The problem with some bipolar people is that they self medicate (and that would make things worse) and there people who react VERY differently to being bipolar and not on medication....there was a football player a couple years ago, Barrett Robbins who is bipolar but experienced more depression than anything else then you come to Alonzo Spellman who according to wikipedia did this....Quote:

The first incident in which this behavior became public was in March of 1998, in which Spellman became enraged when a doctor was late for an appointment, pulling a telephone off of a wall and threatening suicide. Complicating matters, Spellman had access to alcohol and a firearm and by this time weighed in the neigborhood of 300 lbs (136 kg). Authorities were called in, and friend and former teammate Mike Singletary helped get Spellman to check into a hospital, but Spellman later wandered out of the hospital.
Spellman was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but refused to take medication, instead becoming increasingly reliant on drugs and alcohol. This led to even more erratic behavior and run-ins with the law. These problems, along with his refusal to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his injured shoulder, led to Spellman's release by the Bears.
Spellman started taking medication and his disorder did not cause any major problems during his time with the Cowboys and Lions. However, after his NFL career ended, Spellman stopped taking his medication and again ran into problems with the law. Most notably, he had a manic episode on July 23, 2002 in which he disrupted a flight from Cincinnati to Philadelphia. Spellman initially suggested that the flight was going to crash, then became verbally abusive to other passengers and threatened members of the flight crew. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing. Spellman was released, but then destroyed some property at his brother's home and was taken to a psychiatric hospital. He was later arrested on charges of terrorizing the 138 passengers on the plane. Although doctors confirmed that he had bipolar disorder, Spellman was determined to be legally sane and spent 18 months in federal prison.
In interviews with ESPN, Spellman has said he now knows how important it is to take the medication for his disorder. He had hoped to return to the NFL, but his age and history presented significant barriers to a comeback. He is now "100 percent into" mixed martial arts.
Schizophrenia would be another guess of mine...but it's very tricky to guess at what someone is afflicted with, without doing a true analysis of his symptoms.....to do that you have to ask a number of questions, what, when, where, how much....and based on the answers given even with a "crazy person" you get a better idea as to what is wrong....family history helps out a lot too as most mental disorders are genetic
Schizophrenia is bi polar disorder.
Well as an US Infantry man I shoot a wide variety of assault weapons regularly. I own two shotguns for hunting and one for home defense(mainly for the wife during deployments) as well as three rifles( .22 .32 .308) for hunting and collecting. That being said I don't own or have any desire to own a assault rifle or handgun. Many of my coworkers do though. In the end I believe we as a country and a world don't put enough onus on personal accountability. Blame the person for the horrible act not the intantimate object. We as a country can only start to fix our errors when we start holding people feet to the fire when they fuckup and not let them copout with some BS excuse. I guesss I'm just a redneck American but you can have my firearm when you pull it from my cold dead hand.
no that is a personality disorder. bi polar and a skitzo are two different things.Quote:

its not like his dad or uncle will come forward and be all like hey its my fault i used to molest the kid back in the day u feel me?
unless say his sister comes forward or someone else that knew exactly what went on in this kids child hood or whatever?
He could have been molested.....but he also could have been a molester as well.
He did seem confused, I think the molestation was not the biggest issue with him.....the mental disorders and dellusions were, because they affected other people obviously.
i dont know bro ill be completely honest here and say ........ I was sexually harassed by a WHITE MAN boss of mine and it fucked me up big time yo i almost murdered the guy man!Quote:
