That's what's known as a happy ending right there.
Well he died doing what he loved, killing people.

Was not expecting this. Today. Saw your thread title. Was like, "No way!" Headed over to cnn.com. Son of a...
Well, I wanted him held accountable for the heinous acts he committed in his lifetime. Now he shall be. I still think that he got away with more than he should have. Hopefully, that will be corrected now in his current jurisdiction.

Few more deserving of death than him. I shed no tears. How tragic, more like Rae Carruth than LP I believe.
I wonder why I don't feel empathy for some people. I'm not a narcissist. Yesterday, I was reading a story about how an elderly man died in a house fire. I was wondering how he died. But when I hear that a family dog died I immediately went, "Awwww, man." Why didn't I feel that way for the man who lost his life?
As far as Aaron Hernandez goes I actually feel better knowing that he is dead. Why I don't feel he had any redeeming value I'm at a lost for words. As a Christian, you'd think I'd want to forgive him. Instead, I feel that he really didn't have to pay the real price for his actions, that he was not sorry for what he had done, he had done far more than he was even charged with and that he would have continued to be a threat to society if he was ever released. Something to pray about...

Interesting comments. It's something I go back and forth on as well. I think I used to feel more the way you do, and now, even with the guy who killed someone on FB live, I just feel bad for the situation. Clearly, these people are troubled, have made some really bad decisions, and have hurt a lot of people people in the process of doing things they have decided to do. I just know we live in a world filled with sin, and the things human beings do to one another generally makes me sad for the situation. I know ultimate justice will be served, and, as a Christian, I need to look at my own heart if I'm cheering the death of someone who has done evil things (I'm not saying that's what you are doing and I'm not condemning anyone else for doing it. This is just what I've learned in my own faith walk). In my attempts to align my heart with God's, I try to see these through his perspective. The more I pray and seek the HS, the more I think that stuff like this breaks God's heart...for all parties. I think it breaks his heart seeing us as humans do things like this to one another and to ourselves. There will be ultimate justice, but I don't think he takes any joy in the dispatching of a life, ever. And so I find it harder and harder to take relief, joy, celebration in someone who, by human judgement, clearly deserved death met death and, I instead find myself feeling sad for the lost souls.
Again, not trying to force my opinion on anyone else, and I'm not looking for an argument with those who think God doesn't exist, etc. I just always find it hard to feel better when anyone, deserving or not, dies. I feel bad for the people whose lives he took, and I feel bad for where his life went. I have never talked to someone who failed a suicide attempt before, but I have to believe that you have to be in a pretty horrible place to do it, and I just feel sad for them and the pain and suffering they endured (whether by bringing it on themselves or not) to get to the point where they have no hope. Life without hope has to be a horrible thing.
I agree. It's sad for his soul. I'm just human and have feelings that often conflict with my values. I try to find the good in all people. It would have helped had Hernandez asked forgiveness and apologized.

It also shows that he had absolutely no empathy for the person whose life he was taking. To become so self-centered that you have no regard for human life, and are able to take that life...well, there's a very dark, lonely place reserved for those type of people.
I'm hopeful he sought God's forgiveness while in prison, because I hate the idea of anyone spending eternity in the aforementioned place. Even a person like this.
People who fail a suicide attempt just want attention anyways, so I wouldn't worry about learning from their insights. This ain't Fight Club.
