all right let's talk about of kansas city chiefs linebacker giovanni belcher
it is now being revealed that after the weekend news that he
killed his girlfriend
and then killed himself in front of uh... teen coaches and staff
that belcher had been struggling with head injuries he had been struck her
it's struggling with alcohol and painkiller use
and he appears to have snapped as it's being discussed in the media and killed
his girlfriend
uh... they were their number of things being thrown around now immediately
there was not much known about what was the package that was there any back
story here and warning signs
now probably not surprisingly we're hearing about the alcohol and pain
killer is
but we're also talking about the head injury situation which initially the
teens said
that he was a player
who had not had along concussion history although they're now other indications
that he may not have had concussions per se but as we know with as we've talked
extensively on this program these persistent hits
which cause
not and and acute concussion but this long-term affect on the brain break andy
to it adds up
overtime minutes
is just as bad as a concussion year in there
cops revealed that belcher shot his girlfriend nine times before committing
suicide with a different gonzo multiple guns involved
his mother witness the slang she had been in town to help her daughter with
the new baby sources have said
and uh... this is just an incredibly disturbing story particularly disturbing
because all the reports are
that belcher was sitting there
having conversations with people at the team practice facility
banking people saying all sorts of stuff and then he just walked away
and and killed himself
you know he was thinking his head coach
end of the other
coaches that were there for everything that they've done for him
uh...
walking away and killing himself against the tried to
talked some sense into him
platoon leaders and doing a and then bob costas son and n_b_c_ he is being
accused by some of of taking this is an opportunity to go on a gun control grant
and i reviewed the video help play video in the audio for here
now acted did you just might immediate reaction
is exactly what i upon further research still believe about this
i don't think bob costas is going on a gun control grand here he just doesn't
is quoting an article that was written by someone else yes let's take a listen
to a bob costas said on national tv about this incident
actual perspective on this
a bit of it comes from the kansas city base writer jason weblog
with whom i do not always agree button today said it so well that we may as
well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article
our current gun culture without parole
insures that more and more domestic disputes well into the ultimate tragedy
and that more convenience store confrontations over loud music coming
from a car
will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead
handguns did not enhance our safety
big zestimate r flaws
tempt us to escalade arguments
and data since one bracing confrontation rather than avoiding it
so he went on about a little bit more from from that article but
to call this in bob costas ana gun control grant seems absurd he is saying
that he agrees with this abut i think it's a weird characterization and let's
be completely honest ladies and gentlemen
second-amendment arguments aside
and the minutiae of stand your ground aside
how can anyone denied
if job on belcher head owned less or no guns
it's unlikely
that this particular fight
would have led to the death of two people certainly he could have found a
way to kill himself if that if that's what he wanted and arguably he could
have strangled his girlfriend to death is a minimal times make everything
easier but guns do make it easier if it's a question of firing a shot in this
case he fired nine shots we don't know how many attempt to actually akhil is
crawford
about bach offices merely saying very very basic fundamental things here that
it that are just logical
yet anyway i
i'm fine with it and i agree with it
