In response to the previous post made by MrObvious. You really have no idea what this case is really about. You have no idea what your talking about. Joshua has learned a valuable leason. He has also entered into a drug program, and may I say is on the right track. He has done alot of growing up in this time and I am very proud of him. If you are without sin then throw the first stone, Isnt that the Jesus said? Maybe you need to look in the mirror or better yet pick up the bible and say a pray for Joshua. Because thats what we are going to do for you. Most of the crimes that happen in Wayne Co. never make it to the court room. Can you explain that too? Im sure if this was a member of you family or even a friend of yours you would see this differently. I am not saying what happened was right, Joshua did do wrong. But he is paying for that. If you really want to complain then write a letter about the drug problem that we have, or about drunk drivers.

Wow, just a year? The majority of crimes committed with a firearm in the US are committed with STOLEN firearms. Seems that they caught one of the sources and only gave him a slap on the wrist.
