I don't think anybody feels for Aaron himself. Just how the whole tragedy unfolded and how we got front row seats to the entire thing.
The fact of the matter is tragedy is happening all over the world at any given moment, but athletes/celebrities live their lives in public,both good and bad.

It's a sad fucking story. So much misery all around.
How many are skipping?
You can still feel sad for him.
He not only wasted his life but the lives of several other people.
Too often in the US of A we are just focused on vengeance.
I am ok with showing compassing even to someone like Hernandez. Thats something we need a lot more of. Including myself (though damn its hard to show compassion towards Trumps and Pats, at least for me).
Well, we know who's going.
Damn

I don't know, with that logic we should be feel bad for all killers.
I think he got what he deserved in a life sentence and offing himself like that was just an easy way out. Guys who live a life of crime and killing should get no sympathy from anyone. Imagine if he had murdered someone in your family, would you still feel compassion? Not trying to attack your beliefs or anything I'm just genuinely surprised at how many people seem to feel bad for him.
If Trump died tomorrow of a heart attack, would you be sad?
I don't feel bad for him personally. I agree with what you said. He murdered someone and got a life sentence as he should have.
But compassion is not a bad thing. We are very not compassionate in general. This guy was not born a killer. At some point the people in his life and the system failed him.
I am sad that we don't focus on issues like this and try to prevent future murders from happening. Instead we just invest more in police and prisons and the military.
But I am bleeding heart liberal so what do I know.
Remember when Susan died on Seinfeld?

I am really surprised he killed himself after being found not guilty. People were making it sound like he actually had a sliver of Hope of getting out one day now, plus like someone else mentioned his daughter come to court for the first time and for the sound of it it was a very emotional moment for him.
Pence being president is just as scary.
Less threat of thermonuclear holocaust, more threat of, you know, congress working together with him to turn the country into an even bigger shithole of fear and intolerance. Bills would just land on the desk and be signed right away, wouldn't need executive orders.

Wasn't he serving a life sentence anyway?
Sign this man to a lifetime contract!
Nothing you said is wrong.
But on the whole I would rather go back to the days of dog whistles instead of just straight up KKK.
I do
I dunno, Pence would be more effective, but I really don't think many bills will get passed. The HFC knows that they can basically stonewall anything and there's nothing the rest of the GOP can do about it. Trump isn't the reason the AHCA didn't pass, it didn't even make it out of the House.
You think your state is garbage?

He was good at catching a football for their team. That means you should have sympathy for him despite him ending 4+ lives and leaving his 4-year-old daughter fatherless.
The 1st conviction is gone?

Tom Brady is not going to the White House. He is a little bitch that doesn't want his image tained by Trump
Yes. Because he died before the conclusion of his appeal, the original conviction will vacate.

Tom Brady is not going citing "personal family matters". He did the same thing when Obama was in office, at the time it was related to his mother's illness.
Seems odd. I don't think a charge can be removed until it's official no? It didn't go through the full appeal process.
Where is Felony Trial Lawyer Gaf?

Why in the world did he kill himself without finishing the appeal? Did he get bad inside news about it?

Didn't expect to wake up to that news
I've been listening all morning to talk about this. They just had a dean from Massachusetts school of law.
Basically what happens now is once the charges (and gun) are likely vacated, it gives the family an opportunity to go after the money the Patriots owed Hernandez.
Ok so it's not official. But the appeal process will continue and THEN, the family can get the money.
Andre Johnson going to sign a one day contract with Houston today and retire a Texan! Lets remember Dre for all the good he did in this game:
I still have a print out of this in my office, next to his figurine.
