Chronic traumatic encephalopathy
Degenerative brain disease caused by repeated blows to the head.

Past/present Brain trauma can cause a person to "snap". NFL player Phillip Adams' behavior provides a glimpse into the tremendous danger Americans put ourselves in, this past November.

There's no accounting for a coward who prefers to drive by their victims with automatic weapons instead of challenging their opponent to a duel like the good old days. Unless you are habitually dressed in SWAT gear it is hard to be prepared for the kind of psycho who shoots through the door before you can figure out who's knocking.

But way to make it about Biden.

Why? What is rest of the story?

Found the story. Sounds like Dr. may have treated him. He was a former player, so I bet CTE was probably involved.

That was my first thought as well. He may have thought the doctor was not providing enough treatment or the right treatment, or pretty much anything. Especially if the doctor told him he may not be thinking rationally. Sometimes patient's don't take that well.

It's tragic no matter how we look at it. So many lives lost or ruined.

What do the BLM reactions look like? I don't do Twitter or TikTok so if there's any response I won't see it.

While the article says he did have a concussion there are very likely other contributing factors, some football-related others perhaps not.



Adams was the first 49ers’ 2010 draft choice to sign his rookie deal. But he wouldn’t stay in San Francisco for long.

Adams bounced around from team to team between 2010 and 2015. He last played in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons in 2015. He also played for the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders and New York Jets.

He did suffer some injuries during his NFL, including a concussion during his first-ever start in 2012 and a gruesome broken ankle during his rookie season.

Dad's Take
Adams’ father, Alonzo, told WCNC-TV he thinks football might bear some of the blame.

"I can say he's a good kid," Alonzo Adams said. "I think the football messed him up."

Yeah, blame it on the porn and video games. Sports related injuries cause people to engage in violent homicides every day, isn't it obvious?

Of course that clearly hasn't stopped the racists on this site trying to make this a black vs. white issue.

nor has it stopped the gunophobes from blaming guns and making it a fascists vs Constitutional freedom issue...

Maybe it was CTE, maybe he was just an azz- hol. Maybe he was plumb crazy.

My mom had a concussion, but she never went over to the neighbors house and killed everyone there.

Guess that explains all the low IQ kneeling. Brain damage.

A single concussion isn't the issue. It is multiple ones over long periods of time. Many going undiagnosed. Think about how many times a pro footballer gets his bell ringed over the course of a single game bumping heads. Then you factor in things like steroids, toxic masculinity, other drugs, financial problems, narcissism... you have recipe for someone flipping out.

You win the internet today.

Damn, this is sad. I'm blasting this story all over the Net.

He couldn't let the grandkids live????

If the guy had a beef with the doctor...why kill the grandkids, wife...and the guy hired to cut the lawn?

Are we missing the elephant in the room?

Some MSN's are not even reporting this horrific murder, while other do report, but leave out the suspect.
I find that suspicious in it's self.

A quick google search at this point displayed an across the board number of reports on this issue including the name and profession of the supposed killer.

ABC, CNBC, CNN, Fox, USA Today, numerous local news outlets. I quit looking after that. I fail to find any substance to the supposition that this news item is being downplayed or even more, censored.

4 hours ago not everyone was reporting it... you failing to find any substance hours later is sort of like someone telling you it's dark outside at 2 AM and you decide to call them a liar because the sun was clearly coming up at 6 AM when you checked.

I said that because he had a single concussion listed in his stats.
Look at his stats. He wasn't exactly a workhorse player. He drafted in the 7th round, but broke his ankle in his rookie year and was released. The team released him shortly afterward and he bounced from team to team after that.

He was a DB and really didn't play a whole lot with 5 years and 7 starts, so it is hard to suggest he was getting hit a lot like other positions. I also wouldn't go to CTE as it does mess people up, but we don't see mass murderers as part of the side effects...

How about roids as maybe he was trying to make a comeback?

I don't do TikTok or Twitter either, and I didn't see anything on LSA, but you got me curious so I went looking... At least on Twitter, I see various Black oriented Twitterers posting it, but no one commenting. About the only ones editorializing are the one's complaining that it isn't being splashed on headlines across the country. Maybe I'm not doing it right, but I'm not seeing any hashtags trending for it either. Most just tagging interested parties, like #NFL and stuff.

So, you fail to see that every network you listed, except Fox, doesn’t show a pic of the shooter? (at least that I could find) You don’t think that’s a form of censorship? They’re trying to hide the fact that the shooter is black. You know they can’t have a POC painted in bad light. If the shooter was a white male his mug would be plastered all over the headlines, it’s not. Sure they may eventually show it if forced to but they’re doing their best to avoid it.

I just checked all of those outlets and they each have a picture of this guy.

Five people are murdered and you winners are all dog whistling at each other.

I looked a few mins ago and didn’t see any, they were all a pic of the Dr and the crime scene. At least the stories I clicked on. Fox News had it in the headline.

I do see one on CNN and CBS now but they weren’t there 30 mins ago.
