Vernon Forrest Shot and Killed in Atlanta

[WhoreUs]

Now while I'm sure Forrest had a legal license for the gun, unless the kid was in the car when they attempted to steal it, he should have just let them take it and called the cops. Jags stick out and the cops would have likely found it in short order. No material possession is worth your life, plus his 1 gun vs the 2 the attackers had still left the odds intheir favor. Yet another sad day for boxing in a summer that has been filled with them.

shut up.

he did what he did.

blame the criminals not what a guy did to defend himself and his property.

you don't know what happened. neither do i.

so just shut the fuck up.

It wasn't his fault, true, but when you have a kid involved in this situation you can't just "react naturally" as you normally would. First & foremost on his mind should've been how to difuse the situation in the safest way for the child, and himself.

Chasing gun toting carjackers throught the street with your own gun while leaving the kid unattended in the very same car they tried to steal is just plain ****** and turned out to obviously be a very wrong move.

you weren't there so shut the hell up.

no one knows what you would do in a situation like that.

some run , some fight , some piss their pants.

I guess me and you live in two different worlds. I will carry a gun and protect my family and what's mine.

What if Forrest gave him the car and the guy busted on him and the kid anyway? Anyway agree to disagree

man dont even bother listening to these spoiled little white kids.

these kids live in gated communitys, they dont know how its like to have to protect yourself and the **** u claim. they dont understand that if u hand **** over and show weakness u will get jacked to the point where u die from starvation.

RIP Vernon

I feel so bad for Forrest. He just becomes another stat in America's gum crime problem.

Crazy month for Boxers and former boxers.....I know it's kind of an oxymoron but I wish the violence would stop.....this kind at least.

[AssasinKing]

Im shocked.....sad sad news....R.I.P and condolences to his family

cant believe it The Veron Forrest was shot dead and it still not in B.S news.

Arturo Gatti, Alexis Arguello and now Veron?

There are also other celeb not in boxing who died close.

I know right? It's not on ********* either.

Don't be so quick to judge. The only fact we know is that Vernon Forrest is dead. I'm always dissapointed on how quick we throw away somebody's good attributes and try to make them into some crazy negativity. If you look up Vernon Forrest's charity Destiny's Child you will know how good of a person Vernon was. RIP Champ.
