- 1:44Speaker 2: stolen vehicle related convictions, and grand theft, and he still
- 1:48Speaker 2: decided to drive to probation in a vehicle he allegedly stole.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Prime example that you can't rehabilitate somebody who refuses to
- 1:55Speaker 2: participate in their own rehabilitation. Okay, I've been on probation
- 1:59Speaker 2: before many of us have, and probation is essentially the
- 2:02Speaker 2: justice system saying we're gonna give you an opportunity to
- 2:05Speaker 2: stay out here in these streets, but you've got to show.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Us you can follow some basic rules.
- 2:09Speaker 2: And if you can follow some basic rules, then you
- 2:12Speaker 2: can stay out of prison.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Pretty fair deal, if you ask me. Okay.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So when you see brothers like Joshua that's moving the
- 2:17Speaker 2: way they are moving, all it makes you think is
- 2:21Speaker 2: they must got a prison babe, okay, because they trying
- 2:24Speaker 2: hard to get a sentence.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And we don't talk about that enough.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Okay, we don't talk about the fact that times are
- 2:30Speaker 2: hard out here, and financially, some guys might feel like
- 2:33Speaker 2: it behooves them to be in prison. Okay, you get
- 2:35Speaker 2: three meals, room and board. Don't got to worry about
- 2:37Speaker 2: no bills. If you're fluid like many men are. Okay,
- 2:41Speaker 2: Nowadays you can find your homemte, all right, And some
- 2:44Speaker 2: people like josh don't need to be caught.
- 2:47Speaker 1: They eventually turned themselves in creatively. Okay. Police didn't even
- 2:51Speaker 1: have to chase josh down, all right.
- 2:53Speaker 2: According to authorities here, allegedly delivered himself and the evidence
- 2:57Speaker 2: to the probation office dash.
- 3:00Speaker 1: For law enforcement.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Okay, anyone who's been on probation knows that being on
- 3:05Speaker 2: probation requires situational awareness.
- 3:08Speaker 1: All right, if you're already under supervision, your margin for
- 3:11Speaker 1: stupidity is extremely, extremely low.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Okay, your life has essentially been put on don't do
- 3:18Speaker 2: anything stupid mode. And Josh, being on probation for vehicle
- 3:21Speaker 2: theft and then driving to your probation officer and said vehicle.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Is extremely stupid. Okay.
- 3:27Speaker 2: This is what happens when accountability becomes an appointment instead
- 3:32Speaker 2: of a lifestyle. Okay, when you're on probation, holding yourself
- 3:35Speaker 2: accountable has to be a lifestyle, not just an appointment.
- 3:38Speaker 2: You can't smoke weed and do drugs while you're on
- 3:40Speaker 2: probation and then when you are about to have a
- 3:42Speaker 2: probation here and drink a bunch of detoxes and try
- 3:45Speaker 2: to flush it out your system because you have an
- 3:47Speaker 2: appointment with your PO. No, you have to hold yourself
- 3:50Speaker 2: accountable the whole time you're on probation.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Living in a way that keeps you from violating probation
- 3:57Speaker 2: is the assignment.
- 3:58Speaker 1: That's your one job, that's.
- 4:00Speaker 2: It, and you know you're living wrong when your transportation
- 4:04Speaker 2: to accountability becomes another reason you need accountability.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Please give Joshua that the sweet size of the Hamilton's.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Oh No, you are the Doggee of.
- 4:17Speaker 3: The day, the Doggee all the day.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Gee. I always remember, kids, second chances only work when
- 4:32Speaker 2: you make a better first choice.
