Hey Everyone it seems the local Steamboat punk is back to his law breaking behavior.
Check out this report from above.
Karsen Timothy Johnson, 21, Parker - First-degree burglary, conspiracy, criminal mischief (SSPD)
Is this not the same kid that punched the Steamboat police officer at the SKI JAM event!!! Here is a link where he got probation http://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/20...
I remember when he was first written about in the comments section when he was arrested his family stuck up for him saying what a great kid he was. Didn't his grandmother even write comments saying how great this kid is??
I hope I don't have the wrong person but the full name and age certainly match each other.
I loooong time in jail may keep this punk away from the people of Steamboat.
grannyrett 4 years, 11 months ago
A long time in jail might help. but what do you want to bet they will plea bargan it down and he will maybe get a slap on the hand?
BoatMaster 4 years, 11 months ago
Here is another link from the original story. The Pilot deleted some beligerant comments from his friends.
Man arrested for assaulting officer by Melinda Dudley
I bet the police officer that got punched is not to happy about the kid being back out on the streets playing his old game.
Lets support the police and put this kid in Jail.
mountaingirl33 4 years, 11 months ago
What a suprise (not)!!!!!
I am not suprised that Karsen has gotten himself in to trouble again, that's what happens when you only get a "slap on the hand".
We need to face the reality that unless Karsen decides to change his own direction, this will not be the last time we see his name in the jail report.
I bet his family is very proud- I wonder if they are going to say what a wonderful kid he is this time?
Steamboatmom1 4 years, 11 months ago
His family probably does see a very good kid within him. I'm sure he does have some great qualities. But when you have a low self esteem of yourself you go out and do stupid things to try and make you look tough. I'm sure his parents will be backing him up again because of there love for him. Yet as parents we have to let our children fall hard in order to let them be able to dig themselves out and see the errors of there ways. No parent wants to say they have a bad child. We all only want the best for them. Hopefully through this he will see that it cost too much to get in trouble. And there are better and healthier ways to make you look good to others. Karsen it's up to you to change. No one can make you change. You have got to want to do it for yourself.
bartender 4 years, 11 months ago
Yeah, I'd like to believe that he may make a change. However looking back he made this "special section" before his big run-in in January. Back in October he made it for an MIP and false reporting. So this will likely be his third "chance" just in Steamboat. I know his parents love him, so why don't they move him back home. Obviously he's not cutting it on his own. Let him move back when he matures and can handle himself with out mom and dad.
thecondoguy1 4 years, 11 months ago
You bet, that is why we have law enforcement and prisons, to protect us from encorageable bums like this guy, put him in jail before he hurts or kills a innocent person. Enough of the mamby pamby therapy, throw him in the slammer, and keep him there. Coming from the single father who used to ground his kids for three months, only had to do that twice, my boy was a slow learner.............
mountaingirl33 4 years, 11 months ago
When I was Karsen's age I made some very poor choices and ended up in a good amount of trouble with the law- though I never hit a cop- my decisions allowed me to see the inside of a juvenile detention facility and then a county jail. I was raised by a police officer and had one as a grandfather as well; so even with a strict upbringing I still made bad choices. Yes my family loved me even though I had disappointed them and misused their trust. The fact remains that no matter what they tried to do to help me I was the one responsible for changing my behavior. I was the only one to face the consequences for my actions. My family had to show some tough love during this time and once I had grown up, I was able to see the error in my ways, and was able to understand what I had put my family through. I also was able to ask them to forgive me, and begin the process of rebuilding trust with them. It took some time but after I showed consistency in my ability to make good healthy decisions- they were able to see that I had made the change.
I only hope Karsen can pull himself up and change direction.
bartender 4 years, 11 months ago
Maybe Mountaingirl should go visit him in jail and try to have an influence. If that doesn't work I am still available for the job of teaching discipline and respect to the kid for a nominal fee from his parents. I have experience with inner-city youth, if I can do it for kids in the real ghetto's, I am sure it can work with kids in the . . . Steamboat ghetto's? River front trailer parks I mean.
seeuski 4 years, 11 months ago
This so called kid is now 21. So much for seeing the good kid potential in him, it is time he takes full responsibility for his crimes and he does his time. Just another case that proves leniency does not work.
StbtWatchmen 4 years, 11 months ago
I believe mom, condo, seezuki and mtgal are all on the right track. I can only imagine what kid of change "bartender" would make if it didn't hinge on the lines of bar room abusiveness! I've heard a lot about how people would change kids, but a lot of them don't know nuthin bout anything!! Have a kid of your own that's a hellion first, then come back and give me advice on how you made this person a saint! I know a guy who works for the school district who adopted two very difficult kids that put him threw hell! You should ask those kinds of people who know! I was lucky; my kids were mellow and not too dysfunctional!
MtnWarlock 4 years, 11 months ago
StbtWatchmen, You bring up a good point when you say; Have a kid of your own that's a hellion first, then come back and give me advice on how you made this person a saint! I know of this man to which you speak and he's a good Joe and fellow militant. I know he and his wife never harbored their trouble kids from the law however, stuck by them in every proceeding they had to endure. There is sainthood! Maybe some day this kid will see the light. Maybe the military could help, it did me!
Mtgirl, Nothing like the testimony of those who have lived it for your words are stronger than most who speak on the subject!
Bartender, I'm sure bartender, you have good intentions.
Stbtmom1' You hit a good and valid point as well! Life sure has its way with people at certain points of life. We just hope that the light can be seen and the coffee smelt, in hopes that the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be the light of redemption from ourselves and not a steaming locomotive! Have a good day!
nmypinon 4 years, 11 months ago
Maybe I am wrong but hasn't Aaron Buckman McLaughlin, 22, Oak Creek been arrested several times also. How long will it take before he is put away also. A month ago the cops were looking for him for making threatining remarks against a man in O.C. telling him he was going to have him killed. ( For being a witness to charges of him stealing a car from Yampa & wrecking it ) He alluded the S.O for a longtime. Lets hope they keep him off the streets for a long time.
bartender 4 years, 11 months ago
It's integrity that needs to be taught, and I know you don't teach that by beating it into someone (as good as that would feel, that tactic loses the lesson). You live it, mentor it, and nourish it in a persons life; the younger you start, the easier. But it can still happen at 21.
Do a search on this site on this one: "Ryan Dobbs". 12 bookings in the record on line since 2003, and he is only 23. Surely both of these guys, et. al. are on probation or in their care. My roommate who is on probation for a DUI, his first run in, feels probation is a joke, just pay your money and all they want is you to get off probation, not treatment or addressing the issues. They don't really care at all about anything but the money. Shouldn't these two examples have their probation revoked by now?
BoatMaster 4 years, 11 months ago
Jail is not the answer for a lot of first time offenders. Giving another chance through probation and hoping they can learn their lesson through their family or on their own is a option.
When the family clearly demonstrates that they are a enabler instead of a parent, and the arrested person demonstrates they can not rehbilitate on their own..... it is time for jail to protect the innocent people they are preying on.
Karsen Timothy Johnson needs a very long jail term to think about his actions.
thecondoguy1 4 years, 11 months ago
Life is complete with a little system of rewards and penalties, some parents are afraid, indifferent, and lazy about administering this system when people are in their formative years. Society is then forced to take action, it's often not pretty, no one loves you like your mama. Most of us took the easy way, obeyed the law, and taught our kids to do the same..........
Hadleyburg_Press 4 years, 11 months ago
MtWarlock hit on a good old fashioned suggestion. Give this micreant a chance to join the Marines if they would have him. If it is self-esteem he is lacking, then this would do the trick. Not to mention the concept of discipline that would become ingrained in him. He might even get the honor of serving in combat. That would teach him interdependence and reliance on others to the nth degree. It would certainly give him a chance to give back to society in a productive manner. I have zero pity or respect for this person at this point when you weigh him against men his own age or younger that are serving this country with honor and distinction, many of which are in harms way.
justathought 4 years, 11 months ago
Hadley, would you seriously want someone like this, who's only choice was jail or military, watching your back? He has no honor now, I fear for the men and women that would have to serve with him as he was tested in combat.
Hadleyburg_Press 4 years, 11 months ago
A 29 Palms or Parris Island DI could change that...
paddlefisher 4 years, 11 months ago
we have all made mistakes.this punk is continiously making them obviously he aint learning from them or the punishment send him to prison..karsen..learn to play drop the soap..hey bare back karsen..youre a mamas boy..now in prison you can be someones you know what..then see if you as tough as you wanna be..we all have made mistakes some learn from them some dont..i learned from my first mistake..karsen well son maybe something like disscribed will help you pull youre head out..good luck..i will pray for you
thecondoguy1 4 years, 11 months ago
Hadley, I don't believe he would pass marine muster with a criminal record of the sort he must have, but I agree 29 Palms would humble and benefit him..................

Two or more Class 1 minor non-traffic offenses
Two to Nine Class 2 minor non-traffic offenses
Two to five serious offenses
One felony

Matthew David Engle, 20, Steamboat Springs - Third-degree assault (SSPD)
How could the local public school admin have let this happen? They are supposed to be watching our children and letting them graduate.
What about that program that was headed up by a local lawyer....I think his last name was Angle. I thought the kids were suppose to learn about abiding by the law on law day. I guess law day was just another one of many wasted (pun intended) school days.
thecondoguy1 4 years, 11 months ago
Hadley, thank you for the link, I was going to argue he would never get into the Air Force, but I guess not. Oh well certainly a good place for young men to learn, just hope it is not a extra burden on fellow airmen. Certainly not going to bother the E-5 or above........

Do what you can. It goes a long way. We are still at war folks so lets not forget our brave soldiers.
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
At 21 this kid is considered an adult, still his actions show that he still thinks like a kid. The service is a great option if he can get a waiver, and should be something ordered by a judge as a condition of his release if at all possible. A good tough drill sargent would greatly improve this kids(?) attitude and outlook on life in general. No one wants to see a young life wasted, lets hope someone can get through to him before it's too late. And folks give the family a break, their response is one that comes out of love. No one wants to think of thier child as a bad apple. Thier response (especially from his grandmother) although maybe misguided, is natural. None of us know the families situation, maybe they just can't handle him, maybe as someone suggested previously he's a smooth talker. My hope is someone can turn him around before he gets sent to a place that will only harden him further. The service is a great option, Judge, I hope your reading!!!!!!!
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
As far as someone going into the service who's been in trouble not watching your back goes, I happen to know a few guys that served after brushes with the law. Turned out to be GOOD men and I'd trust them watching MY back anytime!! Adversity not only brings out the worst in people, sometimes it brings out the best! Remember the fallen and God Bless our men and women in the armed forces.
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
thier? Sorry,.........their! Spellcheck would be a great addition to the Pilot blog pages.
thecondoguy1 4 years, 11 months ago
colobob, great to read you, and I second the blessings going out to our brave soldiers making the sacrafices to protect us everyday from those evil bums, God bless each and everyone and their families...........
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
Thanks condo, I've enjoyed reading most here, yourself included. While no one here is ever in total agreement on the issues discussed in these threads, I think most, if not all, wish our men and women in the armed forces a safe & speedy return home. It's nice to be in agreement with everyone on something and I can't think of anything better than this as an example.
justathought 4 years, 11 months ago
colobob, the "few guys that served after brushes with the law" and turned out to be good soldiers, were they forced into the military as an alternative to jail? The ones that have brushes with the law and choose to enter the military on their own are showing signs of wanting to better themselves, anyone "given a chance" to choose between military or jail time are the ones that would scare me. Choosing not to get locked up doesn't instill responsibility or integrity and I doubt even a drill sgt could pound those traits into a habitual screw-up just trying to stay out of jail.
MtnWarlock 4 years, 11 months ago
justathought, I was a military training Ssgt. I have had a lot of teen screw ups under my command that turned out alright after their basics. The ones that were offered an alternative by the courts, found religion most of the time. Better than jail? Yes! Jail teaches them to be better criminals. Military service teaches team work, discipline and responsibility, not just for self but, for God and country! It gives them purpose for once in their lives! I've seen it first hand, it was my job. Some become natural born leaders and learn about talents they never knew existed! That makes them some of the "few and proud" our country has to offer! God bless em all! Oooh-Rah! Semper-Fi! Have a good day!
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
Thanks Warlock, Your reply was better than one I would have given myself. justa, Sometimes those without discipline and having low self esteem just need proper guidance in the right direction. For many the military is that source of guidance. More often than not these same troubled youths or young adults come away with a feeling of accomplishment and as such learn to respect themselves and in doing so learn to respect others. There is no comparison between jail and the service. The only thing that jail teaches these troubled young men is how to become hardcore. The service makes men of boys, jail makes boys of men. Jail is where you go when society has given up on you. I don't think this kid is there yet but if something isn't done soon he may not be far away from that point of no return. While not the cure all in every case I think this young man would make an ideal candidate for the military. I hope when he goes before the judge that the judge feels the same way.
paddlefisher 4 years, 11 months ago
bob your right that was a bad statement..i truely hope this kid turns things around thanks for the insight
colobob 4 years, 11 months ago
paddle, my remarks weren't directed specifically at you or anyone in particular, but more so at all of us, myself included. We all or at least most of us suffer from that occasional ailment called "foot in mouth disease." I recently sent an off color joke that referred to a certain presidential candidate to a friend in Illinois via email. At the time I didn't find it to be particularily offensive, just funny. In retrospect I was wrong. Needless to say it didn't have the intended effect. Insert foot in mouth. I promptly offered an apology. The only two points that I was trying to make were that one, the family of Mr. K will endure enough heartache without our prodding them further. Secondly, that it would be a shame to just give up on such a young life so quickly. My hope is that the family will urge whoever presides over this kids case or to ask the prosecutor to offer a successful hitchin the military as an alternative to jail time. It's a least worth a shot. One offers a chance the other offers little hope. Gramma if you're reading maybe it's worth suggesting. Just a thought, absolutely no offense intended.

outsiderlookingin 4 years, 11 months ago
Hence the problem with society today. Coming up as the son of a marine from Korea my brothers and i took our lumps and turned out pretty good as far as overall society is concerned. However try raising your kids the same way and child protecive services and the cops will be at your door. limitied disipline at home, less at school (How long will a strict disiplinarian Principle last in this town?) and yet the strict disipline in the military is the answer. Sumthin'funny goin on Luuuucy!!!

StbtWatchmen 4 years, 11 months ago
outsider, You bring up a good point! In today's parenting world, the government is way too willing to jump in and tell you how to raise your dysfunctional kid. Kids are trained at school to "rat out" their parents if they feel they are being abused. Further more, the schools set up a protocol that requires them to notify human services and report anything they deem suspicious! This puts the parent under the microscope of human services, the local law which can lead to exhaustive IFT (intensive family therapy) by the local mental health and temporary separation from their children. In the mean time, the parent must prove their innocence and comply with human service protocol or suffer permanent separation from their kids and the threat of jail, even if they are innocent! Most cases get discredited due to the fact that junior or missy were in fact mad at mom and dad for being strict and not giving in to his or her way! I grew up as a military brat. Our house was run on the respect and authority of a parent who took no crap, from nobody! Today's kids have no fear! We pamper them under the teachings of Dr Spock and Jungian theories on self worth and in turn we've raised two generations of "ME" children! Sparing the rod is not a bad thing but, today they say its abuse. However, spanking is not bad to a certain age, beating a kid is wrong! Somewhere between Jim Fay and natural consequences, we've managed to raise a generation that is hard to handle. Now, we are reaping what we've sowed and we have an older generation of parents who can't deal well with the new extreme style of parenting! To me, it comes down to structure, communication and "a lot" of understanding with patience. As I was reading one day, the military has had to change its training to accommodate these kids! The old days are gone! Its kind of scary knowing who will be on the care giving end of the older generation when the "me" kids take over but, I hope I've made enough friends by building a bridge to the younger generation and not a wall!
MtnWarlock 4 years, 11 months ago
There once was a guy who put the "D" in discipline in the RE-2 school district and his name was Bob Harris (coach). He was the last of the great institutions! Harlan Lear was the other. They had a style that will never be matched or mimicked ever again!
Watchmen,
For the record, basic military training has not changed too much however, the technical training aspects have. Happy Fathers Day! Have a good evening!
David Carrick 4 years, 11 months ago
StbtWatchmen,
You said "the schools set up a protocol that requires them to notify human services and report anything they deem suspicious"... Actually, whether or not schools "set up" such a protocol, it still is state law, and therefore it trumps what some local community standards--or lack thereof--would be.
