Josh is my second cousin I know for a fact how he was raised and he had a good upbringing but despite his upbringing josh was getting in trouble at early age but that doesn’t make him a bad person josh has a heart of gold and would do anything need be in order to help others he loves his children like crazy and would do whatever to assure they get what ever they need most people who don’t like josh more than likely don’t like him because he called you out on your shit josh has always called it like he seen it and that affends a large portion of our law abiding citizens who live on your high horse thinking your better than these so called criminals josh is a product of our society he could be any one of your sons he has been in and out lock up his hole adult life what you think he learned from that he learned how the system really works our system is crap our on police force and politicians are the biggest drug dealers of them all but know body wants to hear that our system is designed for failure and to do one thing and one thing only to make money not to help anyone almost exactly what josh us being critiszed for except he actually helped people
@fyaa if he’s helped so many people and gave so much to people then please tell me why he still hasn’t paid over $2,000 in restitution for Atleast one person I know that he stole over $2,000 worth of stuff from out of there backyard and driveway!?!?!?! Oh and that’s not including the other houses he hit in this neighborhood!!! He’s had since 2020 to pay and hasn’t paid a flippin dime! He’s a worthless piece of crap that is never gonna stop he didn’t deserve a bond!!! Maybe you are part of his problem since u see no wrongs in him!
14 time convicted felon…33 years old and a lifetime of crime…this fella doesn’t want to swap his thug life for an honest profession. He’s had his chances at straightening up. Even after he got out of prison he was back in jail for this type of behavior not 6 months out.
@Fyaaa…did you offer him a job? Did you try and change this lifestyle or did you benefit from his criminal ways? There’s plenty of opportunity for convicted criminals/felons to gain meaningful employment…one just has to have that WANT TO and apparently, after looking over his entries into the jail log, he has wasted his life on being a thug who pedals poison on the very streets we call home.
@ Jason…really? I agree with WWJD as far as the rest of the residents on this street being good people. We can’t control what our neighbors do.
@ Mr. David Green…I always enjoy reading your take on these articles. I agree with you on this one
Ohhh, where’s Bob?
I believe our country needs to buy some islands and put these criminals on them. One for people committing murder, one for drug dealers, and so on. I’m getting tired of this crap.
@Fyaaa I guarantee you at some point all those people around him told him to live right stop breaking the law, but he chose to continue, he knew what the consequences were when he signed up. And he’s been given chance after chance. So no sympathy here at all.
REGARDING :
“Idon’t see any of you stepping up to offer him a job or teach him how to be different… I’ll wait.”
You will wait for someone else to do it right?
Did we not offer him free public education? How is it that he failed while others have somehow not committed over 14 felonies? have not made careers of crime?
AND:
“he helps everyone he can”
Good. He can help all of us by not committing crimes.
You criticize us for criticizing his actions. You do this despite all the good we have done….well maybe not me but surely some of us have done good things.
David for better people
It’s funny, no one wants to mention how much he helps everyone he can , I don’t see anyone blaming the system that sets him and many others up for failure because it’s nearly impossible for them to gets a job that slightly supports living in this economy. This is all some people know but that doesn’t make them horrible people. I know of many times he has fed people, gave people money, gas, helped feed peoples kids and with anything any child needs, he works hard to help when he sees a chance. But no one will mention that will they . It’s easy to sit there and critisizbut I don’t see any of you stepping up to offer him a job or teach him how to be different… I’ll wait.
@Jason, maybe the county should bulldoze your home! Shame on you for judging everyone on that end of Ryale without knowing anything about them or their situation. I happen to know several elderly people who live there, who have probably contributed more to this county and country than you! Didn’t some really special guy say something about people living in glass houses throwing stones? What a mean, ignorant thing to say about people who you have never met!
I might be wrong but I thought that after 3 felonies, you go to jail for life. 3 strike law or something like that. If he’s been charged 21 times and convicted 14 times but yet he keeps getting out, that screams nark to me. He must be snitching on a ton of folks out here.
PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT U KNOW YOU’RE DONE…..HE’LL PROBABLY NEVER SHOW UP ON HIS COURT DATE KNOWING HES DONE….
CANT BELIVE HE GOT BAIL
“Come on, judge. Gimme thirty-seven more chances. Please.”
Well let’s see 14 times that tells me he’s not gonna stop doing what he’s doing so let put the blame on the people that deserve it like the one who works for the justice system !! This judge needs to. Be removed permanently !!! He ain’t stopping so put him away permanently !!!
Went to school with this dude, crazy how people change. Stay away from drugs. Jail time will hopefully wake him up.
This is getting old the justice system is screwed up it’s all about money bet he is already out on bail. Who comes up with these bail amounts?
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! What is wrong with our judicial system???14 times and NOT in prison???? Do us all favor and put this poison spreader in prison and THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!!
He has spent most of his youth being arrested. When does it end?
Already out on bail.
Whoever bailed him out is part of the problem.
Leave him in long enough to get sober for a little while.
Just a money racket game. Know guy in moline been dealing since early 80s and still at it. Explain that one.
Slow learner, when is he going to get the habitual offender charge?
Under Florida Statute § 775.084, a habitual felony offender is defined as any person commits any combination of two or more felonies in this State or other qualified offenses. Depending on the underlying charge, you could face a maximum sentence of 10 years, 30 years, or even life in prison.
And they let him bailout the guy that tells about cops and bail bonds are all tied together in drug problem must be right.people better wake up
I went to school with totty he was a good kid up until about 8th grade then the trouble started sorry to hear he has once again got himself in trouble but maybe some prison time will wake him up
Looks like the court system is not working with this thug. I’m guessing when the DRUGS he’s selling kills someone then maybe the system will put his butt away!
14 time CONVICTED FELONY charges and still out peddling poison. Our hard working LEOs risk their lives catching scum and our impotent prosecutors and judges release them back into society to do it all over again.
14 time convicted felon at 33 years old and he’s still walking the streets? That speaks volumes about our judicial system.
A 14 times convicted felon arrested for 14 more felonies released on a low bond for a drug dealer. Why was this thug released? Bet he doesn’t show for court.
The County should come in and bulldoze that entire section of Ryale Road and replant it in Pine Trees. It would be a huge improvement to the quality of life for its surrounding neighbors.
