R.I.P Vernon...the 3 cowards that took vernons life were getting they ass beat like some bitches in fulton co jail,,rice street up on the 6th and 7th floor! they wont like it when they get to prison,vernon has alot of love in the prison system belive it or not,he has alot of close friendsand boxers who didnt make it and are serveing time
It's so awful what happened. I wish Vernon had not pursued the thugs after they robbed him. Of course what they had done was outrageous and infuriating, but you just have to let God deal with such evil (and He will). I really liked Vernon Forrest.
look at that bitch hiding, waiting for his getaway car. prison is the safest place for those 3 ignorant punk-ass street niggas! if they ever get out, they are dead that day. same with john lennon's killer. some people need prison to protect THEM, not others.
my deepest respect and condolences to the family and friends, but can someone narrate what happen, I can't see much on the actual footage, how they killed him.?
I don't follow this video or see where it happened but I would like to say to all parties involved from family and friends to fans that just enjoyed watching this man perform. My heart goes out to you all and I am adding you all in my prayers. It's a sad day where anyone is in a position where they feel the need to rob another and to take a life is just horrible. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! PEACE!!
It's sad how a man gets killed for something he worked hard for, due to lack of education and work ethic thugs think it is okay to rob innocent citizens, Forrest was a brave warroir and these men were weak cowards who should die 1000 deaths.
Must be careful at any gas station in neighborhoods where struggle is a everyday of life thing. Due to lack of education & dedication to the street life mentality many thugs really believe that the average man has a million dollars cash in their pockets like banks do not exist & its that kind of retarded thinking that will get a innocent man or woman killed. BE SAFE MY FELLOW HUMANS !
lol, i ran our of gas at 285 and had to walk to an exit in west end to find a gas station, lol that was at 4:00am, there was someone else with me though, I didn't see nobody on the streets, but ya know.
Forrest stopped at a gas station in the Atlanta neighborhood of Mechanicsville.[11] With him was his 11-year-old godson. As the boy went inside the gas station, Forrest went to the back of his car to add air to a low tire. As this occurred, a man robbed him at gunpoint and fled. Forrest, who was armed, went after the man and shots were exchanged. After a short distance, Forrest gave up the chase and began talking to a second man. It was this man that shot Forrest seven to eight times in the back
RIP Vernon. People - word of advice from a real ATLien. If it aint in Buckhead or it aint like 20 people there, don't go to gas statations in ATL at nightime. Vern was killed at a gas station I am very familiar with in Mechanicsville Atlanta right next to a former very rough housing project - McDaniel Glenn. Unless I was on E, I would never had gone to this spot. I would just drive by for years.
I cried for Vernon Forrest.. I didn't cry for Michael Jackson cause I didn't stand over Michael Jacksons casket looking at him... I stood over Vernon Forrests open casket looking at my favorite boxer who was taken by 3 cowards. Show some respect. RIP Vernon.. A true champion.
Ok. Chad.., my most sincere and deepest condolence. Am a fan also not as big as you i do respect him as a champ. I hopethat all the weight of the law drops on those bastards.. excuse the previous sarcasm..
Bkitch FUCC you AND MARIO!You havent done anything for anyone more less than that trash ass fucc nicca that killed my homie!He turned himself in cuz he gettin them phone calls.And they better hurry and save the rest of those fucc bois cuz it aint hot yet!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man fuck all yall!, yall dnt even kno mario. mistakes happin u dnt kno how he feel bout all dis i doubt he not gon stop thinkin bout it yea it wusnt da best choice but he turned his self in so all yall stupid ass mutha fuckas need 2 shut the fuck up! {u gon be iigh baby boy beleive dat keep yo head up!}
The guy that shot him wasn't even that guy that tried to rob him! After coming back from looking for the guy that robbed him, he ran into another guy that he thought might done it. They figured out that it wasn't him but when Vernon turned to walk away, the dude shot him in the back
This is why whenever I see certain people at night wearing all black I just get the hell out of there. Did they think they weren't going to get caught on camera at a gas station? They must've been really desperate for cash. Seems like a setup, like they knew he went there all the time at a certain time. They were there before he got there right? Also I don;t understand how he got shot in the back? Maybe while the robber was hiding on the street in a dark corner? All black at night = Heist
Vernon, I know that one day we will continue our conversation in HEAVEN.. that night we were terribly interrupted by your killers on the phone, If they only knew what a GOOD MAN God had put on earth, they would have not done what they did... Please....Pray for his family... I Know that they are hurting so bad, Because he was a good friend, and I am so hurt,,,,,,,'RIP my friend...LOVE CDA
this is so sad, I really wish people would stop saying Vernon Forrest was a thug, He was anything but that he was one of the true good guys in sports and his work in and out of the ring showed it time and again the only thugs are the ones that killed him! I was and am a huge vernon Forrest fan I followed his whole career. for the people who put him down, If Vernon had seen one of you robbed he would have probably done the same thing. R.I.P. viper you were one of the best!
do not use irresponsibility as an excuse to justify the actions of the killers. vernon chased 'em down, because they were punk-bitches who deserved to die for stealing what he worked so hard to achieve. you know they're just gonna blame him when they get caught too. "he said he was gonna get his other gun and kill us... we had no choice" or some bullshit like that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if he didn't grab he own gun and chase them down he'd be alive minus his ring,watch and wallet. His thug mentality of getting his own gun and chasing them is what got him killed.
thug mentality? in hindsight, which unfortunately vernon has not got the luxury of, maybe it was irresponsible to chase them down - i agree. but until youre in a situation like that i would say its impossible to know how you'd react. im guessing that, being the man he was, vernon refused to accept being robbed was acceptable and decided to give chase. to suggest its his own fault for being shot is typical of the apathetic society we've become.
Why get mad at the guy for trying to rever thounsands worth of jewelry. Hell, if someone stole my stuff i'd want it back too. And I'm just a small white guy.
some people are robbed and killed just being in the wrong place at wrong time. If you black and grab a gun your a thug if your white its like you were trying to protect yourself know what a thug is before you speak . You sound like you can tell the future wether if this was you you would have lived because you did'nt grab a gun. You are lost my frien. You can be a victim anytime you walk the street nice hood bad hood. It happens oh but you know it all so this can't happen to you.
The fact is he was robbed of a rolex and ring and then retrieved a gun and chased these people for several blocks. You can call that being a vigalante if thug is too harsh. But is is absolutly not self defense.
imo that is self defense trying to get back whats stolen from a person. only a coward would just there and be robbed. but nobody knows when death is awaiting for them. rip! to a great a fighter.
since when did self-defense become "thug mentality"???
i get tired of these racist undertones and code words. 'gep1976' youre abosolutley right, if it was a white person in this position, the only word used would be "victim", not thug!!
so sad...one of the coolest people's life cut way 2 short....aside from his obvious talents in the ring, he did alot of positive things outside the ring....and everytime i think of vernon, i always see that smile. RIP
I just hope that these gutless pieces of shit aren't protected by anyone in their hood. i know if one of my hometown hero's was shot then the locals would hound out the perpetrators and either hand them over to the police or deal with it themselves. RIP vernon - good man, good boxer - didn't deserve to meet his end at the hands of punk cowards after showing courage in the ring. I would love to have seen his killers man up and fight him man-on-man
they are kids, they talk too much, everybody is going to know soon who did it and in every place they fall there is going to be someone willing to cut their necks for what they did to Vernon.
