THIS IS WHAT ROCK BOTTOM LOOKS LIKE | parole revocation hearing

[@lilaudrey8]

i Pray he gets the help he needs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@okie-in-florida]

Please if you can keep up with him. That would be awesome

[@jessedeen7244]

And the cops keep talking next room….after being told to sush….😂😂😂

[@nicholewhite1421]

He wants the treatment and that is so rare. Hood luck to this young man.

[@txtrinabr5107]

This hit me hard... to think that he has been going thru hardship since he was a toddler 😢😢😢. Ppl please do right by your children or don't have children, they deserve way better. I pray that he is able to get clean and on the right track.

[@GeeNoniGee]

I was sad that my son has decided to never have kids, but I got to thinking about it, and I'm not sad, anymore. Life is SO damn hard, why volunteer anyone for it? He said if he changes his mind, he will adopt someone already here.

[@otissmith7057]

I never heard of Randy Lee Kim Jr until just now, but I will surely from time to time, remember his story and wish the best for him.

[@carlalongerbeam774]

My mother just celebrated 50 years of sobriety on December 24th 2022. She says that she was sick & tired of being sick & tired. Alcohol dictated & controlled her life.

[@m0rbidm0mma]

Oh wow, this one pulled at my heart strings😢 .....I have been to the bottom, but damnit, i climbed back up to the top, and he can too!!! I know it! He just needs love and help ..... The board seemed as though they genuinely wanted to help!!!!!😢😢😢❤

[@bytchesagainstbullshyt3696]

He has to love himself FIRST before he can give or receive love and he needs to respect himself before others will, hopefully he takes this time to turn it around, it starts with accountability, so he has a chance

[@goatbut29]

So proud of you! Our own personal bottom is hard to express and you did a great job! Stay strong!

[@chelsjo4315]

Bless his heart💔 I hope he comes out strong

[@SLE2003]

I love that he did not even ask how long would he be in treatment....that says something 🙏

[@SLE2003]

I pray he takes this to heart and gets some good help!!! Will be prayIng for this young man for sure ❤

[@rickarra1833]

I didn't think enough about him until you said, think about his disappointment going to see his mother. That turbed it all around for me. I could imagine once he got there to see his mother and he realized that she doesn't give a damn about him. The disappointment in his head must have been enormous

[@terintiaflavius3349]

Yeah that is something that is truly horrible. One doesn't simply recover from something like that. That is his mom.

[@invisible4445]

This made me sad. Poor guy. I hope he does well.

[@addie_is_me]

Me too. It won’t be easy for him, but he wants out of the cycle, so I’m hopeful for him getting Hoyle. Or whichever program. Hope you’re feeling well today. ❤

[@addie_is_me]

I like how upfront he is about his violations. Thanks for leaving in all that stuff at the beginning with the board realizing he was trying to not get in trouble and they had his back. Lol That was cool.

[@christiansmith4421]

May God help this man!

[@AlexCentury]

As a recovering addict myself, rock bottom is death. There are just a lot of ledges on the way down. The upside is that you get to pick which one is the last one.

[@terriammon9767]

Mandoo I was in his shoes Drug use wise and Mr Kemp is tired. There are different levels of being tired and he is Rock Bottom TIRED. To walk into a Police Station and say Lock me up is a sign of being really TIRED. I WISH HIM THE BEST. IT WON'T BE EASY BUT I'M CONFIDENT HE'LL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. I've been Clean and Sober for 19yrs come July. He can certainly do it. THANKS MANDOO. GREAT HEARING

[@HB.hobby.apiarist]

Sometimes good people do bad things. Sometimes bad things happen to good people.. AND sometimes we see people take responsibility and rise above bad actions and want to do better. I hope those people succeed

[@shelbywilmoth839]

I wish him well.

[@edwardranno7119]

Hope everything works out for this guy

[@insanadee5084]

That interruption was completely disrespectful to board members, the inmate, and the proceedings.

[@CarlaHanson68]

Sending that young man love and support 🙏❤️

[@ritagreen9528]

Wishing him the best for recovery 🤗

[@goatbut29]

Does he know so many of us are out here on his side?! So much support he has no idea exists?! I'd be honored and want better for myself! Hope he does too!

[@carolfromalbertacanada]

Randy do your best out there ,,, you deserve happiness and a good life. Hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🩵🩵🩵

[@chickenlittle5095]

After reaching out for help I was surprised with how many people (complete strangers even) who had my back! My number one piece of advice to anyone out there struggling with ANYTHING is you are not alone and you are certainly not the first person to go through whatever you are going through!!! With so many millions of people who have lived on this ball of rock and dirt, I can guarantee you that someone, somewhere has a story similar to yours. I know it is difficult to air your dirty laundry BUT it is the first step to getting the help you need. We have your back 💯

[@lindsaynash3653]

Chicken little, I hope you don’t mind but I screen shot your comment to help remind me it’s ok to ask for help, I’m a widowed mom with two boys and honestly, I have been struggling with keeping up with the place. I think your comment will help me, even if it wasn’t specifically meant for me.

[@chickenlittle5095]

@@lindsaynash3653 It was meant for anyone who has felt this exact way, hopeless and alone. I am happy it made an impact on you and I hope many others. Many of us have been in that hole thinking there is no way out…. Look up! You can see the sun. It is there but may have a little cloud cover BUT it is still there. Keep on fighting for your boys and for you!

[@kealanimatsumiya-delay2732]

He is a very honest and upright person but he's not ready to be out.

[@GraceeT616]

Sometimes rock bottom has a basement. He's in the basement. Hopefully he gets the help he needs

[@scottmccrea1873]

Hopefully, he's found the staircase.

[@terellstraughter5007]

Wowwwww

[@tracyt.2534]

I hope it works out for him!!!

[@elixabethcaudill2831]

I hope he makes it.

[@heatherking8689]

He called Mrs. Jackson Mrs. Wise 😂

[@addie_is_me]

Missed that. She should have smacked him.

[@sandylewandowski6119]

[@sandylewandowski6119]

Hi mandoo have a nice weekend with your family 👋👋🐢🐢🤗🤗💕💕I figured ha was going to get a slap down lol I hope it hey help him and he does well.

[@mandoo1396]

🤟

[@DearEvette]

😢Man! I pray he breaks free. I don't know what kinda spirit is hovering over the state of Louisiana but so many of these offenders have tried hard drugs as a preteen, no GED's, dripping out in 7th and 8th grade😭🙏🏿. They need more "progrums" outside than inside. 😢

[@amywade4035]

he definitely seems determined, I wish him the very best

[@SafeHaven33]

Here for this 🔥 as usual content!! 😊

[@west0498]

I pray he takes advantage of that program and that he’s successful. He should be out by now. Hope he’s doing well.

[@canileaveitblank1476]

Anyone else need to increase play speed? I do 1.5x so my head doesn’t explode. 😂 ❤️🍀

[@GeeNoniGee]

Sometimes, lol! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

[@paulmorley1225]

Mr. Pete Fremin does a great job at acting like he doesn't give a damn.

[@Twisted.Ginger]

You can just look at his eyes and emotions...this man has been and seen a lot! Bless his heart! Takes a lot to ask for the long term treatment then supervision!😢❤️🙏

[@cherveny]

think he was being very honest and open. heres hoping hes able to beat his addictions. this is what sentances for drug addicts should be about, not punishment for addiction but treatment to help liberate them from the addicition dragging them down in life

[@Mantuamaker]

It’s only by the Grace of God and a good experience with the social service system that I didn’t end up in a similar boat as him. My parents abandoned me at 19 months old and though I was tossed back to them a few times, I was finally able to find a great family. Although that all happened over 30 years ago it still leaves a memory. I really hope he not only gets treated for the addiction but that he can get some good counseling too. I wish there was a better way to help kids deal with that type of trauma.

[@Hunnebrown]

How dare Mrs Jackson make those statements about his mother? I understand that he hadn't seen her in decades but kids always want the love of their parents.

[@GurleyGurl312]

He is sick and tired of being sick and tired. I truly hope this man has reached his breaking point. It broke my heart when he spoke about the woman who birthed him. She was never a mother to him. But for some reason it is our human instinct to long for that connection with our birth mother, no matter how horrible they may be. And I am sure his birth mother came from a dysfunctional family. She may not have been given the skills to be a good mother. Hopefully this man will break the cycle.

[@carrolabrams2659]

Off to Steve Hoyle - a win / win!

[@joycerabbitt4362]

This hearing was very disturbing. Clearly the employees at the prison are ignorant. They were specifically asked to speak quietly to not disrupt the hearing three times. They have no respect for the Parole Board. All you could hear was braying like a donkey. The board should complain to whoever is in charge, if anyone.

[@jessicajesc]

Wow

[@mandoo1396]

Yupp

[@jeremyjones8872]

@18:30 mrs jackson tells mr roche to "just answere him" i think mrs jackson has alot of empathy for him with what he jas dealt with..great job board! (Please stop havn MR roche do all the talking as chairman) drives me nuts when everyone else is 100% able to do it ALL THE TIME🙂

[@missj195]

She probably wanted money from him. No wonder he is where he is today.

[@ninasage7735]

hello Mando. hope you have a nice weekend

[@mzzbrowniez]

😢

[@scottmccrea1873]

Heartbreaking is the word. One of my best friends had a similar childhood - early drug use, horrific physical abuse. He caught a felony and changed his life thereafter. This guy isn't a pervert, abuser or killer. Do we know what his original charge was @mandoo ?

[@Sassystarlily]

Those rude loud mouths need to respect the board and be quiet.

[@goochI034]

Dont be too sad for him. Its a very good thing that he has reached his rock bottom because that means he is ready to face his addiction and take it serious. So many people die before hitting their rock bottom.

[@bobbybaldwin3197]

Glad he's asking for help I hope he gets that monkey off his back

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

I'm going to disagree with most people's comments. In my opinion - this guy is a master manipulator! From the first word out of his mouth. He conjured that story to dance around the truth. He gets out in July 2022 fails 4 drug tests, has a PO who is trying to help him. **4 dirty piss test in 3 months. Doesn't work even though it sounds like he could have. He then leaves the state and comes up with a heartstrings story about a mom he hasn't seen in years only to top the story off with her dying to oh she was incarcerated for 15 yrs and for all he knows she back in jail. Sorry, I'm not buying his story

[@GeeNoniGee]

I'm kinda with you. He's been in and out so many times, he knew this was his Hail Mary and he was probably surprised that they gave it to him.

[@paul9745pdb]

The questioner needs to retire. Barely understandable.

[@johnharling5246]

I'm sorry but no treatment program will help him what he needs is someone to love and care for . that they will, in turn, love and care for him., he also needs a job and somewhere to live away from the temptation of drugs. He needs a purpose in life at the moment all he has are drugs to make him feel good and block out his miserable existence he reminds me of the other guy who was let down by everyone. He is one of the very few I do wish well

[@GeeNoniGee]

The programs will give him the coping skills and information that he needs to succeed, moving forward.

[@ritaroth9413]

I'm afraid I can't watch anymore of these until the board sends the old incoherent guy out to pasture. He's way past his prime. Can't understand a word he mumbles. Sorry.

[@ThePonyaS]

Reallyb🤔 I understood every word he said yes he talks slower

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

your commentary is inane and pointless, you add nothing with it and as a matter of fact you detract from the content by adding it.

[@Pumpkinnan]

💔🥺 wow, you can read in his face how beaten down emotionally he’s become. I hope he means this, and realizes there’s so much more to life than being manipulated by so called loved ones that should have your back. Hope the best for this guy. He really needs a strong support system ….💪🏻❤️‍🩹
