Browns running back Dion Lewis had to pull a "tweet and delete" after a post bashing Aaron Hernandez's friends for tattling on him. Lewis tweeted: "Aaron Hernandez homie snitched on him lol. #urrealfriends" Court documents revealed Hernandez allegedly told a friend, Ernest Wallace, that he shot Odin Lloyd. Wallace then told Carlos Ortiz, who has been charged only with carrying an unlicensed firearm, and Ortiz relayed this information to police. That "snitching" apparently didn't sit well with Lewis. He quickly deleted the tweet after fan backlash and later responded to several users trying to defend himself. “@jallen078: @DionLewis28 probably the #unrealfriends part.â€he went to kill Sumone that he didn't trust. With people he did trust is all" Source: CBS Sports
Minor trade this offseason for Emmanuel Acho, who was injured last year. He didn't say anything really offensive or untrue, just not a smart comment with no real value that he should've had more sense than to say.
eh, to a lot of people, calling the people who were trying to do the right thing by identifying a murderer a deragatory term and hinting that wallace and ortiz were somehow lesser moral characters because they told the truth is fairly offensive. it's basically the opposite of what most normal people would have said in this situation. a normal person probably would have said, "I'm glad wallace and ortiz shared what they knew to help get an alleged murderer brought to justice. Hernandez may be a dangerous person and this may save someone else's life by getting him put away". Using the term 'snitch' and indicating that they they are not 'real' friends when someone's life was taken is not cool in many peoples' book.
I see your point and agree with it to a degree. But those people would be overlooking these guys acting to better themselves in all this rather than a selfless effort to do the right thing. I guess I'm posting without all the facts here though, is Lewis' criticism of a conspirator or someone completely insulated from any incidents of violence, someone who just knows something from the outside?
yep, we don't know the true motivation of wallace and ortiz coming forward. they could just be trying to save their own asses.
Isn't it funny that when you're in a group, everything is "we", but when trouble comes, it's all "me."?
are you insinuating that wallace and ortiz shouldn't have said anything because they were part of hernandez's 'group' and should have kept quiet ??
