BuffaloBill Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 The guy lived a very complex life. Too bad he spread his pain to others. 3
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) So he was gay and depressed. Doesn’t make me feel bad for him. He was a murderer and a piece of garbage. Edited October 15, 2018 by joesixpack 1

The word “excuse” has come up a lot. There is a never an excuse for murder, but there may be an explanation which helps to explain the tragedy, for EVERYBODY. Nobody would condone his actions, and he deserves the punishment he got, but I won’t presume to play the ultimate Judge on this. This is just sad in every possible way.

Life is a complicated and sometimes ugly thing. Childhood sexual abuse can literally have major effects on how someone’s brain forms. It doesn’t excuse murder by any means but it could certainly fill in the confusion many had to the “why?” an nfl player with the world at his fingertips ran off the rails. Damage to the developing brain, plus terrible social structures creates an easy path into self medication... pair it all up with heavy doses of enabling and suddenly a 6’6 beast with poor brain regulation and a drug habit is surrounded with people chirping bad ideas in his ear and no accountability... anywhere along the way he could’ve stepped out of the cycle and he has to own his outcomes.... but things like finding out about abuse as a child certainly helps fill in some of the gaps of how thestory came together feel bad for the child, hold the man accountable and support the many victims left in his wake to help avoid future rounds of similar stories starting to be written Edited October 16, 2018 by NoSaint 1 1
4merper4mer Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 He needed to be removed from society for his actions. We can leave his ultimate judgement to the big man. 1

I mean that rhetorically; that's actually exactly how I feel. A. Yes, one can B. Yes, one can C. However, usually when someone gives another a pass, or makes excuses for someone they aren’t guilty of murder or other terrible things. It’s not like he was dead broke and needed money and robbed a liquor store or stole a car or something. He murdered someone execution style and hid his crime. All while being a millionaire who had everything that anyone could want. He ruined multiple peoples lives including his own. Im happy he’s dead. I hope he suffered when he went. Too bad he didn’t do it sooner.

apuszczalowski Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Sorry, dont feel bad at all. It sticks for him what he had to go through as a child, but we all have to make a choice to either sink to that level or use it to build yourself up from. He had the chance because of his abilities to play in the NFL and be set financially for life. He could have used his experiences to help others by using his position in the NFL to make others aware of abuse and that you can over come it. Instead be sunk to the criminal level and decided he would be a scum bag criminal and try to be some tough guy kingpin/drug lord. He didnt need the money, his NFL career gave him the chance to have millions legally. By doing the things he did he wiped out any kind of sympathy that anyone should have for someone who had gone through what he did as a child.
