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.Comment

ESPN's report is now saying that while Vernon was at the gas station, he had his wallet out, and a guy approached him asking for money. The guy then snatched Vernon's wallet and ran, so Vernon gave chase. The guy turned a corner and Vernon didn't see him, so he began to go back to his car.
On the way back to the car, the guy came back and shot him, and I've read that after he was shot and on the ground, the two guys stood over him and shot him several more times. I've also read that Vernon's gun was never fired.
So all of the talk about him being reckless with his gun should end now, if these details are true.
