“Jackson’s kid shouldn’t go to jail,” Strickland wrote on X. “Prison should always be a last resort.”

“I was arrested at 19 for two Felony A GBIs [Great Bodily Injuries],” he wrote. “I would of spent 5 to 6 years in prison if the DA had its way. After 6 years in a cell coming out with nothing, being indoctrinated with gangs and violence, I guarantee I would of killed someone. There was one guy telling me about how he picked up a murder charge and I remembered being impressed by him. That would of been my future.”

A plea deal for 100 days of jail or work release, anger management, and restitution kept him from a worse path.

    He shouldn’t go to jail for almost beating someone’s face to a pulp because… He could turn into a murderer?

      lol, right. It is not logical.

      I am not a Sean Strickland fan, but I sometimes find his remarks a bit disarming due to their frankness and honesty… And then I see other remarks and have to remember that this guy is not that bright, and then I saw this and thought… This guy is a goof.
