Jovan Belcher was one sick son of B****

So, these claims are false and don't mean a thing?

Belcher came into contact with campus police three times prior to the lockout, all between the weekend hours of 1 and 2 a.m.

During December of Belcher’s freshman year, a resident assistant in Androscoggin Hall called for assistance to a third-floor bathroom because Belcher “was ill and slow to respond to his questions,” according a report filed by officer James I. Batchelder, who described “no signs of drug or alcohol use.”

Four months later, Sgt. Scott Curtis responded to the same dormitory and found Belcher being treated by the university volunteer ambulance corps (UVAC) for a “possible severed thumb and lacerations to the wrist,” Curtis wrote.

“I was told that Belcher was upset over a girl and punched a window out,” the report continued. “There was a lot of blood outside of the west entrance and in the lobby.”

Males? No.

You missed the point. His oldest friends in New York had no idea that he was so into guns.

The bottom line is that the guy wasn't "right". He acted completely "normal" around his football teams, coaches and in school but outside of that element, it appears that he had anger issues, drug and alcohol issues and a violent streak.

And no, I don't think you just dismiss the fact that he punched through a window and may or may not have severed his thumb. All I can say about that is that I sincerely hope that if my daughters are ever involved with a young man that displays such anger, they turn and run the other way as fast as they can.
