Shooting at Arrowhead- Chiefs player commits suicide
No details yet. Just came across on the news.
edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm. An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning. Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25. "We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation." There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said. The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/86...-team-facility Last edited by MoreLemonPledge; 12-01-2012 at 10:32 AM.. |

In the end, that's what makes the legal discussion relevant. There's a circumstance where society, through the legal system, has decided that someone should be given a slight break for what he's done. Voluntary manslaughter is an acknowledgment of human frailty. Of the idea that people who will go on a message board and SWEAR they would never hurt a women...might, because history has shown that ordinary, rational, reasonable people have been known to do just that. I'd like to believe that Jovan Belcher was an ordinary, rational, reasonable person that snapped because the alternative is even worse. I guess that makes me a dumbass or something. Or maybe my screen name does. Shit, I can't keep these things straight.

This happens almost every day somewhere, and no one blames it on head trama. Just another crazy person or he snapped. No excuses.

When compared against the full population, Javon's mental status might jump right out as troubling. But when evaluated against group of similar people, the red flag might be hard to find. |

When something like this happens a rivalry between fans of different teams who play a"game" matters very little. It is a time to put silly things aside and be serious. Everyone simply feels terrible about senseless loss of life and the sorrow it brings~

He killed the mother of his infant child in front of his own mother, dude. I'd say that takes a bit of the old "cold blood." Look it up. The reason why cannot have been a good one, let alone justified. I don't care what set him off. Then he killed himself in front of his bosses without regard of how that might affect them Quote:

Good luck with your quest to find ANYTHING that could downplay the fact that he murdered a 22-year-old woman. Can you even invent a scenario where you can defend his character? I hear you are a lawyer, so should be able to bullshit pretty well. I hope you guys don't actually fool yourselves with some of the angles you take out there, though. Make no mistake: what he did TOTALLY sucks, and could hardly suck any less apart from a larger death count. Quote:
...yeah, the poor guy is dead, so now we should feel sympathy for him. Poor guy must have been sick or mentally ill...that comes next without a doubt. |
