This is such a terrible story. God Bless this kid's family and friends. And lets face it, he was a kid, 25 yrs old. RIP Jerry Brown.
I am not going to be a hypocrite and call out Josh Brent. Others can, I cannot. I suffered through alcohol abuse for years but now havent had a drink in 15+ years. Back in my drinking days, this could've very easily been me. Truth be told, it should've been me. I was LUCKY. Josh Brent was not.
Just an awful story and there isnt much more I can say. God Bless all involved and their families and friends.
