Your News: Gilbert Arenas is in Serious Trouble
The investigation of Gilbert Arenas and the guns he brought to the Verizon Center took a more serious turn Friday amid a report that the Wizards guard and teammate Javaris Crittenton allegedly drew on each other during a locker-room argument over a gambling debt.
Arenas responded with a flurry of messages on Twitter, at times making light of the news but also making one tweet that read somewhat like a denial: "I understand this is serious..but if u ever met me you know i dont do serious things im a goof ball this story today dont sound goofy to me."
The NBA and the Wizards would only confirm that an investigation is taking place — and it’s being led by law enforcement, not the league. The capital has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation.
The Wizards and Arenas both have acknowledged that Arenas kept guns in his locker. Arenas has said he took his unloaded guns to the Verizon Center because he didn’t want them in his house after the birth of his latest child.
This is a story because of what interest? Some in society are interested in seeing rich Black men behind bars for owning guns and capable of self-defense? The problem here is guns are being stored inside the arena and people are doing stupid things with them. The Wizards need to beef up it’s internal security because this team of losers is getting angry. How many other multimillionaires are packing heat? TI going to jail wasn’t enough I guess? Next it will be illegal for a celebrity to provide for his own security? Address the greater problem by providing security in the contracts of your franchise players? This problem is NBA wide and a problem for all celebrities. We just worry about the popparazzi shooting. What about stars shooting back?
