Watched 6 Nation a couple weeks ago, and as you stated players from teams committing head or neck penalties lose a player for the rest of the game. I was rooting for Wales who benefited greatly.

South Charlotte here. Rock Hill is kind of a suburb of Charlotte...but don’t say that in Rock Hill. LOL.

Seriously though...I can’t imagine being the parents that sent their two kids over to Grandma & Grandpa’s house for a spend-the-night. Just breaks my heart.

What a piece of thug garbage. The only slightly comforting thought is that they are all reunited and enjoying heaven.

South Charlotte is a suburb of Indian Land. LOL!

There was a sixth person who was seriously wounded. I fear it may have been a parent of the grandchildren, possibly the son or daughter-in-law of Dr. Lesslie's.

I would like something better than he was a PoS.
The suspect apparently had brain damage from playing football.
But were there prior incidents? Did he have quarrel with the Leslies?
Did the voices in his head target them?
A motive of some sort would be nice.

The Fox News article said he had concussions during his pro career.

Yeah but I doubt it caused him to do this.

Like most kids I suffered concussions as a child and I never had any desire to kill doctors and their families. Turn a couple of them upside down and shake until answers fell out, yes, but not kill them.

Murder suicides are generally people who are upset that there are happy normal people in the world. And they must be punished.

With any luck, the NFL would be DISBANDED over this. They’ve worn out their welcome with many (maybe most) Americans.

“There was a sixth person who was seriously wounded.”

“Jesus, help this person heal.”

“This makes me lean even more towards the hypothesis that brain damage affected his behavior to the point where he became homicidal.”

There must be a whole lot of them with concussions in Chicago!

Sorry I don’t buy the concussions excuse. They guy made nothing of his life after an unmemorable NFL careers.Troy Aikman has had 8 concussions (thats just in the NFL) and I have yet to see him open up on a Walmart with an AK-47.

I don’t either. But concussions and their consequences have become an issue in sports the last several years. I was just explaining how one contact sport is dealing with it.

Defensive back.

Lots of high-speed collisions with running backs, blocks by pulling guards and big tight ends...

Nor do I. There are maybe two factors going on here. As I stated in the post above yours, concussions have become an issue in all contact sports. Modifying rules, equipment, etc. to minimize concussions is probably a good thing.

Then there are the people doing the crimes you listed. How were they raised? What environment were they brought up in? Did getting special treatment because of their athletic skills contribute to their lack of impulse control and sense of responsibility? These problems may be much harder to deal with than the concussion issue. They can’t even be spoken of aloud, let alone be addressed.

Very interesting. I have some friends whose sons have played rugby.
