Yeah, I read some of that earlier and just... drat. I wasn't saying he didn't deserve it or anything. Basically just acted as a news aggregate for something I thought would have gotten discussed a bit. I probably should have included more information for others to use as a jumping-off point, though.

Yeah I'm interested to hear what in this story is not exactly like Kanter.

Are the kid and his parents embroiled in political turmoil? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/enes-kanter-says-he-was-left-off-turkey-s-national-team-for-his-politics-012559007.html

Oh I didn't even realize he got into games. I'm used to cyclones just playing summer leave and then heading back to Europe. drat shame either way.

Pels fans were pretty excited about him since it seemed he could be a solid backup.

I don't have anything to say about his death other than everything about it sucks and better decisions could have been made by everyone.

He thought he was kicking in his ex-girlfriend's door and the dude who lived there shot him. So I guess you can say that bad decisions were made by him but I don't know who else made a bad decision.

The resident claimed that there was no response when he asked who was there. Some media outlet reported video footage had proof that BDJ was shouting his girlfriend's name. I also have no idea what type of weapon was used or where he was shot.

I am not saying the person whose home was broken into was wrong for what he did.

The whole thing makes me upset and I am most mad at Jones because I thought (hoped) he had grown past that.

To be absolutely clear I hate guns and am not one of those 'protect your castle' people hollering about gun rights. I just saw a lot of people defending him online and I'm thinking uh, he's kicking down a door he thought was his ex-girlfriend's. Nothing good was going to come of that if he even found the right place.

Completely agreed.

God, I didn't realize she was only 64. Alzheimer's is terrifying.

It is. Saw my pawpaw go through it. My Mom visited him every morning to bathe and feed him while my aunt went in the afternoon to do much of the same. He kept thinking my mom was his mom and that my aunt was his wife (that he forgot was deceased). Iirc, one of his grandchildren was confused for his sister.

I hope the rest of the Summit family can finally get some piece of mind and remember the good times after their mourning from her passing.
