that's not cool, Bro. mental health issues a real thing in this world.

What people don't consider is that many mental health issues are brought on by continued years of hard drug and alcohol abuse combined with poor street life diet. Who's fault is that? That's you're own fault in that case, that's not hereditary and a disease..

I have a feeling that's the culprit with Dante.

Most homeless I see here on the streets of LA that are talking to themselves again is bought on by years of extended alcohol and drug abuse.. The mind can only take so much then begins to crack. Start hearing voices.

he's doing what a caring former coach/mentor would do. don't forget that delonte was a key cog on that st. joe's team in 04 or 05 that made the Elite 8.

So was he talking incoherent before or after getting stomped on the head multiple times by that lowlife?

not sure if that was a rhetorical question but it was afterwards, for anyone who cares to know. the cops showed up and were asking him questions.

Update:


11:11 AM PT -- The Prince George's County Police Dept. is releasing new information about the Delonte West street fight ... saying a witness told police Delonte initiated the Jan. 20 fight by hitting the other man with a glass bottle.
"[The witness] told officers that she observed the handcuffed male [West] first hit the other with a glass bottle and that man responded by striking the one who had thrown the bottle several times," cops say.
Cops say the incident took place around 9:45 AM -- and note that both West and the other man knew each other and had been involved in a dispute earlier that morning.
One of the men was bleeding from the face when cops arrived. However, both men refused medical assistance and refused to press charges against the other, cops say.
As for the release of the video, cops say they have launched an internal investigation to find out how some of the footage (shot by an officer) was leaked to social media.

Best thing that can happen for West IMO is to be locked up for a year or two and get forced to go sober. Get medical attention in jail if need be. Then he should be put on probation after and put in work programs, half way houses and continue on in rehab sobriety once out and after that if necessary..

I've seen people down and out rebound in life after that!!! No one wants to be locked up in a cage around animals day after day never being able to date girls or see loved ones regularly or even see a sunset..

It makes ya wake up and appreciate after time served. I know you can still get high in jail on occasion but you're getting 3 squares a day, roof over your head, medical attention and proper sleep at night in time.. That alone will bring back your mental capacities and faculties in most cases..

Lock em up!!! You never REALLY can appreciate your freedom in life until you're put in a cage and it's taken away..

Wow. Deep. Never been in the joint and I have no desire to go. Totally makes sense that it could and would help him.
