Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
You may have forgotten about this, but at one time Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton reportedly drew guns on each other in the locker room. In what must have seemed like a scene from a Wild West movie, Arenas drew on Crittenton and the favor was returned, all within the friendly confines of the Verizon Center locker room. The confrontation allegedly occurred as a result of gambling debts and all sorts of other fun things involving money.
Now, there's a warrant out for Crittenton in connection with a drive-by shooting that left a mother of four dead. Gilbert, your thoughts? (Click to enlarge)
If you'll remember, both Arenas and Crittenton were suspended for the rest of the season after the gun incident. Arenas was shipped out to Orlando, and you'd think some of the heat would have died down. If Arenas' tweet is any indication, though, that couldn't be further from the truth.
And though Arenas says he's going to keep quiet out of respect for the victim, how long will it actually last? Remember: this is Arenas, and his Twitter account has been an unfiltered peek into his life, and an outlet for him to say whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Ya Know...Fuck You, Gilbert.
Let’s interpret:
“I really wanna say sumthing…” = “See? This is who this guy Crittendon guy is. See? Now that you see this, you can’t blame ME for bringing four guns into a locker room! Poor me.”
“but I wont becuz their’s a dead lady involved” = “But I’m such a great, unselfish guy that I wouldn’t dream of trying to spin this tragic event in some way that ends up making me look relatively good”.
Except, Gilbert—exactly what you were trying to do was to spin this tragic event in some way that ends up making you relatively goo. Only you don’t even have the sense of honor to acknowledge that’s what you’re doing.
Better solution, Gilbert—ignore this publicly. Like most events in life (whether you know it or not), this isn’t about you or your reputation. It’s about a poor woman with four motherless children and doubtless a number of heartbroken friends and family members. The one and only appropriate response would be for you to say absolutely nothing at all. It has nothing to do with you. And fuck you for trying to “cleverly” and indirectly trying to make it relate to your important self.
