Revelation Number 81: Aaron Hernandez is a Paranoid Junkie

Those still wondering why Patriot's star tight end Aaron Hernandez and his number 81 jersey were dropped by his NFL team the minute he was suspected of killing buddy Odin Lloyd, need not wonder anymore:

Well before his murder arrest, team heads had already given the out-of-control pro footballer a final warning that he'd be fired soon or traded if he didn't clean up his act.

The many infractions which had the Patriots so disgusted that they were willing to part with an almost unbeatable player worth a 40-million-dollar contract not only involved his failure to show up for practices, but the down and out, bottom-feeding thugs he constantly insisted on associating with.

Thugs who all but spoon fed Aaron Hernandez the type of drug long known to lead to episodic violence in habitual users and intense bouts of psychosis: Angel Dust.

Former friends who the now-jailed athlete alienated during his years' long binge with Dust revealed to Rolling Stone Magazine this week that they weren't surprised by Hernandez's ugly downfall because, "He’s been twisted on Dust now for more than a year, which is when all of this crazy shit started."

"Aaron's out of his mind."

Revelations like those might otherwise seem incredible, but they're more than supported by the Patriot's own tally of their once-celebrated tight end's nonstop offending, and in fact strongly hinted at even before they signed him on.

It's not clear if Angel Dust is a substance pro sports teams test for, but it first made its violent debut in the 1970s and is reportedly on the resurgence this decade. Particularly in Bristol Connecticut where Hernandez and most of his lowlife gangster pals hail from or hide out. 

Dust is infamous for causing extremely paranoid thinking in addicts as well as Sudden Rage Syndrome, two elements which played a prominent role in the bizarre and shockingly stupid murder of Hernandez's close friend Odin Lloyd in June this year.

Dumber still, was leaving Lloyd's bullet-riddled body and cellphone in an industrial park situated less than a mile from the 23-year-old ex-Patriot's mansion; both drug-induced blunders serving to lead investigators on a veritable breadcrumb-trail to psychokiller Hernandez and his cohorts.

In recent years, the Dust-addled athlete is believed to have orchestrated more than a half-dozen similar episodes in which, through mounting paranoia and rage, he targeted his friends and others he quarreled with for death. 

And, indeed, many of those spontaneous shootings did result in murder.

CSI SUNDAY: Trayvon Martin, Odin Lloyd, Skylar Neese

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THEIRS WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?

 

Killing Killers' CSI Sunday series spotlights three not-so-friendly friends making the top crime stories for the week ending June 30th, 2013.

 

 

Apart from being brutally murdered, Trayvon Martin, Odin Lloyd and Skylar Neese have something else in common, and perhaps in their horrific deaths is a lesson we all could learn from. Albeit a hard one...

 

In retrospect, say the parents of Neese, a pretty 16-year-old who disappeared in July of 2012 only to be discovered some six months later slain by her two best friends, the warning signs were glaring:

 

First, there was the formation of a tight but toxic bond with the very girls who would plot and perpetrate her stabbing death, and who, in advance, had already severed the once-popular A-student from her other classmates.

 

Second, was the emergence of a double but brief life that included deception and deviousness and began with the seemingly harmless teenage ritual of sneaking out a bedroom window.

 

Third, troubles were developing which involved the threesome's numerous late-night joyrides and, invariably, the police.

 

But all Mr. and Mrs. Neese had wanted to do in showing their daughter Skylar such leniency was to give the growing child a sense of freedom, they said.

 

Freedom to come and go -- to be trusted -- is an essential rite of passage into maturity, but, as this now-grieving couple discovered much too late, in excess it can sometimes turn deadly.

 

At age 27, however, Odin Lloyd was an adult and therefore it's safe to assume well past growing pains and angst. So his being shot to death by sports-celebrity friend Aaron Hernandez would appear, on its face, rather unexpected.

 

Except when it becomes clear that Lloyd already knew that the pro-footballer he was so enamored with had longstanding gang ties and a predilection for extreme acts of violence.

 

Indeed, investigators now suspect that Lloyd's gangland-style execution may have been orchestrated by Hernandez and his notorious cronies, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, because the victim had knowledge of this trios' role in a previous drive-by shooting.

 

If that's true, then Lloyd didn't need deep insight or a crystal ball to gauge whether his relationship with this criminally bent crew could leave him seriously maimed or dead.

 

On the other hand, Trayvon Martin, gunned down by a rabid neighborhood watchman at the tender age of 17, fared much better at the hands of his friends.

 

At least in life anyway.

 

Now, as the trial against his killer George Zimmerman progresses, some critics are complaining that Martin's star witness and childhood confident is anything but an asset to him when she's sitting on the witness stand.

 

Some beg to differ though, saying the supposedly outlandish impudence of 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel and her mumbling patois which spectators find so incomprehensible and annoying is simply a "cultural thing."

 

That culture clash underscores the crux of the issue subtly being tried, still others are attempting to explain. Because, before justice for a butchered boy can be meted out here, the world evidently needs to know first: Who was the bigger racist, the victim or his "ass-cracking" attacker?

 

Of course, this banal debate, generated by Ms. Jeantel's sudden *eccentricity" when placed in a white-dominated judicial setting, also overshadows the obvious -- the young lady's courage and loyalty.

 

But each of the three cases featured this week on Killing Killers' CSI Sunday wrap-up definitely prove that the old adage about choosing your pals wisely still holds true today.

 

Friendship really matters. Whether you're alive or dead.
