Jaguars Reserve OT Collier Shot, Facing Life-Threatening Injuries

prayers go out to him..this never ends it seems..
GW has been thru it before but not again...

hope he pulls thru..

This is terrible. Where does this end?

It's called tougher gun laws. I'm not trying to take away anyones rights. Just make it harder to buy certain types of guns. What's so hard about that? Oh I know. It's called the NRA. The great and powerful Lobby for a safer America.

Leave that out of this thread. Besides, criminals don't follow laws.

I hope he recovers. It's horrible for GW to go through this AGAIN, but for the Jags, they're lucky to have him on their staff. He can help guide the team and families through this.

Awful stuff. Like Buster said, lets keep this thread apolitical.

Man, that sucks

Lets hope the young man can make a full recovery and life a normal life .

This is bullshit. There has to be an end to this crap. I'm glad to hear though that he's in stable condition. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

This brings up bad memories. I really hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery.

Don't be a hypocrite by arguing the point out of the other side of your mouth. As you said, there's no need for any of that stuff in this thread.

Back on topic, according to AP, the family requested privacy, which is why there have been no updates.
Jags' Collier shot, has life-threatening injuries - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080902/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_jaguars_collier_shot_10)

One other thing in that article is that I like that Del Rio is putting the media in place on this one:
But Del Rio said he disagreed with anyone wanting to lump Collier's shooting in with some of the team's other recent troubles.


"He was out last night, enjoying himself, having a good time, being responsible," the coach said. "I take offense to people that insinuate and call that a lack of discipline or a lack of responsibility. There are no rules about being out on a Monday night before your day off the following day.


"Listen, a person got shot. The guy who shot the gun is the problem, not the guy who got shot. He's the victim. He was victimized. You ought to be able to go out and have a good time and go back home and not be worried about being killed or being put in the hospital with bullet holes.


"I take offense to people who are out there lumping together and trying to make this an issue of team discipline. This is a disciplined football team. This is a big blow, but let's not put the blame on the wrong person or the wrong situation. The person that pulled the trigger is the person that's wrong."
