Happy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 There's a reason why he turned out the way he did. Maybe not entirely his fault. Just sad. https://nypost.com/2018/10/14/aaron-hernandez-had-sexual-relationship-with-hs-quarterback/ "NFL-star-turned-killer Aaron Hernandez hid a longtime sexual relationship with his high-school quarterback, according to a new report that also said the troubled late footballer was physically and sexually abused as a youngster." "Hernandez, who committed suicide behind bars in 2017, after which rumors of homosexuality surfaced, “had a feminine way about him” that his father, Dennis Hernandez, abhorred, the paper said. The volatile dad was quick to discipline his son for not appearing masculine enough, according to Hernandez’s brother, Jonathan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 !@#$ him. sucks he was that mentally ill to kill himself, but he should have faced his consequences and got what he deserved instead of taking the easy way out. i'm sure he was mentally ill for numerous reasons: sane people don't kill people, sane people don't kill themselves, and obviously he was deeply troubled. but, !@#$ him and the ny post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It's sad what happened to him to make him the way he was. And I think he committed suicide because he knew he wasn't getting out of prison and so that his estate could keep the money from the Cheaters. Not sure if it worked but probably the sanest thing he'd done in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be crazy but I feel some compassion towards the kid living through physical and sexual abuse even if I don’t think that lets the adult off the hook for the murders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 #AaronHernandezToo ??? Doesn't matter if scumbags abuse You, don't pass the scumbaggery on. Break the cycle. Even know it's from Will Smith and look how "brilliant" and "well adjusted" [ /smh ] His progeny turned out to be, I think this still holds true and can be revisited: "...Disrespect you and treat you badLet God deal with the things they do'Cause hate in your heart will consume you tooAlways tell the truth, say your prayers..." 6 hours ago, mrags said: Anyone that feels bad for a convicted murderer has serious issues, should probably see someone.

Can't someone both (a) feel bad that horrible things were done to him and (b) believe that he is still responsible for his own actions? I mean that rhetorically; that's actually exactly how I feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, life experiences shape who you are, for better or worse. Hernandez was a weak individual who could not overcome an abusive childhood. As BB described the situation - tragic.

Statistically, being abused as a child isn't an excuse for criminal behavior as an adult so much as it's an explanation. It's one of the reasons I tend to be in favor of harsher punishments for convicted child abusers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
