The Sinister Story of Phillip Adams

You can so clearly hear the pain in his poor dad's voice. I'm genuinely sorry for everyone involved here.

I feel for this mans family I truly do but also recently learned of the truth that one of the families is currently HOMELESS the technician working on the air conditioning left his wife and 3 children now trying to survive without help The child of one is terrified to leave home by fear of being gunned down THESE other two families also should be helped.

Your comment is exactly what the creators of this video wanted. The disclaimer at the beginning (0:36)of the video is priceless. "Our thoughts and prayers go toward the families that fell victim to the deranged actions of THIS ONE PARTICULAR MAN." In other words because this was a black on white killing spree, the narrator has to make it known that this episode has nothing to do with race. Also, this video offers up more sympathy to the father of Phillip Adams and seemingly Adams himself rather than to murder victims.

Nope, the sensibleness is just not known. y'all live in a fantasy land. Everyone who is murdered in high profile cases get their reputations boosted to Liesville, probably including here. Dr might've felt confident enough to be an asshole to the wrong guy. Hell, the Dr is old enough to feel comfortably racist, idk, and maybe expressed explicit racism to Phillips. Is that impossible? My guesses are way better than stage 2 CTE caused a random mass shooting, which is what everyone chooses to believe cuz it's more comfy. Sometimes shit happens when u casually piss someone off to their face and just continue on w/ur day cuz u perceive yourself to be untouchable in a civilized society. But this cocky Dr just got his whole family killed cuz he was being a careless asshole on the wrong day to the wrong guy. my explanation is way more plausible cuz whatever mental illness from stage 2 CRT Phillips was experiencing, he chose that Dr for a reason, and it wasn't because the Dr was being too nice and too professional. And how many cases do y'all know about where the killer murdered someone he knew personally (and not involving money) where the victim was not causing any problems for the murderer? I know of 1 case, the Scream Killers, AND THAT'S IT! No others. How many such cases do you know? And that case is very, very different than this one. The doctor is complicit in the murder of his grandkids, himself and his wife cuz he can't keep his formerly untouchable mouth in check.

You are cooking up a scenario of an encounter that may or may not ever have happened according to you, where the doctor may or may not have been rude to him.

You can’t really tell until you do autopsies on the brain and by then it’s too late obviously…sure, you can monitor some “symptoms” but it’s not obvious

[@nsahandler]

​@@WeBeatMedicare6969 You can assume that anyone who has played even a single season of football has contracted CTE. It's like smoking cigarettes. Every drag makes the lungs absorb nicotine and increases the chance of altering DNA during the next replication... except worse. Every hit a football player is involved in (so... Every play for every player) causes mini fractures in brain tissue. The more hits someone has, the greater and more-numerous the fractures become. Think about it. In yours (and everyone else's) everyday life, someone bum-rush tackling them is basically the end of the day. They go home or AT LEAST take a break for an hour or so. These guys are getting hit after hit after hit, and they can take more hits because the pads protect their extremities. But you can't protect your brain from hitting your skull. Hit after hit after hit after hit and I haven't even described anything more than a sole, single 10 yard play. Games. Practices. Not to mention just everyday life bumping their heads on stuff.

His dad probably has so much guilt over this. When you think about how much pride and support he had for his son to play football throughout all of those years, not just the NFL, but as a child and a teenager. He was likely pushing him the hardest to stick with it and make it that far, pushing him to strive to be his best. And this is what football does to the brain over time. It's not his father's fault, it's not even Phillip Adams' fault, it's just the very sad fact of long-term contact sports. What Phillip Adams did to those poor people was a tragedy. They didn't deserve that, nobody does. Hopefully something will be able to detect the symptoms of CTE in the future, or maybe a test can be developed to help determine whether or not someone is suffering from it and that person can get some kind of treatment for it, or at least maybe something like a hospice care that can keep them comfortable and safe from themselves and other people. So many of them seem to go out this way and it's just not right.

This man killed 6 people, no matter the excuse, he murdered 6 people. He chose football as a career he knew about sport injuries, yet football was all he wanted. Watching football back when there were no drug scandal's, no football players going to jail for spousal abuse, and no footballers murdering anyone mor themselves, they took the same hits, had the same gear, worked in football longer than some of these players now, they were also respectful people who took being a role model to the younger folks very serious. Players now are overpaid and taught that they are above the law, just like anybody who has the funds to make their criminal activities disappear. This person murdered 6 people in cold blood, went home acted like nothing happened its time the blame be placed where the blame lies, he is a murderer, no excuses.

[@thekidd2117]

@@lizardplum6324 no need to guess. The first case found in a football player was 2005. Since this is only diagnosed post-mortem, it wasn’t until 2017 where a larger sample size (202 samples) could be researched and confirmed the link with 86% having CTE. Adams career was over by 2015. I’m sure it makes you feel better to say things like “he knew the risks but couldn’t say no to the money” but is that really accurate here? The 2017 study was extremely eye-opening for most (except you I guess) regarding the severity and likelihood of CTE developing in football players.

This was definitely tragic for all involved in the situation. I sincerely hope that your son came out of football without any lingering effects. I only played a bit of high school football. Never in my wildest dreams though would I have thought that the concussive force of routine tackles, clashes of helmets, etc. would leave lasting effects unless you suffered a severe concussion. It really makes you wonder though about how widespread this phenomenon might actually be? I know I came out of many plays dizzied & with my ears ringing from the collisions but just shook it off.

Now he has a little brother that wants to be just like him. I often wonder if I am supposed to deny him of that.

[@athelwulfgalland]

@@leelee6850 I certainly understand why you might try not to dwell on it. If you did you'd be analyzing every word or deed your older son did which would be unpleasant for both of you. Truly, I hope you're right, that they'll find a way to detect & reverse this malady. If this is as common as I think it could be it would explain so many things. Meanwhile, I'll be sure to pray for your son! It's naturally for his little brother to want to be like him though. He went into the NFL! THE fantasy of anyone who has ever played or had a love for the game. Still if he did go that route he'd forever be chasing after his brother's shadow. Objectively speaking the NFL players are this age's gladiators in the sense that once the sport chews your body to pieces & spits you out; You have to start all over with reinventing yourself. All the glory & fame is great. It might even help you to reestablish yourself in a new career if you strike while the iron is hot. It has a sell-by date though in which all that past glory or fame won't even get you a cup of coffee at your hometown diner. Today the long game & big money seems to be in computers, programming, robotics or communications networks. Electrical engineering might be another good path for him to pursue. Your name may never be up in lights; But it's the safer bet towards having a stable life. However I understand where you're coming from too. If you discourage him from following his brother he could rebel, act out or it might just rob him of his dreams. No mother should want to do something to cause that. I've been on the receiving end of that very thing though. My dream was to go into the Air Force. When I told my parents that, both of whom grew up as military brats, I was threatened with being disowned in no uncertain circumstances. They even got my Grandma in on it & when Grandma spoke you'd best listen. She didn't play around... After that though I felt incredibly lost because while my peers already had an idea of what they would do in the future my entire plan had been yanked out from under me. I wound up as a dropout punching a card, doing lawn/garden work & scooping snow for as long as my body would allow. All that left me with permanent hearing loss, a bum back & chronic osteoarthritis. Now I work part time in a local 24 hour call center; I just can't bring myself to file for disability yet.

I'm 66 and started having some memory problems at about 55. I was diagnosed 2 years ago as having moderate-stage Dementia, suspected as CTE. I was career Army and suffered a LOT of concussions on hard parachute landings (military parachuting isn't anything like civilian skydiving.) Also quite a few concussions from close explosions, etc in combat. It's terrifying. I'm an intellectual-type man and relied on my memory as a major "tool" in running my life. I'm still working out how to keep it together. BUT. There are some good medications that slow down the progression. So that gives us more time. Personally I HOPE I'll have a fatal heart attack or stroke before I completely lose my mind. As I said, it's terrifying. But trying to hide the problem is NOT the way to deal with it.

There is a lot to learn from the studies going on that surround CTE. I had experiences with someone who was later found to have severe CTE. It was my father in law, his moods would change at the drop of a hat and he could become very violent. We all have the ability to become angry, but with him it was very extreme and dangerous. After he passed away in a car accident (we believe it was possibly suicide) his brain was sent off to the lab that is leading the way in studying CTE. And they found that he had an extreme case of the disease and just like the man from this story his was found to mainly be in the frontal lobe. There are so many pro athletes that go on to either commit suicide, or commit violent crimes, usually murder. I know a lot of people will say this isn't true, but I experienced the affects of brain injuries and CTE first hand and I unfortunately know that it is very real and very tragic.

CTE is devastating and may well have had a role in the slayings but I'm still curious as to why he chose the victims he did, and heartbreakingly children as well:( He had to have a reason for picking the doctor and his family vs other persons. You did an excellent job of describing CTE by the way! It also makes sense that it affecting his frontal lobe led to this tragedy as the frontal lobe "is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, emotions, impulse control, problem solving, social interaction, and motor function" (per Google). It plays a significant role in forming/affecting our personality. I think the topic you chose for this case doesn't fit though. "Sinister" doesn't seem to fit. This is a tragedy really. It doesn't appear that Phillip knew this doctor well, much less had something against him, but I could be wrong as, as I stated, despite the CTE, I do think he has some unknown motive for choosing his victim/s.
