Is this even “news” at this point ? ( Nico Izzi )

Cocaine?

Some people just can’t make good decisions. Bummer.  

He's pro electric?

He stole a stark? Wass is really nailing this marketing 

Sucks to hear but most people probably saw it coming.

All for giving people second chances, but it sucks more to hear for the people helping out with bikes and gear and everything else, and of course the other people effected, than it does for Izzi.

Props for trying to help a dude when he's down, but sucks to see people get burnt.

"You mentioned Battery twice."

"I like Battery."

$hit Leopard can’t change its spots.

I wish him the best, and hope he keeps trying until he makes it.

People change their spots all the time.  It's not easy, but it is 100% worth it, always.

I believe people can change anything they want about themselves, and I live by that.

Untrue but a nice way to live 

Can you post a link to this?

This has been going on for years and he has had many opportunities to clean up and be a reputable citizen of society. We all have to get up in the morning and GO EARN A LIVING.

I do not feel sorry for him and maybe a long prison sentence will give him time to think about how to tidy himself up. He had it all and he fucked it all up. 

Are we sure these are new charges?  Didn't he still have to go back to court in CA for the stuff he did years ago?  

Feel bad for his kid. 

I had junkies tell me they like living like a junkie, zero responsibilities they do and live as they please without that life pressure, i said OK. Some fuckers like that life.

You would think going to prison would set you straight and you would avoid actions that could send you back to prison.

Not sure how you guys define a" KID"...he is turning 34 next..

Why? He chose that life, feel bad for his parents and family that have to deal with his shit.

At best, whilst he is in prison he can't screw good meaning folk over and he can't assault any woman. He made his choices and why are you defending him? Honest question with no prejudice to you.

He's saying he feels bad for Nico's kid, Nico has a child.

Can y’all put your fucking readers on? I said I feel bad for his kid that has had to grow up with basically an absent father.

I don’t pity people who go down the same roads as Nico. I’ve been a passenger down a similar road of Nico’s with my own brother. I’ll never forget waking up to a phone call of my mother in tears barely able to get out the words to tell me that she’s next to my brother in the hospital and they don’t know if he’s going to be able to wake up from all the shit he had taken the night before. It’s a habitual problem, he’s been to jail, homeless, living in shacks, has barely kept it together since having his kid to maintain custody but one of my biggest fears every morning I wake up is getting another one of those phone calls. All these people who keep giving Nico magic carpet rides back into the SoCal moto scene will only enable his behavior. My parents are finally learning that years and years of paying my brothers bills don’t do anything for him. 

Ok, my bad, I'm so sorry for that.

After watching that fluff piece interview Swap Moto did with him a little while back, it seemed pretty obvious that this guy wouldn’t remain on the right track. The dude took zero responsibility for his own mistakes. Really hope he gets his life together, especially if he has a kid. 

              It would appear to me that Mr.Izzy is a complete and total Fuck up. The other side of the coin is that I also feel like he wants to do better, but he just cannot find his way there. This is an absolute crisis in his life, and my Best Wishes and prayers are sent to him.

I'm pretty sure he was still using at the time that fluff piece was recorded; no way to be certain w/o testing, but he had all the telltale signs (very twitchy, with lots of tics that users have when they're trying to crawl out of their own skin).  I feel for him and all of the victims in his wake...addiction is a nightmare for everyone involved.  It is extremely rare to see addicts fully change, but I've seen it up close and personal with a family member, and it is possible.  Some consequences last a lifetime....

“Rock Bottom” sometimes changes lives. When there is nobody coming to your rescue…a lot of times, you end up looking to something/someone greater than yourself to effect a REAL transformation.

My parents loved me…but they almost & quite literally “loved me to death”.

It could be old charges. At the time he got out of jail in MI and was extradited to face charges in CA he also had active warrants in  AR, GA and WI.

Your last line would basically be the introduction line to my brothers book. What I find really interesting is he always had personality traits similar to an addict, compulsive lying, failure to take responsibility, etc. My mom babied him more than me or my oldest brother growing up, and it drove a heavy wedge in between my mom and dad because my dad wanted to handle him the same way he did with myself and my oldest brother. My parents always made us commit to shit, in middle school I wanted to play in a super competitive local basketball league, and after getting waxed the first two games I wanted to leave and never see that court again but my parents made me stick the whole damn thing out. My mom let my addict brother drop out of high school for no apparent reason a month and a half before he was supposed to graduate with the promises he’d pursue a GED once he got this job at a mechanics shop he was after. 
 

Well, he never got his GED, never attempted to, and only lasted about two months at the shop. Best kicker of all was when his bi-weekly bill from the tool truck showed up, thought since he left the shit there the Matco guy would just take them back. 

I didn't know that was defending him? All I said was you would think he would act right after going to prison. That's not defending him
