Football Player Paralyzed, Has Leg Amputated

Richard Collier, the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle who was shot 14 times while sitting in a car earlier this month, has had his left leg amputated and is paralyzed from the waist down. Collier has no memory of the shooting, but his agent said that he "has extreme grief for a lifetime of dreams he won't be able to fulfill." Police haven't arrested anyone for the shooting, but they say Collier was targeted. [SI]

I really hate watching a football game and a man,,a really big man is down on the ground hurting,,,This shooting was un called for,,I think who ever did will have bad luck,,its called Carma,,,,He really had a chance to do what he loved and someone took that away,,and it is a big shame,,,I pray for him to be strong and recover,,life throws us punches all the time and we have to be strong to survive them,,,,,,
