    It shouldn't matter. Even if he was in a Rolls Royce, he doesn't deserve to be shot at!! I hope they catch who ever is responsible.

    Completely inappropriate. The man got SHOT and all you can worry about is a stupid game?

    I'm glad he's ok. He can take all the time he needs to get back on the court.

    You are right, many New Orleans people stay here after the hurricane, should be some Hornets fans in Houston, but seriously I heard that the rate of crime was increased too after the hurricane. With the today's recession, Houston is having more problems than before. Should not go out after 1AM

    Well, I apologize and I hope Carl is ok as much as you do.

    But deep down inside, I do have a little question why he showed up in that neighborhood at midnight. Thats why I said "behave yourselves and be safe" and this is just a general advice for all players. Dont get it personal if you are a good home boy.

    A stupid game is not "all i can worry about". But I think we at least have the right to express our points, as the team's loyal fans.

    If he drives a Rolls Royce, and he's driving in a bad neighborhood in the middle of the night just to pick up some fast food, then that does matter. There's a difference between being irresponsible and deserving what you get.

    Speedy recovery, Landry! I will say prayers for you.

    BTW, what part of Houston is Carl living in? I definitely so don't want to live there.

    and some of these comments are ridiculous. He's got a life away from the team, his biggest mistake was probably not knowing the area enough or underestimating it and choosing to live there. But let the man get food whenever he wants. It's like y'all think the plane drops them off at their front door or something. It the plan landed around midnight, they still have to get off the plan, get their bags, do whatver else is required before leaving the airport. Then the drive from hobby to downtown is about 20 mins itself.

    It's very possible he got home and realize their was no food and he was hungry so he went back out. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe he does have someone who stocks his fridge and they hadn't done it. Or maybe he's got another home and this is his in season house, like some players often get, so it's not stocked with food. Who knows.

    As for the incident, a lot of things are possible. I'm guessing the car was stolen for them to initiate the crash. Hopefully someone can ID the vehicle incase its found.

    Nah, i think they said they thought there have been another shooting because it was reported almost an hour earlier, but it was the same one.

    Are you kidding me ? Are you from the US before I say more ? I'm a High School principal and I deal with them all the time. You need to watch Gangland on National Geographic theres some interesting stuff there. Gangs are stronger now than they have ever been !

    Just heard this...WTF :mad:

    This is crazy. Carl is lucky to not get hurt badly. It could have been much much worse.

    We can manage without Landry for a while. Let's hope that he returns in full strength soon because we absolutely need him in the playoffs.
