facebook has DJK's back

[silvanthalas]

What does this have to do with the presence of positive comments indicating many people who are supportive of DJK?

The fact that he apparently can't take it like a man, perhaps?

Oh so we're playing the guilty by association card, huh?

You live with a drug dealer, you deserve whatever blame comes your way when you get caught with drugs. And that is what happened to DJK.

 

[GoHawks24]

I sure as heck wouldn't allow a drug dealer to be living under my roof, and if I did I would definitely feel responsible for the consequences of his actions. People with standards as low as yours are a problem in society.

Wow. Just, wow. You know what another problem with our society is? People like you who pass judgement on a person they don't know a thing about.

Man, some of you guys act like you've never made a mistake in your life. And some are acting like the guy harmed somebody. The guy made a mistake. Did he actually hurt anybody in any way besides himself and maybe his family? No. Some people need to take a chill pill and get off of their high horse.

He hurt the Iowa program by selfishly putting himself ahead of the program. He let his teammates down and every kid that looked up to him as a role model.

He knew damn well what was going on in that house and that many are hurt by drug use. Who is responsible if not DJK himself. I don't feel sorry for him at all but do hope he gets his head on straight.

So, let me get this straight: You are passing judgment on smoot by calling him a problem with society for his passing judgment on DJK for being a druggie?

Irony strikes again!

How did I pass judgement on him? All I said was that another problem with society is people that pass judgement on a person (he stated I'm a problem because I have low standards; did you not read that?) they don't know whatsoever. I didn't question his character or values as he did mine.

You are right. I apologize for insulting you, but DJK's actions are indefensible. Hopefully the guy gets his act together, but what he did does not deserve our pity.

You act like I have a link

 

[latrans]

You people have lost your d*mn minds.

 

[HawkeyeNTexas]

my suggestion is most people should avoid the Facebook of people they dont know.

I agree 100%.

 

[imported_ankle23]

facebook is dumb.

agreed. but for the attention whore, it is great.

 

[jparmley3]

I'm not a hater on this. My own experiences make me biased, but I put this on my own FB page and I am going to share it with him. I may come off a bit sappy, but I just wanted to share...

I was gonna leave this alone, but I can't. Many folks are hatin on an IA FB playa when he made a serious mistake. That can't be argued, but instead of hating on him, why not support the team and hope that a "kid", ya a "kid" can make his life right. Y'al know someone who did sumthin alot worse than DJK, so keep your l...ove for IA FB and hope the best for someone who made our Saturdays enjoyable for the last few years.

Um, this just in: DJK is 21 or 22 years old.

He is not a kid anymore. He is old enough to make 'rational' decisions.

That being said, everyone makes a mistake or two. But, diving into that any more deeply would open a political barnstorm. So, I will leave it as is.

 

[Iowafarmgirl]

Facebook is drugs for attention whores. Except for DJK. His drugs are drugs, as well as Facebook.

 

[DaHawk56]

No, parking in front of a hydrant is a mistake. Selling cocaine is a crime. A felony is not a mistake. He engaged in premeditated illegal activity. And of course he hurt somebody. You seriously think dealing coke doesn't hurt people? Have you ever met a drug dealer? You honestly think they have a nuetral effect on the community? You think DJK's (alleged) actions have not had a negative effect on the community?

Are some of you so clueless on the effect of drug dealing that you are willing to absolve this man of all the responsibility for his actions? There is football, and there is real life. This guy is a football hero, and a real life bad guy. Yes he can be redeemed, but you have to acknowledge he is a bad guy first, and many of you refuse to accept that!




This.

DJK was not charged with selling coke (or selling any other drugs for that matter).

DJK was not charged with any felonies.

DJK's roommate was also not charged with selling coke (he was charged selling pot).

I believe the only coke in the house was residue in DJK's room. According to reports, there were also pictures of DJK with what appeared to be coke on his computer.

^^I can't tell if you think all of those statements make it better or worse.

DJK's facebook page is back up and running. Given the sentiments on his 'wall postings' from his friends/fans/family he's got a world of supporters and people who care enough to be disappointed but to not turn their backs on him.

A lot of people have said a lot of things about him on these boards in the last couple of days, good bad or indifferent. My suggestion would be that if you have something you want to get off your chest regarding the man DJK, tell it to him, stop hiding behind a monicker of complete anonymity.

DJK is going to be ok, with or without some of you.

Yeah, that's right! Be a man and talk crap to DJK through Facebook. That'll prove how tough you are. We're fans of the Iowa football team, not family of DJK's. If a guy makes a string of DUMB decisions, it's okay to "turn your back on him."

If these charges prove to be true, he's nothing more than a punk, drug dealing, drug abusing football player who thought he could get away with anything and an embarassment to the Iowa football program.

He's not a 16 year old kid, he's a 23 year old man. He brought this upon himself, time to face the consequences of his actions, just like everyone else.

Just simply stating the information as we know it. I mean, I know how much more interesting and fun it is to make assumptions and accusations of things that didn't actually occur but I think it would probably be best to stick with the facts as we know them.

DJK is more of a Hawkeye than your sorry butt will ever be. He's dedicated much of the past 5 years of his life to this program and has embraced the black and gold and supported the fans more than a single member of the current team or staff. What the heck have you done besides sit behind a keyboard and be the smug, arrogant, holier than thou Hawk fan that the rest of the country sees us as? I'm more embarrassed by our supposed "Hawkeye Nation" turning their backs on a member of our Hawkeye family than I am of anything DJK has ever done. DJK screwed up, big time. But you're a pathetic excuse for a person and a fan if you can sit there and cast stones at DJK labeling him "nothing more than a punk, drug dealing, drug abusing football player". You're disgusting and I pray that when life kicks you square in the jim you have friends and family who don't turn their backs on you, because nobody deserves that, no matter what they've done.

This.

What I don't get about everybody ragging on DJK is this: You say he's "hurting other people" by his drug dealing ways (let's keep in mind here that DJK was not charged with selling or distributing, only possessing) and you're expecting DJK to take responsibility for his actions while you're pretty much making him the scapegoat for other people's problems because he's the one that supplies it to them? How about making "druggies" accountable for their own actions and not blaming it on whoever they're getting it from. If they can't get it from one person they're going to get it from somebody else.

Because that's exactly what life did to DJK, right? It made him do pot and cocaine and abuse prescription drugs?

I'm glad we've straightened out who's responsible for what here.

No man or woman is without sin. We all fall short of perfection through our own devices. You are no better than DJK, no worse. No matter how hard you try, you are like the rest of us.

We each have a background that only we alone can understand. Each of our decisions in life are heavily influenced by the life we have lived, the life we were given and the life we have chosen. We are not absolved of the responsibilities and consequences of the decisions we make but we are most certainly a product of our own circumstances. We all got dealt different hands, we've all made poor decisions in playing the hands we have been dealt. Your poor decisions are no better or worse than any others'. Your inability to accept that suggests that you are a man who struggles greatly with pride. I assure you, your fall is coming, and I pray that someone is there to pick you up. God bless.
