ok please read its important.....vernon forrest

[JmH Reborn]

That just shows what you know.

It had nothing to do with his car whatsoever.

And it had nothing to do with the money, either. Vernon willingly gave up the cash he had on him.

It was the Championship ring that set him off.

You try dedicating yourself to something as incredibly demanding as boxing for the majority of your life, only to have some punk walk up and take what is basically the embodiment of all that hard work and sacrifice, and tell me how you'd feel.

He was overflown with emotion.

Anybody who's ever been in an actual face-to-face, heated situation (and not an internet argument) knows what it's like to lose yourself in the emotion.

Sometimes you make a rash decision.

Vernon made one.

He paid for it with his life.

Isn't that enough?

Do you guys really have nothing better to do than sit here and downgrade him for that?

He lost his life for a ring dude. A material possession, something that could be replaced. That is the point

[ßringer]

Nobody is dis*****g that

But if he used that noggin of his, he'd be alive

We're only human ; we're prone to make mistakes.

Vernon got caught up in the emotion and made a fatal one.

I don't see what anybody gets out of calling him a "punk", and talking about how "******" he was for making a mistake.

I'm out of this thread ; I've said my peace.

Vernon Forrest was 10 times the man that any of the people who are trying to **** on him in here ever will be.

[Pullcounter]

I stand by that 100%

what was he doing with a gun on his person?

what would he have done if he caught up with the robber.....probably shot him.

Hey, lets all shoot anyone who does wrong to us.......great idea.

forrest had a right to defend himself. he don't have bodyguards like floyd.

I see your point Brings
bit really it was a ring bro
They would have made him another one right quick

That was the trigger though

Tooo bad

[Kalion]

Vernon pulled a gun on street robbers and ran after them looking for a gun fight...

...turns out he lost the gun fight.......he should have been more man but he had to go all thug....

......

Why is there only 135 on the bar?

[smellmycheese]

do you know in the u.s is legal to carry a register gun and if shoot someone defending yourself than its ok jerk study the law and then comeback till then stfu

And that is one of the reasons US society is fundamentally flawed. It scares me to think that so many millions of people still worship the right to bear arms, even after all that has happened.

[street bully]

don't see nothing wrong with that.

British people are the biggest *******, and some of them have been brainwashed into thinking having guns to protect your family is a bad thing.

[UKBRAWLER]

Chasing armed street robbers does not make you hard it makes you ******......

Having guns is a bad thing........thats why your murder rates are x10 of those in the uk......But carry on killing each other if ya like.......

[Santo Domingo]

I would agree with UKBRAWLER, you just don't go out doing vigilante **** around and parading a handgun. Its cool in the comic books, but only hurts people in real life.

If he had just let it go instead of acting like a badass, he'd be alive today

His insurance company would have given him a new Jaguar. Vernon would/could have partnered with the Atlanta police to develop a new anti-crime initiative.

Carrying the gun was fine. It is his right as an American. CHASING the guys down after the incident was effectively over was a monumental mistake.
