Aaron Hernandez was a heavy drug user who surrounded himself with gangsters, according to Rolling Stone.
The upcoming issue of the magazine will feature an investigation into the former NFLer’s life that includes interviews with family members, high school teammates and NFL sources.
A teaser on the publication’s website offered details from the article:
• Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust, and had become so paranoid over the last year that he carried a gun wherever he went.
• He surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters, and cut himself off from his family and teammates.
• Hernandez had so infuriated his head coach, Bill Belichick, with missed practices and thug-life stunts, that he was one misstep from being cut.
• Both his parents, Dennis and Terri, had criminal records, as did much of his extended family.
• Terri allegedly cheated on Dennis before his death with a violent drug dealer named Jeffrey Cummings, then married Cummings after Dennis died and moved him into the house she shared with Aaron.
• In college his coach (then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer) may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents — an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.
Hernandez was indicted last week on first-degree murder for the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. He is also being investigated for links to a 2012 double-murder in Boston.
Well, the professional music critics at Rolling Stone have apparently admitted their error.
I have never and will never give a penny of my money or a moment of my life to enriching thugs and gang members by watching basketball or football. As far as baseball,how many Americans play professional baseball anymore? It’s mostly hispanics nowadays and most of them don’t even speak English.
The NFL won’t be around much longer anyways.
There’s a rap song called “My Mind’s Playing Tricks On Me” by a group called Geto Boys. It’s a nightmarish horror story set to music, all about how the toxic combination of wealth and drugs can push a person’s mind into dangerous insanity. I think Hernandez was probably living that song.
See? There you go.
In the 70’s I believe elephant tranquilizer was used as well as shermsticks which was cigs dipped in embalming fluid which has the same effects.
I bet he was smoking sherm
PCP, or phencyclidine, is a “dissociative” anesthetic that was developed in the 1950s as a surgical anesthetic. Its sedative and anesthetic effects are trance-like, and patients experience a feeling of being “out of body” and detached from their environment. Use of PCP in humans was discontinued in 1965, because it was found that patients often became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects.
99% of it is dreck. I can thumb through it in 60 seconds, and read everything that's even marginally worthwhile. I do thumb through it, however, for the same reason that my (conservative) father listens to NPR: "The better to know my enemies". :-)
I've seen and read one article recently, on Government screwups regarding college loans, that was unbiased and worth an in-depth read. Otherwise, it's an excellent mouthpiece for democrats.
elephant/horse tranqs.. and a weapon? ouch.
paranoid, hallucinatory, delusional, superstrong, way out there..
bad juju
Mr. Ed used to use it, it’s why he could talk, some say. ;-}
methinks more than a few holyweed folk still do,, baldwin comes to mind, nasty stuff.
Angel dust=PCP
Well, that’s a problem that will take care of itself over time. Hope he doesn’t take anybody with him when he goes.
But then the question becomes: were the critics in error originally or is the current revision in error?
I honestly do not know how it has stayed around all these years.
