The only thing that keeps you from thinking this was execution style cold blood is the pure ineptness of the entire thing. The only thing that makes sense is that this was meant as a scare thing not a kill thing and then something snapped and it turned into a kill thing. Even then, it's stupid to bring a loaded weapon anywhere if you aren't prepared to actually use it.
I mean, assuming all of these facts are true:
- Using a rental car, then exchanging it the same night? None of those guys knows how to steal a car? Nobody understands that the rental is just as easily tracked? Hell at least report the rental car stolen and don't return the fucking thing.
- Allowing Lloyd to be on his phone the entire time?
- Coming all the way back to North Attleboro? I mean, seriously, there are better places between Dorchester and North Attleboro to try and get away with something like this.
- Killing someone within a mile of his house?
- Keeping all the weapons when you know the police are have identified you as a person of interest?
- Doing anything at all near your house with its surveillance system?
- Keeping your cell phone?
What in the fuck with how dumb this is?
This is what happens when the propagation of gang culture makes idiots think they are gangsters. They wanna act hard, then they blow stuff out of proportion, and get into something out of their depth. This nonsense cost someone his life, and a family a loved one. It's beyond stupid. It's beyond asinine. That "acting hard" is completely unnecessary and incenses me to no end.
I feel like professional sports leagues and players associations need to deprogram athletes the way South Korea deprograms North Korean defectors. Forget a chat with Pacman at rookie camp. Players with issues like Hernandez had, as a condition of entering the league, should go through a month-long program, each offseason, during their first contract. These leagues and player associations need to take a hard look at what kind of life they are foisting onto nitwits.
