Safest place for him to go in Kansas City.

Maybe just to say goodbye

I hope people know that the innocent girl, her family and 2 month old baby are the REAL victims. As for Javon Belcher, the man committed a murder and killed himself and there should be no tribute, only prayer. Prayers for all. Far too often the person committing the crime gets more attention than the victim, sadly. There are no excuses for his actions. Period. The only positive you can get out of this is if anyone knows anyone with anger issues or has had a past, reach out and help. You may be able to prevent something like this. Right now, the family of the girl needs support more than ever before. I think we should raise some cash for them.

The mother of the girl he shot was home, so he couldn't stay there. He probably hadn't yet crossed the bridge from killing her to deciding to kill himself yet. He had to go somewhere. Why not the complex?

what concerts were in the area last night that she could have been at that got him so fired up?

Trey Songz

On a positive note, I'm happy to report the folks on the Orange Mane are acting with a lot of class. Handing out week-long bans for some. Like!

well according to the KC Star it was Javon's mother, not the girl's mother. She was visiting.

I think everyone is confused about this, myself included.

This. I'm sure once reality set in about what he had done.....he knew that he wasnt going to stay alive. He was going to jail and his career was over. He probably went to say goodbye to the people he knew best.

KCMO PD: Belcher was talking to Crennel & Pioli when he saw two officers walk up. He turned and walked 30 feet, then shot himself.

Kudos to Crennel and Pioli if they literally walked out and confronted a guy with a gun.

They didn't have to do that.

You wonder if they prevented more loss.

No, I don't wonder at all.

If Belcher wanted to shoot anyone else, he would have.

He CLEARLY, CLEARLY, CLEARLY didn't go there to shoot anybody else.

"Snapp said Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and an unidentified person went out to talk to Belcher. Snapp said Belcher thanked Pioli and Crennel for the opportunity to play for the Chiefs' organization, then walked 30 or 40 feet away and fired one shot to his head as the three men looked on."

Cops: Jovan Belcher, Kansas City Chiefs player from Long Island, kills girlfriend, self


sounds to me like Belcher had already made up his mind to kill himself before he even got to Arrowhead. he certainly could not have expected to talk with Romeo and Pioli once he got there. i have to wonder if they would have even tried to talk with him if they knew at the time that Belcher had just killed his girlfriend. regardless, Belcher was suicidal and if had a problem with either Romeo or Pioli, or anyone else at Arrowhead, he could have made some attempt to settle those scores right before he killed himself, so that likely had nothing at all to do with it. i think Belcher must have realized while talking to them, that all of this was going to come down on the Chiefs, and that probably helped push him even farther over the edge than he already was.

i feel very sorry for JB and his family, both actual relations and amongst the Chiefs. i can't imagine where his mind was at during all this, but i think it's safe to say that for whatever reason, he had lost it.

It's a pretty ballsy thing to do.
