My mom tried to help a woman with bipolar who went off her meds. She tried to grab the wheel of the car from my mom and nearly got them in an accident. She tried to claim my mom beat her. She claimed my mom had stolen from her. My mom finally had to give up and cut off all contact.
The lady in question was not a 300+ pound man who was paid to play a brutal sport. I can see where the combo of FB player, severe bipolar and no meds could lead to very bad things.
None of that excuses what Chad did; he needs to face real jail time in addition to treatment. But I can see where his illness may have made things go a lot worse than they might have otherwise.
Let’s also send out good thoughts to his girlfriend. She’s going to have both physical and emotional healing to do.
