Today is October 7th and a lot more information is now available. Perhaps an update to this blog article is warranted.

You’re not the only one that reads it that way. This is one of those words a reporter can use (perhaps subconsciously, perhaps not) to immediately shade the narrative. Richies have estates; crazies have compounds.

This level-headed kind of response to allegations of something like misconduct is just one of the many, many reasons we finally need a woman in the Oval - a woman like Warren, that is.

This is kind of what I expect a good leader to do. And I actually respect the fact that they haven’t publicly said what he did. I think that’s the professional and correct approach.

Interesting that they’re saying he “looks amazing” because they were REALLY playing up that “frail old man” thing during the trial. 

Do we even know who real Lana Del Rey is?

Anyone associated with Live PD is trash.

It’s what makes me more suspicious of the story.

This seems like an interesting and relevant detail about the parents here....

If I’m reading it correctly, she claimed to be 8, the bone density test said she was 14, and the Barnett’s had it “corrected” to 22 so they could put her in an adult treatment program. So they’re being charged for abandoning a 14 year old.

Those parents sound like they’re full of shit when it comes to her likely age when they abandoned her, though.

The Jezebel summary is very misleading because it is all the parent’s side of the story and doesn’t mention the stuff at the end of the Daily Mail article that contradicts everything the woman says. An other earlier story also claims that medical doctors said she was either 8 or 11.

Okay I hate to give the Daily Mail.... any of my clicks.... but the more I read, the more this actually sounded to me like some very disturbed parents who couldn’t handle their adopted child and concocted a weirdly elaborate delusion. Am I the only one who read it that way?

At the end of the article, the police have countered the confession made by Barnett. I think she just didn’t like the child anymore and wanted to get rid of her.

There is more to it than this. Can we read the story in a real newspaper at least?! Oh look! It's also being covered in the Washington Post!

Isn’t this the same mom who tours around teaching people how to homeschool their children into being geniuses? 

Everyone who hasn’t needs to read the SI article on his behavior over the last few years. If this isn’t CTE then I don’t know what is.

He’s not even denying the accusations, just complaining that he’s being punished unfairly. Interesting.

He even just had to shut up until friggin monday...then he would have gotten the Signing Bonus. But he couldnt keep his mouth shut for 14 days. And that in a time he already has burned two Teams and had a lawsuit on his back..

I have to admit that it really only hit me how self-destructive those threatening texts were until after the Patriots released him. Not that I thought it was commendable or smart before that, but just how badly Brown did himself in there.
