From the article
(http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9031198/) and comments on the front page, the attempted robbery is a sad story that is not going to end well.

I was struck by the following lines:

"Police said two men forced their way into an apartment, assaulted two people who were inside and attempted to rob them. The occupants fought off the men, who fled before completing the robbery."

I don't personally know anyone who could have effectively fought off two recent college players who brandished deadly weapons. If I were guessing, I'd assume he knew the people, that at least one was an athlete, and that the situation is more complicated than it would appear.

A quick google search included the fact that one of the two people was a woman, that a guy was pistol whipped, and that they did know each other.

While he may be a total mess, I don't think that's his overall reputation; it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. For his sake, I hope he has a good attorney.
