If you feel the article the Daily Republic published about Justin Iburg's tragic and horrifying single-car accident inexcusably reiterated facts from the past that only further saddened the town and Justin's family please sign this petitionrequesting an apology for the embarrassment and heartache brought on by the irresponsible article. Please, don't embarrass yourself by arguing that the media was doing "its' job". Their job is to relay NEWS. An unrelated accident from four years ago isn't news; it's drama. Perhaps not just the Daily Republic owes Justin an apology; perhaps Mitchell owes Justin an apology for making him out to be a villain when he's been a true victim as well.
I read the article the paper published. I have no idea how the closing paragraph was related to the news story at hand.

I know his past is in public records but I do feel that this does not need to be brought up again and again. Just lives with the memories every day. He has to drive by the spot of the first accident almost everyday to get from town to the Farm. And I doesn't just make it hard on our family it makes it hard for Jon's Family and friends that miss him everyday also. I wish the writer would have thought of that also.

Besides bringing up the past accident, it irritated me that they had mention of doing a blood test for blood alcohol levels but didn't say why, like maybe this is protocol for accidents that late and where the driver doesn't remember what happened but no, that would actually reporting instead of just making accusations. The Daily hasn't reported news in years!

He is one of the best people I know and has lived with the guilt of that accident! This really just brings back all of the heartache that his family and Jon Christensen 's family went through! This was extremely uncalled for and the Daily Republic should be ashamed to call themselves a newspaper!!

This is a terribly slanted unfair article about a young man who has worked hard and more then paid the price for his previous actions. To mention it was underhanded, and clearly meant to inflame people.

This is complete ignorance performed by the Daily Republic. Any positive movement he has made towards bettering his mental strength has probably been torn down. The Daily Republic MUST bring an apology to the public eye for what they said about Justin. We don't want some half assed article either. We want a sincere apology!

An apology is deserved for everyone that was involved.
