You couldn't have put it any other way my man. And man i feel you with the everyday struggle, your 110% correct on that, it is a war & battle each & everyday man. I can see, you live the Warrior lifestyle on a daily basis & as far as the preaching, man you hit home with every word you said dude. By the way Ross, It wasn't Evil 6 i performed yesterday, i had that messed up for a minute. It wa the sandbag complex from FTC. I performed it with my waterball. Man that s**t kicked A**. it's hands down toughest one i done yet. How sweet it was though. Dragonn76. You couldn’t have put it any other way my man.

Don't spend all your bullets in one gunfight. I think I see where Jim is trying to come from. Check this out Jim, Jensen's body became a slave to his addiction and you know what they say "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" We all fight this battle daily. Naw, I don't feel like working out today. Naw, My sh*t hurts everywhere. Naw, my boys want to go out for pizza and beer. Every cell in our body is at war inside of us, they resist our disciplined approach to life. Now add an addiction to that mix. Jensen is fighting the good fight and frankly "Who gives a sh@t about 15yrs ago and in between". Jim it sounds like you have some demons that you need to get out on the pavement and wrestle yourself. We all do! SO ACCEPT. People that hurt others are on a self destructive ride. All you have to do is sit back and watch. If they manage to get off the coaster and fix their broken lives. How can this not make our world a better place? Especially if they aim to help others. How many convicts do you think that must have inspired when Jensen went back to prison to face those demons. This kind of thinking is what we as civilized society need. Not the Salem witch hunts. Ross, sorry for preaching. I just can't stand hateful people who see no light at then end of the tunnel.

He shouldn't have waited that long. And I'm sure that the people he hurt along the way will remind him of this......

This is your boy Chuck! This was truly inspiring Ross, really man. I have alot of respect for this man. What he accomplished people like Jim would probably break physically & mentally if he was in those shoes. Just like the rest of the world everybody looks at the negativitey all the time, we need to pay attention to the important things in life the things that are gonna result your ending in your chapter of life & Jensen is a true warrior for what he has endured, to come back from all of that and do what he's doing now that gets nothing but 110% respect from me. Jim your 110% correct there are no victims in life only volunteers. It's a shame you fell Victim to the position you carry in life which is ( HATER ) so do yourself a favor and volunteer your life into quit being typical. Cheers to true warriors in life!!! Which i know plenty of us are. Ain't it great to live OUTLAWED to jim's world. By the way Ross. I just finished doing Evil 6. That was the shit Ross. I loved that one more than any other one so far i think. Whatever F**ks me up the most is what i praise man. Keep the good s**t coming Coach. Hey Ross! This is your boy Chuck!

I applaud Jensen and wish him well. His story will echoe the halls of jails and prisons everywhere and just maybe more will be inspired to turn their lives around. As for Jim, words are cheap and unless you have been that person you cannot judge a person. Ultimately, only we know what really lurks inside of us.

The message behind the story was that we can all turn our lives around (if necessary). If Jensen was able to kick a bad habit of drugs and turn his life around at age 36, others should realize that they too can initiate positive change in their lives. That is the message that I am trying to convey. Nothing more and nothing less. Ross Jim – No one is applauding his past, or trying to say that anything he did was acceptable.

Thanks for posting. I work around a lot of criminals which can be kind of depressing and make one feel cynical after a while. It's nice to see a story about somebody who turned their life around.
