Apparently the man who died was his girlfriend's sister's boyfriend.

because he's a 24 year old with a $40 million dollar contract. And has been given the prima donna treatment at least since high school. That has to skew someone's judgement. Personally, I had a hard time with decision making at that age in life, even without all the wretched excess and warped perspective. And my poor decisions were more pedestrian.cardsfansince82 wrote:I'll never understand how someone with a $40 million contract even gets tangentially involved in stuff like this.
I did some dumb stuff at that age for sure. I can sort of understand the partying and drunk driving, even the sexual assaults to some extent. Above the law/invincible and all that. But to shoot a guy in public outside a strip club or be directly involved in a murder is just mind boggling to me. No matter who you are, that's not something that just disappears or that you can buy your way out of. Is it that difficult to remove someone from your life without killing them? Or even if your warped thinking has led to the conclusion they do need to be killed, that's something you pay someone else for. Why even have a posse if you are going to do all the dirt yourself? I can't say for sure what I would do if I had that much money and fame, but I'd like to think I would avoid the 25 to life type stuff.Freed Roger wrote:because he's a 24 year old with a $40 million dollar contract.

I always had the opposite reaction. I figured if I'm a star and I can't get voluntary [expletive] then I should probably just jump off a building.cardsfansince82 wrote:Just saying I can see where someone in that position can have that thought process. Not that I condone it in any way.
Well I would personally agree with all of that, but someone like Kobe or Big Ben probably had so much thrown their way that you get to a point where you feel like you can just take it anyway if she resists. The idea that someone might not want to have sex with them doesn't even register, and they feel like as a star they won't be held accountable anyway.lukethedrifter wrote:I always had the opposite reaction.

Where it would seem to get complicated is when you care whether a chick is interested in you or being a star [expletive].
The investigator, and other law enforcement sources, confirmed that the security system - which included video surveillance - was smashed intentionally.
And a cell phone used by Hernandez was handed over to investigators "in pieces'' by his attorneys, the sources said.
Police also want to know why a team of house cleaners were hired on Monday to scrub Hernandez's mansion
