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.
Exactly. Therefore, as targets, they need to take every step possible to minimize their chances of becoming victims of this kind of stuff. No one said he doesn't have a right to buy jewelry and champagne and party like a rock star in a club. But is it smart? Hell no. Like I said, this type of behavior draws unnecessary attention and drastically increases the chances of a bad incident.
