On that note, though it's super difficult to do, we must all be cautious on how much we judge these poor dudes. Hitting a senior is deplorable and unacceptable to say the least, but it goes to show you what that evil drug will make people do. I've never met Mike Healey before, but I can almost guarantee you that he's not the monster that the evil drug has temporarily turned him into. I guess what I'm tryin' to say is that it could happen to anyone, you make a bad choice one night at a party or whatever and the next thing you know, you're hooked. People like this should be dealt with accordingly. If that had been my grandma, I think I know how I would've felt. The tough part is to be open minded to the situation, and realizing how messed up these cat's are when they do something like this. Detox and Rehab is exactly what these people need, yes they deserve to be punished for their act's, but cleaning them up through rehab is the key. I know I'm starting to sound like a bleeding heart, but I've seen this crap happen first hand to many times, and it's the only way to fix it, trust me. Pederson's younger brother Aaron was my best friend,he was one of the coolest guy's you could ever meet until his life went sideways, he got thrown in jail one time for some minor offence [ without any form of rehab] for 3 mnths. When he got out he just reverted back to his old ways. One year later a drunk driver ran into him head on and killed him. Had he got the proper treatment, he probably would not of even been driving that night. I hate that evil drug and what it does to people. So, we'll all keep our finger's crossed and hope that Mike Healey can turn his life around, I for one will be pulling for him.

Slow ~ Pro wrote: Just to let you all know, Mike DID NOT, beat up an old lady. This is the sole reason he was not sentenced to prison. For the record, what he did was grab her purse, and put his hand on her shoulder to separate the two. (purse & person)

I am not condoning the issue, it was wrong, Mike, admits he was a monster. The drug Mike was on, caused him to have sever with drawls... During these with drawls, he would have violent diarrhea, violent vomiting, and sweat profusely. Every two hours his body demanded the drug. At first the drug was a bad choice, but it became an addiction.

In his aging years, Mike, needed pain medication, for his many broken bones over his professional career. Few know that when Mike was racing for a world title, that he had crashed in a first Moto, and broke his neck. For the second Moto, he simply rolled a towel, and duct taped it to his neck, then went out and won the second moto. He was dedicated to winning for the USA. Unfortunately he lost to Travis Parker.

Mike's pain became harder to take... His downfall was when he met someone that showed him a drug that could relieve his pain. Opiates, turned Mike, in to a Monster.

Within two years Mike, will be here to apologize for all his actions. Still he knows, he will never be accepted by everyone.

As I look Mike, in the eyes, I see a new man. I also see shame, in what he has gone through. He has lost his home, and he has not seen his beloved daughter in six months.

I truly don't care being attacked on here, or any other board, for my actions in trying to save a man that I consider a great friend.

I challenge any, and all, to step to my face and talk to me. I fear none, and will gladly explain more.

Just so some you know, many of the prizes (swag) given away at the Vet Nationals this past week, came from Mike's garage. He asked me to donate to all the MXers.

The fact that Mike, has learned a horrible lesson, in a horrible way, does not mean he is a horrible person, but he did do a horrible thing. He knows, I know, and his mother knows...

The Judge, called him a coward, and a Monster... But the judge also admitted that because he only has the ONE offense, and that he is a man worth rehabilitating, he made a personal, and special call to the Delancey street foundation. Mike, was interviewed, on October 21st, and accepted.

For those of you believe that drugs are a poor excuse, Mike Healey, 100% agrees with you. Speaking with Mike Healey's long time great friend Mike Ulrich, he spoke of how Mike Healey, would get extremely angry for those that made the choice of drug use... That's the ironic part. Mike, never expected this of himself. Not an excuse, but a reason.

Thanks again, to all those that supported in this very, touchy matter. I have received so many cool letters, and the letters from the big wigs in the industry are really touching, only because they have seen this far to often ion many professional racers.

Through my/our challenge of this matter, I have been blind sided by how many Pros, are using, it is sad, and it all stems from pain.

Now, I am off to fight The Family court, to allow Mike, to see his daughter.

Good, or bad, opinions, thanks for reading.

I seriously doubt you or anyone else on this site would be ok w/it if it was their grandmas. People need to put themselves in the place of the victim or the victims family before you sympathize with Mike. Also if this was a random person on drugs that attacked a old woman all of you guys would be all about locking the scumbag up but because it's an ex pro you think it's a good thing he got smacked on the wrist. I don't get it. Like a lot of you grew up watching,cheering and idolizing Mike but to me all that was erased when he attacked a helpless old lady.

I also love how the last post says he didn't beat up an old lady. You can go ahead and minimize it if it makes you feel better. I know he didn't beat her up but he did hurt her when he shoved her and stole her purse. To me that's bad enough.

If my friend did what Mike did I would probably support him after the fact in hopes to get my old friend back. Drugs are a shitty thing but they don't make people do what Mike did unless there are other issues within that person that are not being addressed. I've had my battles in the past with drugs(serious battles) and have had a lot of friends go down that road too. None of them ever robbed an old lady though. If Mike and everyone around him is blaming the drugs and not puting the responsibility on Mike the problem will never be fixed.

I do wish you and Mike luck on figuring it all out though.

I was not present when the ladies family was. I know he apologized to the family. He apologized to the courts, and to the state of California.

Mike, has this chance to try and make amend to his actions. It will never be right.

I try hard to understand how all this happened, but I can't... I can't because I have never been in the delusional state Mike, was in.

I do know have been in situations where people would tell me everything would be fine, when a few seconds could have killed me.

My life recently was turned upside down, I am fortunate that I had friends pull me out of my depression otherwise I recently would have hung myself. Nobody knows, unless you walk in those shoes.

Understand also, I too, am trying to figure this out... I am just a few steps closer, and want to help where I can, if I can.
