    At what point do you consider euthanasia? When confronted with a vegatative state a timely passing seems far more dignified. I feel for the man's situation and in no way am I making light of the circumstances.

    You can get on with your daily life fine without guns but it's more of a struggle without hands and not heard of any strangling sprees of late

    Damn not this again. Remember Vernon Forrest...

    Guys like Emanuel Augustus who have this much talent should be retired with millions. If you won a world title or fought for one you shouldn't have to live in the ghetto anymore assuming this shooting occurred in the ghetto environment.

    Whoever shot him wanted him dead not wounded. They went for his head. I hope whoever did it gets caught and taken off the street.

    Psychopaths kill people. How many people are going to shoot a guy in the head even over the worst dispute? If it was about money if the guy dies you don't get your money back and if it's about respect you don't gain it by shooting people in the head.

    The person who did this probably thought he couldn't fight him 1:1 or with bare hands.

    Julian Letterlough(sp) is another unfortunate example. Shot in the back around eight years ago.l

    If it's about killing someone who made you wrong, then you don't want respect from him, you just want him gone , out of your life and from this world

    a lot of people would murder their enemies if it wasn't due to fear of being punished / the physical difficulty of actually killing someone

    We're all potential murderers because everybody has wished someone else to die at some point

    if everybody could kill other people in complete anonymity, at distance and using nothing but the power of their minds (like a Death Note), humanity would dissapear in a couple years

    Any updates? I can't find anything new on his condition, just about them releasing the suspect's identity.

    No news is usually bad news in these types of situations, unfortunately. :-(
