iverson has offered to pay all funeral costs for this guy
kinda sad story

Quote:

On June 24, 2003, a group of teens approached Johnson while he was waiting for a trolley and demanded he give up the Iverson jersey he was wearing. When he refused, Johnson was shot in the back of the neck by Robert Ferguson, who is serving a prison sentence on attempted murder charges. The shooting left Johnson paralyzed, in a wheelchair and eventually on a ventilator. Last week, the ventilator failed, and Johnson suffered irreparable brain damage. The family chose to take him off it.

it has everything to do with it.

go to fenway with a yankees hat on.

if you make it out of there without getting your ass kicked, i will give you $100.

B16RacerN2NR · 11-16-2006, 11:31 AM

are you talking about the shooter being the sports fanatic or the kid not wanting to give up his jersey? because the shooter didn't do it because he was a basketball fan, he did it because he wanted something nice and expensive (yes jerseys are pretty costly) I can bet you dollars to cents that sports had anything to do with it from the shooters perspective. Now if you are talking about the victim, then yeah, like i said, it was a stupid move and from his perspective he didn't want to give up his like for sports...well , his like for Iverson for that matter.

Slammed89Integra · 11-16-2006, 05:06 PM

Sad. But guys. Don't argue if he died valiantly or not. He fucking died of a jersey.

Silverchild79 · 11-16-2006, 05:52 PM

he shouldn't have to give it up, it's his property. End of story

anyone dumb enough to kill over a shirt should be executed in a timely manner that is advantagous to the taxpayer. End of story

I'll pretext my next statment by saying that this has nothing to do with the fact they were minority, my opinion applies to every race, creed, and color

here is your crime and punishment reform

rope is $3.50/yd at home depot, and you can resue them...
