He was studying film in his office. He saw blue lights & went out on his balcony to see the commotion but he didn't know it was Josh. Not his fault.
Wish Josh had handled this situation differently. That said, also have to remember that Josh had anything BUT a stable upbringing. He has never had real parental guidance growing up, especially after his grandmother died at any early age. He slept in his car for a period of time. MSU brought him in & tried to give him a stable atmosphere & family. But 3 years isn't enough to undo the emotional damage he endured as a kid. It's obvious he has major trust issues & plays the blame game & victim a lot. I can understand to a certain degree why, but don't lick a gift horse in the mouth or bite the hand that fed ya. Burning bridges is never good. Wish he had waited before he acted out emotionally. They would've let him use the facilities if he would've just followed protocol & asked permission. I hate that he takes everything to heart & acts like a child. It's sad.
