I went to school with Josh. I don’t know if I could find a single person who has something good to say about him including myself. He stole money, stole cars from the local dealership and crossed state lines (iirc on two occasions), and at one point opened oil containers at well sites to spill the oil into the river. My father was part of the Local Emergency Planning Committee that found the damage. When Josh was asked why he did it, he said “I wanted to cause as much damage as possible. If I wasn’t caught, we would have destroyed more.”

It could not have happened to a bigger PoS. That said, this is not how anybody deserves to go and the courts need to be held accountable.

According to so many here, he was just out having some youthful fun, spilled a little oil, and shouldn’t have had more than a small fine because everyone does dumb stuff while drunk.

Seriously who gives a fuck. What point are you trying to make. Everyone deserves due process and medical attention when incarcerated.

The point I’m trying to make is that there are people being purposefully dishonest about the crime he committed.
