Brandon Spikes Not Happy With All the Aaron Hernandez Haters on Twitter

Wednesday morning some news broke that people have been expecting for some time. Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found guilty of first degree murder and will spend the rest of his life in prison less than two miles from the football stadium he used to call home. Not long after the verdict was read several football players and fans tweeted their reactions to it.

Some, like Brandon Spikes, could not believe what had just happened. As much as it surprised Spikes the reaction he got from fans to his reaction surprised him even more.

This is what Spikes tweeted after the verdict was read:

IM CONFUSED ABOUT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM THESE DAYS !!!

The following tweets are representative of the vast majority of the responses Spikes received:

@BrandonSpikes51 just don't murder people

@BrandonSpikes51 Why? Was that not an open and shut case? He's going down on the double murder too.

@BrandonSpikes51 Why? Is it hard for you to understand "don't kill people"? #Ridiculous

@BrandonSpikes51 I'll be happy to explain it to you... When you murder someone, you go to jail for it...even if you are a rich athlete

Spikes was not happy that his friend was not getting more empathy from the world so he decided to ditch Twitter for a while:

Let me get off this cus yall wanna joke and shit smh #coldworld
— BrandonSpikes51 (@BrandonSpikes51) April 15, 2015

He ended his day with this:

I'll get back on tmrw when yall done fake caring
— BrandonSpikes51 (@BrandonSpikes51) April 15, 2015

I'm not sure what he means by 'fake caring.' Folks don't like murderers and do not feel any sympathy towards one. If Spikes is going to put his own opinion out there on social media--which he is entitled to--he should expect to get the reaction that he got.
