He shouldnt have been there in the first place with those thugs regardless of what he done. JJ didnt do anything in the gas station incident either but he still got in trouble. But anyway Nuke has had a very bad life I actually feel bad for him. However you would think that the rough life he has had that he would know the things not to do, and that he would try to make something good out of his life. IMHO he needs to go to Hargrave for a year or two and then try to go to a big college. I think that is the best choice for him. They would teach him disipline there and teach him how to act right. Ane I think it would give him a better chance to get him and his family out of The Muck.
