Richard Collier Updated Condition?
Richard Collier suffered 14 gunshots, one that severed his spinal cord and he is paralyzed from the waist down. Some of those gunshots led to the amputation of his leg above the knee.
Here is a link to the story today:

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr Collier and his family, as well as the Jaguar team who are grieving the loss of the career of a very talented young man.
For those of you who are blaming Richard you couldnt be more wrong. He is not a thug, he was out on his night off, he wasn't in the hood but an upscale neighborhood considered safe.
Your comments seem to be racially motivated. If it had been a white player I doubt you would have said anything about it.

It is really sad that this happened to him and all the other people that are victims to crime in our country. Only thing I can do is hope that he lives his life as well as can be and the punks that did this get their just desserts.

I heard the same no more leg, that sucks, he just signed an extension too. What a sick sad world when guys like Sean Taylor or Richard Collier randomly become victims of some f*ed up crimes. There's too many thugs and wanna be gangsters out in the world. Sad so sad.

You want to know how this could have been avoided? Simple...when you're a multi-millionaire and you sit outside one of the projects at 2:00 in the morning with your Escalade thumpin', you just upped your chances of being shot by some drug dealer.
Note to all NFL players...go home after the game invite a few 'close friends' over, build a nice fire in the fireplace and have a few drinks to unwind. You'll live longer...trust me.
Gun control isn't the answer..."Self" control IS!

someone call McCain and/or Obama and tell them to mention Gun Violence in the next debate. This and Sean Taylor are great examples of the fact that we need better gun control.
