Update: Aaron Hernandez Charged with Murder/ Cut by the Patriots

[Cary Kollins]

It's weird that race has not been brought up at all in the media?

Oh, nevermind, it didn't happen in the south.

 

 

One of the alleged accomplices is a black man, so there is that too.

[Carolina Husker]

If he is a psychopath, it will be interesting to see if any of his teammates ever saw any signs of that.

 

 

Current and former Patriots have stayed quiet about the Aaron Hernandez situation, but one ex-teammate finally spoke up this week.

Former Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light, in an interview with the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News, made a brief comment on Tuesday, one day before Hernandez was arrested and charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd.

“I never talk about other guys, but I will say I have never embraced — never believed in — anything Aaron Hernandez stood for,” Light said after a long pause when asked about his former teammate of two seasons.

According to the story, Light insinuated that Hernandez always had his own agenda — and it wasn’t a good one

Among the other mountains of evidence. Surveillance even has him pulling up at his home minutes after the shooting, gun in hand.

 

Wow.  Where did you see this.  Damning if true.

Kind of vague what Light said, but definitely interesting...

I think I read somewhere that Hernandez had an altercation with Welker, his rookie year.

Lets just all be thankful he didn't use the T word, or this whole thing would have been taken to a new level of horror.

It sounded as though, he wanted to call him the "T" word.

[Cary Kollins]

I've was watching the local news station in Boston after the arraignment yesterday and the anchor was throwing the T word around left and right. It has also appeared in numerous articles since yesterday.

I think in this case Thug is a gentle word to describe Hernandez.

So wait, maybe its not a racist slur then? Or are we saying now that the T word is racist but it can cross racial lines?

 

That is one dangerous mutated slang.

Three days to read this fugging thread. And the only thing I learned? That when united against a common enemy. Or in this case, common idiot, you guys can actually be civil to one another. Who knew?

Yeah, I don't get it. Thug refers to someones mentality and actions. Not ones race.

Yes. Thugs are all races. I use the term often.

Go read the 'gay player' thread and you'll forget all about that.

No they do not. Here is an article you might find interesting that discusses how law enforcement wants to pass a law requiring service providers to keep the data, but as of right now, they do not.

I have connections at the federal agencies and I am on a task force with access to electronic data. The NSA, CIA, FBI, DEA, and whatever other federal agency you want to name does not have access to stored text messages. Why? Because they aren't stored, that's why. Emails, IP addresses, phone records, cell tower information,gps coordinates, subscriber information, log in times, etc.... are all stored, therefore the government has access to that. Listen, it's common sense really, in order for them (or us) to get all that data, they would have to effectively digitally wiretap EVERY cellphone in the world. It takes an act of god to get a title 18 wiretap as it is. Do you know what this is?

 

It's covered under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Communications_Privacy_Act

 

In reguards to broken cell phones and retreiving data. There is a training that teaches officers how to hook up a cell phone that has been damaged and extract information off of the sim card. So, if law enforcement in Mass. obtained text messages, it was through the actual phone itself, and not some nefarious secret spy agency that logs every cell phone text message in the world. I'm done with this topic. If you keep believing it's possible that's up to you. Honestly, I have lied and told people, " Hey man, you might as well tell me the truth, because you know I can get those text messages anyways." It works because people think it is so, lol.

 

i have family that works for both at&t and verizon...despite what that article says and what you want to believe, all that information is kept a heck of a lot longer than what's being said in that article.

 

i guess you can say both at&t and verizon's legal departments can perform acts of God.

 

people want to be niave with what can and can't be done and can never fathom is and has been done.

 

the fact that law enforcement wants to make it a requirement to keep the information for a set period of time says it can and already is being done.
