Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end who was serving a life sentence for murder without the possibility of parole, hanged himself in himself in his prison cell, Massachusetts Department of Corrections officials say.
Officers at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Mass., found Hernandez, 27, hanging from a bedsheet at about 3:05 a.m. Wednesday. They attempted lifesaving techniques and he was taken to UMass Memorial Health Alliance Hospital in Leominster, where he was pronounced dead.

Killed himself on the day the Patriots are visiting the Whitehouse. Nice touch.
It’s often been said that etiquette is simply the art of making others feel comfortable.

We should offer murderers rope in prison. And instructions too.
“He fought his way to the top to plunge to the bottom. Fast money, fast life.”
No. I think he was just an evil S.O.B.
Which one? Thanks.
Which book?

How do you make a noose out of a sheet? You start with a tight end.

Good point - good manners would be considered racist by the liberals in this country.
Cheatriot?
Sucks to know jack about football.

Interesting post. I’d assume that a lot of low income father-less families could be helped by this. Of course, it could be attacked as ‘acting white’.

LOL.
