ATLANTA - Former Tennessee Lady Vols star and Olympic gold medalist Chamique Holdsclaw is in custody after being accused of shooting into a woman's car after using a bat to break its windows.
Atlanta police said Thursday that the incident happened Tuesday after Holdsclaw followed 29-year-old Jennifer Lacy to her car. Lacy plays for the Tulsa Shock.
No one was injured. Lacy identified the 35-year-old Holdsclaw as an ex-girlfriend and both played for the Atlanta Dream in 2009.
Holdsclaw was in custody Thursday night in Fulton County Jail. Her bond was set at $10,000 on one charge each of aggravated assault, second-degree criminal damage and reckless conduct.

So sorry to hear this for Chamique. Let's be supportive of her, not critical.

I have to ask what are we supporting? I get so sick of that garbage. Lets support someone chasing an ex-girlfriend into a parking lot, taking a bat to their window and shooting at them.
Can I come over to your place and punch you in the nose and take all your stuff? Please be supportive ok?

Sure, no problem.
I'll even contribute some lead to your haul.
Would you prefer double-00 buck or hollow points?

Exactly right. All I will support is her taking responsibility for this stupidity and facing the consequences of it.

That's not liberal. That's weird.

That is not "love". Actions like that are terrible manifestations of a character flaw. Maybe it is insecurity, maybe it is jealousy, maybe it is a rank need to possess another person or maybe it is retribution. But it is not love.
But hey, she's a former Vol so it's okay, right?

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!...or another one of my favorites you see on here often when it involves these 'thug' athletes is: 'well, he's/shes young..and still maturing.'.....PLEASE...in reality, athletes SHOULD BE HELD to higher standards because of the benefits they receive while playing college sports, especially if they are on scholarship! Turned around, would these athletes say to the university "well let's be supportive" if the school wasn't being responsible towards its obligations to athletes and sports programs?? I think not....

It is easy for those who know not sin to cast stones. Let us recall that Chamique has been battling severe mental disorders for years -- some forcing her to leave the game. Too bad she doesn't have a physical injury, perhaps a torn ACL. Then all of you would pray for her rather than hate her.

I'm being supportive of a fellow human being going through a tough time, obviously. Re your offer, no thank you.

Many, many of the super-talented female basketball players have a "girlfriend thing" going on. Get over it. It's not relevant. Move into the 21st century.

I've followed this woman's career for a long time and its full of trouble mentally for her. She has tried to control it by talking to groups, tweeting about her struggles with depression, posting inspirational quotes on FB , but that still wasn't enough. She finally acted out her thoughts on a person she felt deep feelings for and lost control. I'm not condoning her actions or giving any excuse for shooting into someones car . She will be brought to justice and the law will prevail. I do believe the judge will and should evaluate her mental capacity and order that she gets profession help. Her father also suffers from mental issues. Not sure what .
