Final Chapter


I  don't know what made Javon Belcher kill his longtime girlfriend Kassandra Perkins.  Whether we  think it was insurmountable or not. Based on his actions it wasn't to him. Killing yourself doesn't make you a coward. To the contrary it takes a lot of nerves. Most people don't have the nerve to give up millions of dollars. They think that's the answer to most of their problems. Let alone take their own lives. They just ride it out until the end .I have no proof  to back up my assumptions. But I  think this was a case of;"who in the hell left the gate open"? The endless belittling and nerve wrecking yapping has finally come to an unexpected end.

In spite of what most people think. All domestic abuse isn't physical.  The tongue is a powerful weapon. It allows a little woman  to bring a big man to his knees. No matter how big they are, they still have feelings. This isn't your run of the mill domestic violence. This wasn't a battered woman. Even though they were a couple. This was a form of an opponent to him. Yes he could have walked away, but he didn't. He chose to end the whole thing  If they were having so many problems, why didn't they just go their separate ways? Though they lived together and had a child.  They still weren't married.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during their final argument. I haven't heard anyone accuse him of being physical even on the day in question.  What could they have been arguing about all night long? Something about this whole thing doesn't sound right.  He entered college and the pros with little to no fanfare. He wasn't highly recruited by big colleges, and he entered the NFL as a free agent.  Some hard-headed young honey from Texas comes to town and locks him down. Then sticks him with a baby before he can get away. Whatever was between  them. He decided he couldn't live with it, and neither could she. This was the final chapter.

  1. Kansas City Chiefs LB Jovan Belcher seemed to have it all


    KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jovan Belcher walked off the field after his final practice, laughing and joking with Chiefs defensive tackle Shaun Smith about who would get into the game the most on Sunday afternoon.

    Never could anybody imagine it would be Belcher's last time on the field.

    "We was joking, having fun," Smith recalled quietly. "I'm going to miss him."

    Friends and family of Belcher and his slain girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, tried to come to grips Monday with the horrible events of the weekend. As they did, a portrait of the 25-year-old player began to emerge, that of a man devoted to his family, who cherished his daughter and loved football after making it to the NFL against long odds. Still, the question remained: What would drive him to gun down the mother of his baby girl and then take his own life?

    "I didn't see anything at all," said his close friend and fellow Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson.

    "Jovan is the definition of a teammate. He's going to give 100 percent every time," Johnson said. "He and I have grown really close since he's been on the team, and this is devastating."

    Investigators were still searching for a motive behind Saturday's shootings.

    Belcher shot the 22-year-old Perkins multiple times in a home not far from where he played, and then drove to Arrowhead Stadium, where he was confronted by head coach Romeo Crennel and GM Scott Pioli. The two of them said they never felt in danger, and that Belcher thanked them for all they'd done for him. As police arrived, Belcher slipped behind a car and put the gun to his head.

    Nobody from the Chiefs said that Belcher showed any signs of depression or other personal problems. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt spoke to team doctors and coaches and, according to him, they said Belcher had no history of concussions.

    Autopsy and toxicology reports may indicate whether drugs or alcohol was involved. Those results are expected in six to eight weeks.

    Belcher was never a star on the Chiefs though he played enough so that he was well known around town.

    He was an accomplished wrestler who played offense and defense at West Babylon (N.Y.) High School, and chose to attend the University of Maine.

    Only a small percentage of undrafted players make it in the NFL, but Belcher managed to beat the odds. He wound up playing in all 16 games as a rookie, even starting three times. He became a full-time starter in 2010.

    Belcher met Perkins through Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and his wife, Whitney, a cousin of the slain woman. Perkins was active in the Chiefs' women's organization, and the two of them recently had a baby girl.

    "I was so excited when he became a father," Dwayne Wilmot, who coached Belcher at Maine, told the AP in a phone interview, "because he would be a great father."

    Kansas City police said Belcher and Perkins had been arguing recently, and a friend of the couple, Brianne York, said the root of the argument was that Belcher "sometimes he would just be down in his man cave or whatever," and Perkins wanted to spend more time as a family.

    Jovan Belcher's body is being examined for new clues into the shocking set of slayings a year ago that saw him kill his girlfriend and then turn a gun on himself.

    Belcher's family requested his body be exhumed from a cemetery in Bay Shore, N.Y., an attorney told the Kansas City Star.

    Under question is whether Belcher had disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease believed linked to concussions.

    On Dec. 1, 2012, Belcher shot and killed Kasandra Perkins. He then drove to the Kansas City Chiefs' facilities at Arrowhead Stadium and killed himself in front of team personnel.

    The couple's infant daughter was left orphaned, and observers found himself clueless as to why Belcher, a linebacker, had committed the acts.

    The plan: Test Belcher's brain. Bennet Omalu is credited with discovering the brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It is a degenerative disease caused by repeated head injuries. It has been linked to depression, dementia, confusion, memory loss, aggression and even suicide in many former NFL players.

    "If his brain had been examined (when he died), we'd have a better understanding of why he did what he did," Omalu told the Star. "We would have a better understanding about concussions and playing football, and we would advance the understanding of the science of all of this."

    An autopsy found Belcher shot Perkins nine times and was intoxicated at the time.
