P.S. A few weeks ago it was ex NFL star Steve McNair being shot and killed and now former welterweight champ Vernon Forrest who is shot and killed in Atlanta in a possible robbery.

The report says he was running after a fella who took his wallet at a gas station and Forrest ran after him only to let the guy out of his sight and man then shot Forrest many times in the back.

Word is Forrest was a real nice fella just like McNair.

He was the first fighter to beat Shane Mosley in the ring. I remember that fight. I am a tremendous boxing fan and Forrest was a great fighter who made a good living in the ring. What a shame he has to die this way just like McNair.

McNair was 36. Vernon Forrest was 38. Too young to die folks.

Both had so much to offer young people in the inner cities who looked up to them as champions and role models. Report is Forrest 11 year old godson was with him. This is just a terrible terrible story. Again, just like Steve McNair.

We have to STOP THE VIOLENCE!!! To many people are dying in the streets of all races. Some for no reason at all. I hope they find the person who shot Forrest guilty and sentence him for decades in jail.

Of course the person who shot McNair, killed herself.

Rest in peace to Steve McNair and now RIP to Vernon Forrest.   G.C.
