This is my nephew — although I don’t Condon his behaviour I don’t judge him either I know his upbringing and it was rocky ! Not an excuse but until you live your whole life without making a mistake don’t judge.

Sandra my heart aches for you. I hope this resolves so much better than predicted. There’s always hope no matter how dark the night. Keep caring.

I think money from his Go Fund Me should be given to the victims of his violent and criminal behavior.

He tried to Burn up his Crew, because they wouldn’t give him the “go-fund-me” money $$

Alcohol problems? Drug problems? Mental problems? Is this guy going to have to kill someone before he gets help or gets put away?

Rob
Maybe what you’re saying is right,but eventually people need to grow up on their own,and make their own decisions.
If you’re in a bad environment,maybe around drugs,alcohol and the wrong kind of people,get the hell out and away from it.
Been there,done that when I moved to the Owens Valley 21 years ago.

Wow, that’s really convenient for the sheriffs department. What a stroke of good luck on their part, they are probably so relieved about this.

Is there going to be another GoFundMe set up for his bail money?
