Sad situation all around.

[Joe Bob]

More 02 for the rest of us....buh bye, wanker.

[stomachmonkey]

Not shedding any tears.

Tremendous talent that could have been leveraged for positive things instead of being a homicidal gang banger wanna be piece of ****.

[Don Ro]

I'd like to know about his childhood.

[seanratpel]

gotta agree -- absolutely no remorse whatsoever for this ass. As a matter of fact, its probably the smartest thing he's done in 3 years. In the end, the big man showed what he truly was...a coward.

[GH85Carrera]

He is a total POS that deserves nothing more than being forgotten.

Just like the even bigger POS that 22 years ago today changed Oklahoma City forever. The world can scrape them off of the bottom of our shoe like the turds they were.

[yazhound]

No guilt, just could not stand what he had ahead of him. Seeing his daughter might have influenced his mental state.

Somewhere in time he went from a normal kid to just a bad guy all around.

[BReif61]

Good riddance.

Had it all, and willingly threw it away. No sympathy here.

I don't GAFF about his childhood.

His father died when he was 16, reportedly making him "rebel against authority".
Which in NO way should excuse his actions in any way shape or form.
Too many damn excuses in this world. The only things that matter are actions and consequences.

I consider his suicide as another problem solved.

Unless it has wheels and an engine, I don't much follow sports. But every once and a while I would catch a news snippet regarding his troubles and trials on my smart phone news feed. I was shocked to learn how many homicides this guy was involved in!!! SHEEESH! What an all round waste, especially for the victims! Just seems like a violent-sociopath-thug! I can't say I feel bad that he took his life.

[Jeff Higgins]

What a sad tale all the way around. He murdered one of his friends, and two people whom he didn't even know. How does a young man ever get to be this way? I simply cannot believe that anyone is actually born like that, and is just going to grow up to be a murderer regardless of how he is raised. Something went terribly wrong with this young man's life. He had it all - everything that every young man ever dreams of. Yet, in spite of that, some deeply seated murderous instinct ruled the day. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad he finally did the right thing - but the whole situation is just so sad. So many broken lives...

Agreed. Many of us lost parents at an early age. I lost my dad when I was 18. Did I spin out and turn into some gang-banging thug? No. I dropped out of school and went to work to help my mom support my little sister and little brother. It was a long time before I was able to finish up my education and start my "real" career. It was the right thing to do, but I only knew that because my dad had taught me that before he died.

Hernandez was already getting into big trouble long before his dad died. He was likely given a pass because of his athletic ability from a pretty early age. We know he was in college, and at least as far back as high school. So here we had a violent gang-banger who excelled in football, so everyone looked the other way. Pretty darn sad how it all came to a head and so many lives were affected. All so a talented thug could keep playing ball.

[Noah930]

Good riddance. And all for a spilled drink.

Wasn't Tebow this guy's college roommate? If Tebow couldn't help set him straight, I'm not sure there was ever much hope for this guy.

Saddest part is his kid. Makes me wonder if the kid is better off with or without this sociopath as a parent.

Love Ness' guitar playing. May not be a tech genius but his playing is perfect if you know what I mean. They stay in steady rotation at home and in the car.
