingly involved with them, coordinating their health care appointments and checking on them at least once a week.
-Speaking of the facility, apparently you have no idea what such a place actually is. They have an apartment there and live as they please, with someone else monitoring their meds and a dining room that is essentially a restaurant. They are surrounded by other well-educated people their own age, including a retired surgeon whose hobby became horticulture and environmentalism. He and my FIL, a retired ecologist, have much to discuss.
-I did organize them and indeed imposed a bedtime on FIL because, in case you didn't catch on, he had pneumonia. He was very ill and needed rest, but was too far out of it to see that for himself.
-Did I mention pneumonia and bronchitis? How about when MIL had a seizure at a restaurant and I drove her to the hospital because she seemed to be having a stroke? Or that they weren't taking all of their meds? Or that the diabetic FIL kept forgetting his insulin? Seems that if I wanted them to die sooner I wouldn't have been with them to begin with.

tl;dr: you have no clue what you're taking about and are projecting your own prejudices. Fuck off, you silly little shit.

Yeah, right.

Remember when either this, or the "I choke-slammed a burglar" thread, would have gotten in excess of 100 replies?

I dunno Quinchy, I think maybe I'm the upset weepie here.
Because I really don't see what's so nice about sending your wife's parents away to die and then boasting about it.
Unless his whole point was really "LOL! OLD PEOPLE HAVE SEX TOO! ISN'T THAT DISGUSTING! LOL!". Which still ain't exactly hilarious. I mean hell, there's even whole websites devoted to pensioner porn these days, so it's not as if he's telling anyone anything they didn't already know in this story. Other than the fact he sent his in-laws to the modern day equivalent of Theresienstadt. And he didn't even make a decent joke out of it.

So, I remember the time before they had won...
And we clearly are now in the era where they're in control...
But what event marked their actual victory?

The departure of Dr. Shambolic.

Never claimed to be a saint.
I only included that bit as background. It was not the point of the story, just the bit that you felt was so relevant that you had to jump on me over it. Had that been the focus of the story I would have gone into far greater detail on it and outlined the scrambled nightmare I walked into upon my arrival, or the dreadful events that led to me being sent there to deal with the situation. But none of that would have made for fun reading, so I glossed over it.

Now run along and go back to your Daily Mail and write them furious letters.

All my letters to the Daily Mail are happy ones.
Written whilst furiously wanking.
But hey, then again, I've never sent my in-laws away to die and tried to pretend that I was some sort of nice guy for doing so.
Was doing that even ON your Bucket List?
