Foxboro cops: Pats' Chandler Jones sought medical help early Sunday

[Joker]

when I look back at my 40's...I don't see anything...not a thing...something went on though or I wouldn't still be here...

I'll let you know when I get there. Probably will die of old age first.

I will say that looking back at my forties I did stuff that seems youthful folly now. Point is that experience is a dear teacher, but the most effective one. It's less age than experience. Or as one of my flight instructors used to say, good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgement. CJ just got some experience...

I suspect I am fortunate because most all of my common sense has come without the benefit of experience.

Why is this thread still alive?

 

[Bobs My Uncle]

ah, so the old age memory loss explains that delusion of not doing crazy things at 25. I can sympathize, although in my own case it's also the more recent memories crowding them out. Is that also true for you?

I'll let you know ..... if I can remember.

Why wouldn't it be?

best is learning from the experience of others. then you can avoid their mistakes. frees you to find or invent new and more interesting ones for yourself.

I wonder if it was just by chance that he stopped at a police station. Curious that he did not call 911 if he had the presence of mind to seek help. Could have been worse, and I am glad he is ok.

Reports say his house is only a block from the police station. he might've thought it through well enough to decide he'd get quicker service walking to them than calling 911 and waiting for them to scramble and arrive. but that presumes clear thinking. more likely he was so close and used to knowing the station is there that his subconscious led him there. might've been too confused to dial but able to walk. lots of possibilities, seems the key is his house was very close.

Nonsense. You're as calm and levelheaded poster as there is here!

 

[rochrist]

Yeah, we'll be here all week.

Based on experience on suffering from depression. 5 years ago I was going through a divorce, struggling financially I attempted suicide by taking all my epilepsy and depression pills at once. Luckily my roommate came home and found me and called 911.

About year later I attempted it again but this time after taking the pills I had second thoughts and immediately when to give police station which I lived across the street from in West Roxbury. It was faster for me to go there than call 911. And the police after I came out of McLean after 3 weeks came over and told me it was the best thing I did and probably saved me from brain damage because they were able to work on me immediately. Because if I hadn't had second thoughts and went I wouldn't be typing right now. So he probably had some cognitive thoughts and was able to get there quicker than 911 would have.

Keep fighting the good fight, @Patsrock.

Hopefully, Chandler Jones is just going through some minor stuff right now and made a bad decision. We've all been there one way or another.

a. He did not possess it. He was not there, remember?
b. Door was open, remember? The police went there to secure the premises, how can they show it was not delivered after he left, without his knowledge?

those two points are sufficient that a prosecutor wouldn't waste time on it unless there is some really serious reason they should, which is lacking here. It's not like they need to charge him so they can get evidence to support a murder rap, like his gangsta teammate.

I know he wasn't there. It was on his property in his house though.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm pretty liberal and I loathe Mass. It's like all of the worst aspects of the Democratic party without any of the good stuff. It's the blue state equivalent of Republican Mississippi.

It's the wasteful spending and righteousness that pisses me off.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Well because it is not illegal to possess or use it. What exactly would they charge him with when no crime was committed.

I clearly don't understand the problem. Because Class D substances are controlled, the next question is how he got it.

It boggles my mind that synthetic weed is legal.

Then you haven't truly lived.

his brother made a bad decision too. i would have hoped he learned from that.

the problem is when you are that age you feel young and invincible. you play for the pats, you are a star, you just won a super bowl, so you feel as if life can't harm you.

Roll your eyes all you want, but it's the truth. The lessons learned from failure and mistakes instill a greater understanding in others and more profound sense of appreciation. Doing merely whats expected and rarely pushing boundaries deprives us of our greatest opportunities of personal growth and development.

That's not what the other poster said. He said that he learned without having to make some mistakes on his own. It's possible to learn to not act like an a-hole without actually acting like an a-hole. I'm rolling my eyes at your attempt to romanticize doing dumb **** and demeaning people who didn't.

They you're rolling your eyes about something other than what I actually posted.

I used to have the exact same perspective of "always" learning from the mistakes of others. In some instances, that is a wise course of actions with things that cause physical harm, the harming of others, addiction etc. That said, the application of such a conservative approach to the entire range of life deprives us of our greatest opportunities to exceed our perceived limitations and broaden our perspectives. In order to become our true selves, we must challenge conventional thought, learn and grow from our failures and soar through our triumphs. Anything less isn't truly living.



For future reference, it is safe for you to assume that when I reply to an important life subject, I have spent a significant amount of time considering it deeply from a variety of perspectives. Obviously I am wrong sometimes, but it certainly would never be in ways as dense as the inaccurate interpretation of my post.
