listen man, when u grow up in a rough neighborhood u learn from a early age u need to protect whats yours. if u hand something over once u are done with. u need to put up a fight or everyone is gon walk all over u for the rest of your life.

its what a man does, its not about the jaguar, its about pride. to u hes handing over a car, to me hes handing over his nuts. if u want to take something from someone like forrest u better be prepared to fight for it. thats the attitude that made him survive on his block and thats what made him a great champion in the ring.

Sorry but you can take that route but i would gladly take my route and been a life and healthy and not kill or be killed over a material.

I've been to 11 different countries the last 3 years & I won't go to the united states because everyone has a gun it seems.honduras was like that but they didn't conceal their guns.they displayed them proudly so I didn't stay there long.the us has the most gun murders in the world each year by far.there is many more people there but it's a democracy not a third world poverty stricken country.too many lower class people who can't afford to feed themselves having children.that is a formula for welfare & crime.I'm glad I live in Canada! There is crime here but nowhere near the level of the states.we have gang problems but not to the extent of the big us cities.

I think its unbelievable and a disgrace that everybody in america is allowed to carry a gun! R.I.P Vernon

I 100% agree with you, there's nothing manly about what Vernon, did. What happens if during the fire fight a stray bullet hit's his girlfriends kid and kills him? There's nothing manly about that, that's just plain ******ity. if your by yourself fine you can do that **** if your that dumb, but when there's a kid around you give up the ****ing keys.

I didn't want to bring it up myself out of respect for the late champ, but how many death has there been because of that?

A lot and senseless too...
