re: Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

To get this derailed thread back on topic, there was an insane amount of enabling going on in AH's life

Bristol, CT is a surprisingly shitty place, we think of ESPN and all but few that work there actually live in Bristol.

AH was reportedly a member of a street gang in HS, he was well on a path of destruction long before CTE took hold

his dad was a rage monster, his mom was a POS, his dad dies, his mom starts fricking the husband of her white trash cousin and AH starts hanging out at the cousin's house hanging out with all sorts of life lowlifes and degenerates

he goes to Florida, commits a gun crime, nothing happens but Urban tells him to leave school early. They implied that Urban was not going to have him back for his senior year

NE drafts him and he goes right back to ground zero of all of the shittiness of his life, but now he has status and money to use

He had self loathing issues, rage issues, abandonment, and was probably at least borderline personality disorder if not a full on sociopath

the Borland and Callaghan stuff was dumb, had nothing to do with AH and his situation. Seemed like they could have each had one on-camera spot to make their points and then move on. The kept coming back to them and it just seemed like filler. Borland really fricked over U of Wisconsin with some of the stuff he said

Finally the gay QB and his dad was very forced. The dad seemed like an actor reading from a group therapy script, didn't seem genuine at all. The son/QB came across as attention whorish and needy for some sort of validation.
