Jaguars LT Richard Collier was shot multiple times last night around 3am and is in critical condition. Will post link when I can.

Sorry if Honda. I just checked NFL.com depth charts and he is listed as the backup LT to Pashoa.

In critical but stable condition after surgery.

DE Kenneth Pettaway who was released Saturday, was in the car with him.

First let me say that I pray for a speedy recovery for Collier, and that it is very sad whenever this happens to someone.

BUT, why is this almost always happening to African Americans and not Caucasians? Maybe these football players should start hanging out in a less violent neighborhood?

Riverside is actually a VERY nice neighborhood. Though, as in most big cities, it borders a not-so-nice area of town.

The #1 cause of death for blacks under 30 is murder.In 2003 90% of these deaths were at the end of a hand gun.Blacks are 9 times more likely to be murdered then whites.If you add in the demographic of money (NFL minimum being 200k+) its likely far greater then that, imo.
