Javon Walker found Unconcious, Robbed in streets of Las Vegas

[MTK]

The attack on Walker may have happened regardless of his behavior and appearance that night, but I find it hard to believe that his flashing of expensive jewelry and spraying of champagne didn't at least contribute to bringing extra attention to himself and therefore making him more of a target than he already was. To think that it had nothing to do with it is pretty naive IMO.

So you're saying I'm naive for believing that his status played a bigger role in him getting robbed and assaulted than his behavior did? I don't think. I just believe that it is another way of looking at the situation.

I can agree with you all that his behavior may have contributed to the situation, but I beleive that his status played a bigger role. I've been out to clubs, and have seen people in the VIP section acting similarly, yet none of them get hurt. Why? Beacause nobody knows who these guys are. They work the whole week at a 9 to 5, or hustle on street corners, or whatever they do to get income, and want to enjoy themselves on the weekend. They replicate Javon's actions, and are not assaulted when leaving the scene. The major difference between these guys and Javon is his multi million dollar contract. Thats the way I see it.

No, that's not what I said.

I said if you think his spraying of champagne and flashing of jewelry had nothing to do with it then you are naive.

You seem to acknowledge now it had something to do with it, but his status played a larger role.

Maybe it did, I'm just saying his actions brought more attention to himself. Attention that you don't need as a high profile celeb.

If he had stayed low key in the club he might have been better off, that's all I'm trying to say.
