Aaron Hernandez Saga

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

What's a shame is there hasn't even been a trial and people are calling him guilty.

Well its not like he's helping himself out either with the destroyed cellphone/ video footage or that a cleaning crew cleaned his house after the murder. If Hernandez is innocent, he is suffering from the worst case of bad timing I've ever seen.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Yeah well, sad story, but it's the way people are. He could have nothing come of this but people will still refer to him as a murderer. Just like Ray Lewis.

Or Big Ben...

Sad for him? Why the hell should anyone be sad for him at this point? The guy put himself in a situation, and then has destroyed evidence and not cooperated w/ police from the reports.

Of course the public perception is going to be that he's guilty, most people that are innocent do anything they can to clear their name, not hire a cleaning service and refuse to cooperate.

Sorry, just the use of the term 'sad' in this instance irks me. Starving kids in Africa are sad. A rich spoiled athlete at the very least putting himself in a bad spot and at the very worse being an accomplice to murder is not sad at all.

I haven't seen anyone here call him guilty. I have seen people say that it doesn't look good. I'm assuming they are saying that because it doesn't look good.

I never said it was here that people were calling him guilty.

Correct

I don't believe I said that you did

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Even if people were calling him guilty---who cares? That's what he gets for having his reputation and having the friends that he does.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Not surprised people are calling him guilty. That's how society is programmed nowadays. Guilty until Proven Innocent and has been the case for a while now.

I'm not surprised, I just said it's a shame. Even if he's proven to have not killed anyone, it won't matter because everyone will just say he got away with it.

Even if he didn't kill anyone, destroying evidence is still pretty bad IMO as it shows he's covering up for someone else.

I don't necessarily think he's guilty but based on what we've heard so far I wouldn't be surprised if he is.

I have to agree with TheMatrix here. There is a saying, perception is reality. A lot of younger people who are thrust into fame and riches don't really understand this saying. Sure technically he's not been proven guilty of anything, he should be aware of his own personal brand. What I mean by brand is how people perceive you based on the person you are, and your actions (and at times inactions).

I think some younger people don't really understand this concept and when you add money and fame into the mix, it makes it even harder for some of them to grasp this. These young pro athletes need to realize that your personal brand has a direct effect on how the public perceives you and how the public perceives you has a direct tie to getting and keeping sponsors, etc.

It just makes me mad. "Here kid, you've got talent. Heres millions of dollars and all I ask you to do is show up for practice, play the game you love that you were playing for free, and I only require about six to eight months of your time and please keep your nose clean and be a professional. You can still have fun, but act like a man, not a boy.

Sounds like a really simple request in exchange for millions of dollars... yet some of them fail at it. Again, not saying hes guility but why even put yourself in that position to begin with???

Money doesn't make people smarter and it can't buy them a moral compass.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

So Hernandez has had ties to gangs, drugs, and apparently shot someone in February.

Now, Hernandez has had his phone and home surveillance footage destroyed, and also hired a cleaning crew to come clean up his house after an associate of his was murdered a mile from his house.

How can anyone really argue that he isn't guilty, connected to this, or knows something?

Every sign is pointing that way and there is evidence. Even if he wasn't the person that pulled the trigger, he was involved in some way or he wouldn't have went to such great lengths to try to hide things.

I thought it was just common sense based on the information that he is somehow involved. You don't have to be the trigger man to be involved in a crime.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

The odds of a guilty man going free are FAR GREATER than an innocent man being found guilty.
