Jonny "Bones" Jones and his DUI

Jon Jones has been a topic of debate this last week with his recent DUI arrest. But I think before we all start throwing stones we should take a step back and breathe. It is important to remember that Jon Jones is still a 24 year old kid dealing with the pressures of sudden super stardom; he is a role model, but he is not perfect. People need to remember this before they start dragging his name through the mud. Please don’t misunderstand me, I am in no way condoning his actions, it is always wrong to drive under the influence, but the situation could have been a whole lot worse. Luckily no one was injured or killed. Jones has stood up and accepted responsibility for his actions and apologized, what matters now is how he moves forward. Given his track record I think this incident will be quickly forgotten.
