notgvnasht for someone of your standards it seems to me a little ridiculous that you have nothing better to do than pass judgement on someone you don't know. I am sure that with the pedestal you have yourself perched on it is awful lonely with your nose stuck up in the air. May god have mercy on your hipocritical arse!
As a member of Josh's family I hope and pray that those of you passing judgement never have to go through what we have dealt with over this pass weekend! Thank God he will be okay!
To those of you sending your prayers and words of concern thank you so much!
There are many factors that contibute to one having an accident, and that is what happened in this case.
To whom it may concern. I don't feel like anyone who has past judgement on Josh has the right. First off if you do not know him, keep your thoughts to yourself. No one is perfect and I'm sure that none of you are. Josh is a great father and husband, and everyone should only be praying for his recovery.
Who said they were racing??
Beer...Racing...and Motorcycles...Don't mix.
My thoughts and prayers are with Josh and his family. I have also known Josh very well and hope and pray he recovers from his injuries. My heart is breaking for him and his family...
I have known Josh most of my life and I agree, he is a great person. I would have thought he was smarter than that though. To the poster that posted about the three beers...beers affect people differently. So, one person may be drunk after three beers and another may not be affected at all. We dont know how it affected Josh. More than likely the accident was caused by wet roads, but he still drank and drove. THAT in my opinion is wrong. I wonder if everyone would be so forgiving had he killed an innocent person? Josh has a good head on his shoulders, and he is genuinely a good person, and I understand good people make mistakes. I hope hes ok and that this wakes him up and scares him enough that he wont ever even THINK about drinking and driving again.
No drinking and driving don't drink. Also driving through standing water is NOT recommended in a car or motorcycle or SUV or truck.
Establishing the basis for DWI charges is done by measuring blood alcohol. If he chugged the three beers in a short amount of time that could raise the level.
May he have a quick recovery. His little family needs him.
My heart goes out to Josh and his precious little family.
Perhaps notgvnasht should refer to a dictionary when attempting to spell words with more than one syllable.......
I use to go to school with him and he is a good guy people make mistakes dont be so judgemental it could happen to anyone
Just so you know, notgvnasht, you can get a DWI with drinking only 3 beers. Imagine that, small town people, not knowing the story and passing judgement. He is seriously injured due to going through standing on the road which made him lose control and threw him in the ditch, it had nothing to do with him having 3 beers. Get the facts straight.
Heres a new twist,maybe all the drunks who keep driving after drinking should be givin motercycles. That way when they crash they only hurt themselves.
first of all I really hope that he is okay--
just goes to show that drinking and driving DON'T mix-- at all
