Jaguars Tackle Paralyzed Below Waist

Sad news on the condition of Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier.

Dr. Andy Kerwin, a surgeon for the University of Florida at
Shands Jacksonville hospital, said Collier, who was shot 14 times, is paralyzed
below the waist and had his left leg amputated.

Of the 14 bullets, Collier had wounds to his back, left groin, left leg, right buttock and a bullet severed his spinal cord.

Doctors have told Collier that he will never walk again.

The Jaguars have been kept in the dark about Collier’s situation until his family and Richard understood what happened to him exactly.

Tragic situation and hopefully a lesson to other NFL players that nothing is guaranteed in life.

So what about the scum bags who did this to him? why is it that they will read these blogs, and see that no one besides me is calling them wrong?
If you all who did this can read?, you’re a scum bag. a ni_ _ er afflicted with the crab in the bucket mentality.

What’s even more sad than this, is that someone knows exactly who did this. But they are soo proud that “they don’t snitch”. keeping a pact with satan himself. No wonder the hood is so dark with hatred, lascivious,and crime. Satan is laughing at the hood. He has them thinking not telling the truth is cool. They call it,”I don’t snitch”. and they are proud of it. And if it ever turns out that caucasian guys ( I doubt it) did this, what I said here still goes.

what’s really sad is that this young man has worked hard to make something of himself and in the prime of his life some nobody came and took his dreams away. who ever you are, you will reap what you sow. my thoughts and prayers are with richard collier.

First of all…my prayers go out this man and his family. It’s a tough road ahead for him and his family, but keep God first, and he will see you through….With that being said….I’m from Jacksonville, and when I first heard this story, and the circumstances surrounding the shooting…I automatically thought he was set-up… him and a friend were following 2 chicks they met at a club, home to “drop off thier car”…and to ride with them…sorry, it just sounds a lil fishy 2 me…I may be wrong. We had an interesting conversation at the barbershop…to get to the point, we were arguing that being in the NFL, and having money, there are just some places you can’t go anymore. My barber said that just because you ahve money, you should not have to stop living your life…I agreed but my point was YOU DO HAVE TO CHANGE. Having money means having haters..everybody does not want to see you do well…NFL’ers, NBA’ers, and all other pro sports should look at these situations more carefully…Throw your own party, Hire your own security…Call the strippers and all of that to your house…You can control who is coming in and out….just an opinion.

hello i first want to say that God is still in control. My prayers go to the family friends and team players. i agree with the comments that are stated in this blog, and believe that God is still is in control he said that revenge is his meaning that we may not be able to see justice now but in the end God will give the justice that is due and it is way more powerful than man can do. So if the person that knows who done this you are just as dirty as the killer who took this man life and you to will have to answer when GOD calls. OBEY the laws of the land and you he state to obey his commandments.

How sad it is that this young black man has to go thru this, and then be told that he will never walk again!! God is still working on him and isn’t finished healing him. We will keep praying for you and I have faith in my GOD that you will walk again.

May GOD keep you, and protect you. You are in our Prayers.

TO A COMMENT UP TOP IF IT WAS SET UP GOD WILL INDEED FIND THE WAY TO GET THAT PERSON OR PERSONS BACK EVEN IF IT’S NOT SENDING THEM TO JAIL FOR THIS CRIME THEY WILL REP WHAT THEY SOW.
