Updated – I had some really unnecessary stuff in the last paragraph I have removed and I have updated the entry after having received a few emails from concerned family members.
The thing that we don’t consider sometimes is the damage that addicts along with other criminals do to their family and loved ones along with the victims. Take Shane for instance. He has parents (who have several other happy children that have never been in trouble), a little boy and other friends who have been forever hurt. I’ve been in touch with a family member off and on since I originally posted this and they are all hurt and damaged. Maybe not as much as the victim, but the psychological damage that drug addicts can do is horrendous. Having experience addiction in my family first hand I can tell you that one of the hardest things to do is to let go of it. You can’t take care of them by enabling them to keep on the path of destruction and they will never quit until they’ve hit rock bottom and really want to quit.

I don’t know if you could have done anything differently. Addiction is a pretty hard monster to break and until a person has really truly hit whatever their bottom is and truly wants to quit using there is nothing you can do. Enabling them by trying to help generally backfires and just drags the addiction out even longer and sometimes turns the addict to hate the very people that are trying to help.
In responce to DICK (richard),Just about 2yrs ago I one day was awaken(wasn’t sleeping,I was HIGH)by my Loveing mother with a 1 way ticket to Tucson Az.where I have family members(Bless them)who gave me a second chance.I was then give a job by my cousins company,this is where I met Shane Johnson,By no means am I glorifying Shane,what he has allegedly done is probably the worst things imaginable!But would like to share my thaughts on Shane and Dick(richard)When I met Shane at this new job that i had gotton(but was not really sure i would stay)he was a pearky wise ass kid(i thaught)so we were a perfect match,Me getting the tough Love that i needed and wanted,meeting someone that fit my style(before my drug use started)So we talked at work daily,and seeing I was staying right down the road from where Shane lived we rode into work together alot,EVERY DAY,we would have a few beers after work at his house,he would go home and get right to doing yard work(i just sat and watched)My first summer here Shane had his son down for most of the summer,He was always a great dad to his boy!Shane has always done me good,was always there if i needed anything,well maybe a year,year and a half went by and Shane had ventured North(i think,still not really sure)found a great job,had a new suv,his own place,well our contacts became fewer and then none,Thaught it was strange but nothing i could do(didn’t have phone# or address,The next time I hear about my FRIEND is what i viewed here,DICKS(richard)comments.Funny thing DICK,don’t see your photo posted here,whats the matter afraid you might scare the hookers!Yes you and everybody has the right to your opinion,and i respect that,but see no need in bashing person about his/her apperance,I suppose your nails are finely manacured and your teeth whitened and perfectly straight!I THINK NOT YOU PRICK!Are you PERFECT?Think not again!My HEART and PRAYERS go out to this woman and anyone else suffering from this ordeal,I TRUELY MEAN THIS!I’ve been the addict I’ve been the crutch,But I NEVER JUDGED a person by the wayleast they look or dress,Looks and apparal do not make a person,YES MY FRIEND SHANE JOHNSON no matter how WRONG,(and may GOD FORGIVE HIM)to my knowledge never judged by apparance,and that in my opinion makes him a BETTER MAN than you DICK (richard)You (DICK) must not have read alot of books,seeing as you judge the book by its cover!!One more comment,don’t worry DICK done with you!!(and yes i did judge you without any problem or worry about me being hypocritical)(guess I’m a PRICK to,Oh well at least I can admit it! with a SMILE)Deep inside my blood is boiling(do not regret anything I have said)would probably ,NO DEFINATLY kick Shane right square in the nuts and hope they never fell back down,I will search deep to forgive my friend for what he has done,I know there is nothing that can make this woman feel the way she did before this life altering act,I hope that she will be able to recover and forever dispise my friend Shane Johnson for what he has done to her!!But also realize the affects that DRUGS/ALCOHOL have on people when abused,I’ve over done what i set out to do,so HATE ME if you like,but understand,this Shane Johnson COULD HAVE BEEN/COULD BE YOUR SON/FRIEND!! (DICK)
Toby, you are right, it could have been my friend or a relative that did it. If that were the case I damn sure wouldn’t be here defending them. Perhaps I am just too cold hearted but while I can still love my friends and family there is no way in hell I would be able to defend them on something like this.
Only losers blame drugs for their problems. Drug abuse is only a symptom of the real problem, whatever that may be. Maybe in your case it’s lack of spell check.
As far as photos, my photos are all over the site, as where I live and even my phone number. It’s no big secret because I am proud of what I do.
I am completly shocked at what I just learned about Shane Johnson and the crime that he is accused of. I grew up with Shane in a trailer park in Tucson AZ back in the early 80’s. We were part of a group of friends that were always together and did what was cool. We first started out by breaking small rules such as jumping the wall at the local Jr High School to go swimming in the pool to sneaking out late at night and riding our bikes and acting like we were part of a motorcyle group. We eventually tried drugs and that became a big part of our life. School soon became less interesting in our teen years and everything seemed to revolve around drugs. We had it all in our minds..We were part of a social group with long hair and had girls (who loved long hair rocker guys) all around us. Life was great but then I grew up and I guess shane didn’t..
He was the type that could talk to a beautiful woman and then next thing we knew he was either getting her number or taking her back to his place. He had the presence and the attitude to do anything he wanted to do and that is why I am so supprised at learning of his fate..I haven’t seen or talked to him for almost two decades but I wish I had.I feel for the victim and the family of the victim and Shanes family because I know them well but not for Shane..
A lot of people say that it’s the parents fault that people turn out to be rotten but i have to disagree. There were 6 of us that grew up together and did the drug thing and 4 out of the 6 turned out ok (don’t know what happened to the leader of the group). I am a financial advisor/ Banker, #2 works for a city department, #3 is a foreman for a construction company, #4 works in manufracturing #5 ?, and #6 Shane….Well I am going to guess his new career is not going to be pleasant..It’s not the parents fault in this one I know for a fact because I grew up with this man and I did envy him. He was loved and never went without. He always had the cool toys from tricked out go cart to a kick ass camaro..
Well I guess we create our own fate and Shanes is sealed for the rest of his life.
you know what so called margret!
ur so full of it!
your a bitch!
and you need to quit your shit!
he was a good man…. and you just use this for plubisity!
