NoSaint Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) http://m.deadspin.com/5964841/report-kansas-city-chiefs-lb-javon-belcher-killed-his-girlfriend-drove-to-the-chiefs-practice-facility-and-killed-himself- Lots of fresh details including thanksgiving pics (sad). Deadspins collecting a lot of writers tweets, articles etc... and updating -One commenter claims in college he put his hand through a window and had major injuries because he was mad at a girl. That's obviously a sketchy source but.... Oh, I thought it might be something that foretold today's events. I just skimmed the first bit but I didn't catch anything like that.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Killed because she went to a concert? http://www.kansascity.com/2012/12/01/3943363/source-belcher-murder-suicide.html
marauderswr80 Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 I work in law enforcement. Reasons vary on why people do these crimes. All you theorists need to know is 2 familes will be deep in grief and their lives will be forever changed. Please say a prayer for the surving loved ones, friends and teammates. They will need it. Amen brother! Amen!
NoSaint Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Killed because she went to a concert? http://www.kansascity.com/2012/12/01/3943363/source-belcher-murder-suicide.html I'd say still obviously over simplified in explanation.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Crazy that both Crennal and Pioli saw him do it... One of the most disastrous seasons in the Chiefs history. This was a sinking, rudderless ship before this incident. It was pretty much determined that these men would be gone at season's end. What a sad slice of life. I'd say still obviously over simplified in explanation. Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back? Again, just speculation and I won't go farther than that for now.

Again, just speculation and I won't go farther than that for now. All it said was it was an early AM fight after a late night at a concert. Could be any number of things from there. Obviously for it to escalate like that though, there was a whole lot of gasoline before the match struck this morning. friends reporting they often fought so likely underlying issues between them, and I think it's safe to speculate he wasn't well equipped to deal with problems. From there, who the knows what happened in the hours before. With mom present for it, it's likely we get a pretty detailed run down soon.

bbb Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Nothing important apparently. GBID is a man of few words and many links.
