    Well, at least the recipient respected his wishes and didn't share it with social media. ::)

    How can you be sure it was recipient who released letter? Maybe it was one of guards who made copy.
    Wonder if all outgoing mail is reviewed.

    That would still make that person the recipient (if not the intended recipient), no?

    He's in jail so he couldn't have done this one, too, right?

    At what point is the media going to note that Hernandez is Hispanic and Lloyd was black? Race seems like a potential motive, and I frankly don't understand why the media feels the need to protect us from that fact. The people want to know.

    Has that been hinted at, at all, by the prosecution? Or are you just trolling?
    Prevailing theories seem to be that Lloyd knew about Hernandez's thuggery and was talking too much, or that Hernandez had some personal beef with him. Haven't seen race suggested as a motive at all.

    See this comes up when there's nothing else, like when someone cannot think of something clever to joke about so, guess what? Let's go to the race card. Pure laziness.

    Hernandez killed Lloyd because he was hispanic and Lloyd was black? Yeah that was it, ignore everything else. Stupid.

    You'd have to read the thread about the Australian baseball player murdered in Oklahoma to understand that Dick is trying to zing me.

    But, since these two were friends/acquaintances it's understandable to assume that a disagreement or issue that came up between the two led to the murder. There was no reason to wonder if race was a motive.

    Jeez, strawman much?

    Dick did not affirmatively say race was the motive, nor did he suggest that we should "ignore everthing else." Instead, he simply asked whether it was fair for the media to at least "note" their race and consider it as a "potential" motive.

    Quite a difference between those words and your mischaracterization.

    Maybe you should quit assuming things, dumbass.

    Zinging you for making assumptions about me on another thread.

    You have a short memory today. I assume you've been drinking since noon.
