Yeah this is a pretty Nebraskan take. Mental health is a very serious thing doesn't excuse what he did but is understandable in context of what he was reportedly going through.There are "mistakes" and then there are completely dumb idiot moves (done intentionally and incompetently) that should not only be punished but mocked as well.
Maybe "the help he needs" is to be mocked and derided for doing stupid things, which is the case for pretty much all of us that weren't 5* athletes who were worshiped and given preferential treatment for our entire lives...
We're helping.
