[BREAKING NEWS] Will Smith shot and killed

Not the actor...

 

Still crazy.. Any idea why?

 

For anyone panicking from the title it's not the real Will Smith

Senseless and tragic like most killings. I believe that Pierre Thomas was also in the car but wasn't injured. Leaves wife and 3 kids behind.

Be careful out there guys. There was a thread about banging another's door on purpose recently. This is what can happen when you don't know who you're dealing with.

 

Should have put in former Saints player. He's well known in the NFL community.

 

^ Smith's instagram pic from just 11 hrs ago makes it even more speechless.

R.I.P. William Raymond Smith III

Jeez. How do people get so mad over something like that. I mean so mad he shoots the driver, but the wife too. Insanity. Crimes of passion I can understand. But what kind of crime is this. It's not even materialism. Just pure anger over an event. No history. Anything. I just don't get it.

 

Title needs to be changed.

 

That's immediately what I thought of when I saw this news. There were posters in that thread talking about "never letting someone disrespect me in front of my family yadda yadda yadda..."

Especially in front of your family, de-escalate a situation. No matter how you feel about it, we're swimming in guns and lots of people can't handle anger anymore, for whatever reason. Peace and RIP to this dude in the prime of his life.

 

Senseless killing...

 

This should be in the NFL subforums so as to not confuse people.

 

Puts that parking lot incident thread into perspective...


RIP. So senseless.

 

This x100. So many maniacs in this world, always try to handle conflicts peacefully.

 

Let's wait to see this guys lawyers try to use "Stand your Ground" law as a defense.

Was a father of 3 as well. What an idiotic killing. RIP to him and prayers out to his family

 

Crazy..

and very sad. Feel very bad for his family to lose their father so senselessly.

 

That's a big dude.

That, coupled with the fact that Smith was in his car, make this seem like it was just a street thug being a street. Seems like him feeling in fear for his life is out of the question.
