Lets use your logic then. He should not have any problem walking into a biker bar and asking for a drink right? or walking into a gay bar and not getting hit on because it's not his fault for going into those places right or because he has a right as a citizen to go into those places.
Make no mistake...he was a victim. Some of us are saying that if he valued his money and his jewlery and his life he would not have:
1. been out all night. although it's his right to.
2. flashed his jewlery. Save it for a more upscale party.
3. SPRAYED PEOPLE WITH CHAMPAIGN. It kinda pisses people off.
Number three is what probably caused the beating. Yeah he was having fun with Mayweather but someone probably got sprayed that did not want to get sprayed and took it to another level.
You know it's funny. When your young you think you can defend yourself from anything until you find out you can't. As you get older and mature you realize that there is always someone out there that can take what you have at anytime. They can steal your car. steal your money. steal your identity. The only thing one can do is try to eliminate the "chances of opportunity". Oh, he's a victim but a victim of his own circumstance.

As you stated, he has a right to walk into any establishment he choses. He chose a bar. You have the right to go out and enjoy yourself without fearing harassment.
If we're going to condemn Walker for going out, wearing expensive jewelry that his earned money paid for, and buying thousands of dollars worth of champagne, that his earned money paid for, then where does it end? Darrent Williams wasn't draped in jewelry, but he was targeted, Sean Taylor was asleep in his house, but he was targeted, and Javon Walker was targeted as well. The point Im making is, its not a matter of where these athletes go versus where they don't go, they will be targets as long as they are earning millions and there are envious people out there that want a piece.
Javon Walker could've gone to that club in a tee and some jeans, once he was recognized, he became a target. Nothing he could do about it.
