Big Rich is paralyzed from the waist down and had is leg amputated.

God Bless Big Rich glad your still alive.

He really is one of the good guys. He is a guardian to two nephews because his sister was a drug addict. He didn't deserve this.

I saw the report about his leg amputation and i hate that. Absolutely hate it.

He was shot 14 times.

Glad he's still with us, hate this kinda stuff.

Wow 14 times? How in the world is he alive? And he wasn't even the target was he just got caught up in some mess that was going on in that area.

No, he was definitely the target. That is the only thing we do know about the investigation. He was the only one shot. That area of town is not a bad area either. It's old historic Jacksonville, nothing but tree huggers, hippies, and rich people living on the river.

Oh really? Guess I heard wrong on ESPN - was passing by when I heard it. It wasn't an official thing was probably just some moron like Skip Bayliss spewing out some junk or I heard him in the wrong context.
