From TMZ:

NFL star Chris Henry has died as a result of the injuries he sustained after falling out of the back of a moving pick-up truck yesterday.

Charlotte-Mecklenbruck police tell TMZ Henry died at 6:36 AM EST this morning.

He was 26.

As we previously reported, cops believe Henry — a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals — jumped into the back of the truck, in an attempt to stop his fiancee from leaving a “domestic situation” at her parents’ home in North Carolina.

Henry was rushed to a local hospital — where he passed away this morning.

Authorities tell us they’re still investigating the situation.

[8:32 a.m. - 12/17/2009] – Chris Henry Is Battling For Life After Fall From Truck

Henry was found in the road in south Charlotte “apparently suffering life-threatening injuries,” according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Police spokesman Robert Fey said officers were stationed near the 26-year-old Henry’s hospital room. He had no information on Henry’s condition, but said he was alive.

“We ask everyone to pray for Chris,” agent Andy Simms of PlayersRep Sports said in a statement. “We also ask that you respect the privacy of Chris’ family. Chris is indeed battling for his life tonight, and our thoughts and prayers (are) with him during this extremely difficult time.”

Police said a dispute began at a home just before noon and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his fiancee — whom they did not identify by name — was driving away from the residence.

“The domestic situation continued between the operator and Mr. Henry,” the police said in a statement. “At some point while she was driving, Mr. Henry came out of the back of the vehicle.”

Henry was found on a residential street about half a mile (800 meters) from the home when police were called to the scene. Fey wouldn’t identify the woman and said no charges would be filed Wednesday.

Henry is engaged to Loleini Tonga, and the couple has been raising three children.

Henry was away from the team after breaking his left forearm during a win over Baltimore on Nov. 8. He had surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve following the game. Charlotte is home to his fiancee’s parents.

Team spokesman Jack Brennan said he had little information other than Henry was badly hurt.

“We are aware he was in an accident and that his injuries are very serious,” Brennan said. “We are staying in touch with the situation and are ready to offer whatever assistance we can.”

Henry is in the final year of his contract with the Bengals, who let him go after his fifth arrest following the 2007 season. Owner Mike Brown then brought him back a few months later, signing him to a two-year deal. Henry had stayed out of trouble with the police since his return.

In an interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer in October, Henry credited his fiancee for helping him straighten out his life, saying, “She’s been a big help. She’s been right here with me and going through things and helping out on my side. We have the kids, and she has my back with everything I’ve needed.”

From the start, his career has been sidetracked by off-the-field problems.

Henry repeatedly got in trouble at West Virginia, where former Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez told him that he was an embarrassment to himself and the program.

Most teams to shied away from Henry in the 2005 draft. Cincinnati was the only one that brought him in for a visit, and warned him that he had to stay out of trouble if he was going to make it in the NFL. Then, the Bengals drafted him in the third round.

His ability to run past defenders made him an integral part of the Bengals’ run to the playoffs in 2005. He caught Carson Palmer’s only pass in a playoff loss to Pittsburgh.

His rookie season also marked the beginning of his problems in the NFL. He was arrested for marijuana possession in December 2005, and again on a weapons charge a month later in Florida. He was arrested four times in all, drawing repeated suspensions — two games in 2006, the first half of the 2007 season — for violating the league’s conduct policy.

Before the start of the season, he got a tattoo that said “Blessed” below his left ear, a reminder of how many chances he’s had.

“I don’t live the way I did in the past,” Henry said, in an interview with The Associated Press during training camp. “I kind of plan my days out and take it one day at a time and stay away from the wrong people. I’m not partying anymore. I’m just focused on football right now and my family. I don’t associate with the same people. I’ve completely changed everything.”

    I wonder what his Fiancee is going to get for this… Probably nothing at all. The lives of black men in this country is meaningless. And they show us on the news everyday. I’ll never forget how Donte Stallworth got probation and a fine for killing a black man on a DUI and Mike Vick got 2 years for murdering dogs. Lets know me where our worth is on the food chain. Gotta love america. I’ll be very curious to see how they handle this situation. Very curious

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CHINKYDIAMONDII/ CHINKYDIAMONDII

    Ok…this is a horrible story and outcome. The worse part is the argument probably wasn’t that serious and they would be ok after time. But what is worst is a below post asking what the fiancee will get?!?! She did nothing but drive AWAY from him… Did he not jump in the BACK of the pickup on his own? So what would she be charged with? Driving a car? This was an accident and believe me she is suffering enough as it is. I agree with the points u made regarding black men, hovever use the correct platforms to get ur point out.

    Zeru25, you wrote, ” I wonder what his Fiancee is going to get for this… Probably nothing at all…”

    If she fled the scene of the accident, she IS SUPPOSED TO BE INDICTED for fleeing the scene as well as grevious assault, possibly manslaughter.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    @Dr_Beat_Itup_ You got it right here….NO woman is worth losing your life over.. So sad another one of our young black men have been taken down by a mere female…Dont ever chase them fellas….replace them…

    She should be charged with involuntary manslaughter because on a different news site, she said “I was swerving trying to get him to jump off the back of the pick-up truck”…So yes, she should be charged to the FULL extent…But we shall see about that being is that she’s NOT a black woman…She’ll probably walk away unscathed…

    First,,rip..very sad indeed.But the TRUE MORAL of this story like any story is to TRY your best to make POSITIVE DECISIONS in your LIFE and the LIVES of your FAMILIES.Had STEVE MCNAIR,TIGER,and whoever else MADE better DECISIONS,TROUBLE 9 times out of 10 would of been AVOIDED.I was rooting for CHRIS HENRY to pull through.MEN have to Watch the kind of Females they get involved with.MEN have to CHECK their Own BEHAVIOR as well.Women have to do better about PICKING RESPONSIBLE MEN as well.Because as you see,ALL to often,TRAGEDY is WAITING around the corner.ITS HARD ENOUGH in life WHEN people are doing the right thing and making really good decisions in life.DONT up the CHANCES by being IRRESPONSIBLE in LIFE.26 to young to DIE over FOOLISHNESS.PERIOD.MAY GOD COMFORT HIS MOTHER and the rest of his family.ITS time to GROW UP LADIES and GENTLEMEN.By no way his is FIANCE not PARTLY RESPONSIBLE.THEY both BARE the RESPONSIBILITY in what LEAD up to WHAT happened..HE should of let her go to talk about it later.That being said,MAYBE she should of stopped if her life wasnt in danger.JUST WALK AWAY.TO much AGGRESSIVENESS from both MEN and WOMEN today.

    Funny how everyone has opinions but the only 2 people who know what happened that night …one is dead and one is grieving. We don’t know why she ran off in the first place and we don’t know why she didn’t stop…maybe she was scared. She was obviously trying to get away for a reason, what that reason was we do not know. Would your opinion change if we find out he whopped her ass before she fled? So the point is I don’t know and u don’t know. Prosecuters will charge her if there is reason….unless ur a lawyer for the state they live in let’s not put legal jargon on a blog! Let’s not make judgements on fault….

AND WE SURE DON’T NEED THEM TO TELL US THAT HE HAD A TROUBLED PAST. PERHAPS THEY SHOULD NOTE THAT HE WAS A GOOD PERSON AND LOVED HIS FAMILY AND REALIZED HIS BLESSING MAYBE TOO LATE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I WISH THAT HE HAD USED HIS HEAD INSTEAD OF HIS EMOTIONS. NO DOUBT, WOMEN CAN TAKE US THERE….BUT WE HAVE A CHOICE…AT THAT MOMMENT TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING. AS MEN WE MUST HAVE THE PATIENTS TO WALK AWAY. CHRIS WAS DEFINITLY NOT SHORT ON BRAINS….BEING IN THE N.F.L IS NO JOKE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR MIND IN THE GAME. I JUST WISH HE HAD OF HAD HIS MIND ON HIS GAME….THE GAME OF LIFE. I AM SURE HE WILL BE MISSED DEARLY. GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND THE YOUNG LADY THAT WAS INVOLVED.

    @SPLASH_WATER253 Your comments are the very reason black people can’t get ahead saying he got what he deserved just because he was with a “mixed” female. Your words make you look so bad, heartless, emotionless, sorry, bitter, evil, sadistic, scandalous person to the highest degree. Those words make you an epic fail all around. We are talking about someone’s life lost TODAY and you’re trying to make a shameless point about a shade of color. Black people come in all shades of color yet we continue to self hate based on how lighter or darker a person is. I guess you hate President Obama for being “mixed” too!

    Nothings going to happen to her whether she did anything wrong or not. In response to another comment, regardless of what led up his falling out of the truck she still had a responsibility in the situation. To either ensure he was ok, or if she was too afraid to do that then at least call for help. Who knows, she probably IS the one who called for help. Regardless of all that, he’s dead now and can’t tell his side of the story, so the only story we will ever get is hers and I PROMISE hers will be a sugar-coated lie. Why? Because he’s dead and she has to reduce her culpability in it. If she did do something wrong (EMPHASIS ON “IF”, because I’m not saying she did), she’ll stand before God one day and answer for it. Plain and simple. I don’t know you Chris Henry, but I hope you made it to that “better place” that everyone talks about. I’m all for a brother living his life right, doing the right things, and being a positive role model for the next generation, and I don’t care who you slept with. I pray that your reputation wont be tarnished in the coming weeks after the story of your “domestic despute” comes out. RIP bro.

    First and foremost, my prayers to the Henry family and the Cincinnati Bengals organization. Brothaz and sistaz, THIS IS NOT THE TIME to make judgements about Chris Henry’s fiancee ethnic background. A young man just lost his life and yet some of my people want to make bias comments about race. People, what does this matter? For the record, without knowing one’s heritage, then that person is mentally dead. In short, if we keep continuting the genocide( i.e finger pointing), then yes, we will not be respected nor will we achieve. Hopefully, this tragic event will make us understand that life is too short. If any reference, listen to Stevie Wonder’s THESE THREE WORDS. The lyrics will point out that if you don’t cherish your love ones, then it will be too late when they gone from the physical. PEACE.

What made me decide 2 make this debut was cause of one of the most ignorant comments I’ve read which came from the splash chick. You neva wish death on people. From the remarks you made if you choked on them words and died I guess you deserved that right?

    This story saddens me and I don’t even known him but I can relate to what his family must be going through. To lose a loved one for a senseless and mindless reason is always disheartening. I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the real story comes out behind this young man’s death.

    Save that race bulls/hit for someone who gives a f/uck. And u can absorb that like an a.ss whooping from a slave master. Secondly don’t put me in the catergory with u ‘brothas and sistas’ because I am WEST INDIAN. Those of u so devastated and appalled by my comments number one, either have no choice but to date non blacks cuz no black woman wants you. Secondly, are not appealing to the eye so therefore, a pale skin will take you and thirdly are another simple a.ss sold out biscuit whose best friend is probably named molly or lily. So f/uck ur irrelevant comments…lmao! I won’t lose any sleep…tisk, tisk. i hope these hardheaded negros can read this and learn a lesson.

    This story has been f*cking my head up so I’ve just been reading every article I could find about it, annnnnnd….I found the 911 calls. So far there are two; one from a woman who was behind the truck before he fell off of it, and one from the scene after he fell off. I don’t know if I can post the link but you can hear it on Youtube. The name of the video is “Raw Audio: Chris Henry 911 Call”. It’s on the Associated Press youtube channel. If it mattered to anyone. It mattered to me because I wanted to know who he was found by. All these news stories keep saying “when he was found”, but they don’t say who he was found by. Anyways. Two calls and neither was from the fiancee. Maybe she didn’t have a phone, I’m just saying.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Splash_Waters253/ Splash_Waters253

    Just like common gossipy black folks to twist my words around and make into something its not. I guess you and Hello Beautiful have a lot in common. I never wished death on the motherf.ucker. Reread my comment since you try to be so attentive and not one word indicated that I wished death on him. Choke on that like a b/itch would choke on a d/ick!!!!!

    I do not know any of you, and from the way it sounds, it looks as if those on here have never lost a love one. I know sometimes that we get into this thing about what color he is or I want my children to be this color and so on. Yet! this does not suffice the situation.
    first as the story is being alleged, that CH fell out of the back of the truck, if that is true and the vehicle was moving at a high rate of speed, then unless he has been trained how to fall from a vehicle like that he possibly hit his head and the pavement, concrete or whatever the condition of the road was that the truck was traversing.
    I am suspect because nobody in their right mind would try to be moving in a vehicle without a cab on the back of the truck (you usually sit down and wait for the vehicle (i.e. truck) to stop.
    Now the police alleged that they examined the fiancee` for physical and visible wounds and did not find any. We therefore look at the timing of the accident, because once again the Police are speculating this time that he either jumped (which i do not believe) or that he was thrown from the vehicle. I he was thrown, then that would mean that there had to be someone else inside the back of the truck that did this. I believe the latter and I also believe that that person may have gotten out of the vehicle and went in another direction.
    I say this because in order for someone to be thrown from the back of a pickup truck the vehicle must be moving at a high rate of speed and then the vehicle either stops or traverses a curve which geometric angle is thirty degrees or better.
    So let us wait and see, but I do hope that the Police Department further investigates this.
    Please let us move cautiously and another thing, please let us stop talking defamatory about one another, that is really all your enemy likes to see and here, and you can bet right now some of them are laughing that that’s one more that is not getting the big bucks and are congratulating themselves. Do not give the enemy any ground to stand on, let alone room to maneuver.

My second thought was “I wonder how long it’ll be before they try to make this about race?” And well, here we are. A man died, a young man..and people want to play the race card. Who cares about race???..a man is dead. thats all that matters!

    Thats so sad…how can there not be charges filed? he didnt have a history of domestic violence. Like everybody else I think this needs to be investigated. Prays to his children and family.

    man yall made this girl day by even worrying about what she commented about. I hope you get a good black man or West Indian man that does you right sweetie. Stay strong in your opinions no matter how much bull s**t is behind them. Its crazy how black females get in a frenzy when they find out something went wrong in a black mans life and his woman isn’t black. Give that a rest. I pray that his children find a solid male role model to give them that balance they need. RIP

    i dont understand why this has to be about race…i support interracial relationships as much as same race. if someone loves somebody, their color has nothing to do with it. that girl was gorgeous and she was his fiance, so white, black, purple or blue, he obviously loved her. im just so sick of seeing people with so much hate, because of race. we all bleed red, have two eyes, two ears, a mouth, and everything else. we all have a brain, it is meant to grow and progress as you learn better as we get older. people dont fall in love because of their race, its because if what they feel for that person. so i pray this young man is in his final resting place now, and he did NOT deserve this..nobody does..

BUT ANYWAY, IM REALLY SAD ABOUT HENRY AND THE CINCINATTI TEAM. I CANT BELIEVE THAT CINCINATTI FINALLY CAME A LONG WAY IN THE NFL WIT A 9-4 RECORD WHO BEATS BALTIMORE TWICE N PITTSBURGH TWICE AND WHO HAVE DEFEATED SO MANY UNBELIEVABLE TEAMS THAT I WILL NOT IMAGINE THEY WHOOP ON. CHRIS HENRY IS ONE THE BEST WIDE RECEIVERS IN THEIR TEAM. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PPL HAVE TO DESTROY ANOTHER DREAM OF WINNING THEIR REALITY DREAM JUST BECAUSE OF COLOR. CINCINATTI FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO WIN SOMETHING AND NOW ITS ALL TAKEN AWAY BY SOME CLOWN ASS BlTCH BUT I HOPE CINCINATTI STAY STRONG AND BE ABLE TO WIN THE PLAYOFFS TO MAKE IT TO THE SUPER BOWL. THIS IS A BIG LOSS 4 CINCINATTI, THEY ARE A 4 REAL TEAM AND I WISH THE BEST OF CHRIS, HIS FAMILY N THE CINCINATTI FAMILY AS WELL. R.I.P.

    i read most of this story on a new orleans webpage and most of the people that chime in are white. they’re thing was “its good he was turning his life around and is not like most young blacks that sell drugs, rob people, or is looking for handouts from the government. now to read how race is the issue on here shows how preoccupied we are in this world.
    i used to get crunk and go offabout these people but since i’ve been reading about god and his laws and how i have to deny myself (my thoughts,angers, make that paper above all else) which is really denying the beast and his methods of distracting us from what is important, all i can think of his how this young brother lost his life and how his kids now have to live w/out a father. the man was simply an entertainer to us like mj. we can beat the hell out of what we see as negative in these people like we never did harm to someone that didnt deserve it, like we never drink, smoke, cheat, lie, look at a fine sexy person from another race. funny how we can do all this bs, and look at someone else and call him a no good mf

    Splash water or who ever you are… you got alot of personal issue you need to address. This s**t ain’t about who your dating or your color, its about a young black man losing his life to senseless violence. I’m not sure what color West Indian you are but i’m assumming you skin is a black as mine, which makes you as much a n****r as the next black man. You tell a white man i’m not black i’m west indian and see what he calls ya…(n****r) just like the rest of yo brothas and sistas. I believe you must of had a brother take yo woman that why you sound so hostile. Oh and i’m a real n****r from Baltimore inner city, we don’t talk s**t over the internet we bust you in the mouth tough guy for poppin s**t. Get off our sight and logon somewhere else where you fit in wit yo own kind, cause we don’t like you homie.

    They haven’t said if he was “hit by a car” yet. The autopsy report will come out eventually. He didn’t have to hit the ground hard to die though. It takes very little trauma to your brain to kill you, it’s a sensitive organ. I haven’t seen how much time elapsed between the calls, thats what I’m wondering now. Now I’m wondering how long he laid on side of the road. *Sigh* What a terrible way to die.

    First of all I would liketo express my condolences to the family. Second of all, all this talk about race and who is dating who is so irrelevant. Life is precious and when it is gone it is gone there is no way to get it back he was someone father brother son nephew grandchild and so on it is a SAD day when anyone as young as he is passes away because of something so immature he gone and though the words that people have said do no affect him they may affect his family because he still has one out there so when you choose the words that you put on this please think about his family.

What does that have to do with anything? A man lost his life and leaves behind 3 children…show some respect! I mean come on…its not her fault that some of you are so damn insecure with yourselves! If a brotha has a thing for bright/light/white women then so be it! That is his damn preference and you can’t do ish about it but get mad! I am a dark skinned woman and never had a complex about my color. I too have dated outside of my race many many many times. Don’t get me wrong, I love my brothas but love sees no color.

    mrjenkins, i hope this is sarcasm. if not, please refer to his rap sheet. not even close to the righteous path. I guess the police set him up again and again to make us believe “misconceptions.” he was far from fearing god. he broke rules and turned his back so many chances. i don’t know why he was pounding on the glass of a truck, but it wasn’t for something christian-like. i am certain his death came from more evil acts. football-wise he may have talent but never lived up to it. far from greatest. he will be remembered by the public as a waste of talent and opportunity just like pacman. this wasn’t a 16 year old kid. he had more resources and supports than any of us and he blew it. thank god no one else is dead. no hatin’, just reality.

    Why are so many people are quick to judge or make comments on someone else life or what they did in the past. None of us know the real situation behind what happened so it needs to be left at that. Everyone deserves a second chance no matter what. I doubt none of us are GOD so who are you all to judge. Even if you live your life right but sit around and judge other people does not mean your going to heaven. Let it go the man dies and left kids behind. I have always been taught if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all. So since many of you guys dont have anything good to say let it go period. Rest in Peace Chris!

    Everyone is right when they say this tragedy shouldnt be focused on the race of the chick in question…BUT, I can’thelp but understand where the people who have commented on her race are coming from. It’s very simple really…

    For YEARS and especially these days, black men continually TRASH the black woman’s image as a rude, loud,angry, likes to fight type of woman…These types of stories just make it oh so easy to put to rest that NEGATIVE light that seems to fall from black men directly on to none other than black women. You men do notice that of all races of men, YOU black ones are the ONLY ones that think WE are the worst women walking the planet! ALL THE TIME! All black women want you black men to realize is we are NOT the ONLY race of woman that acts a fool, gets into fights, swings GOLF CLUBS, starts shyt, dramatizes or makes bad decisions when it comes to relationships. We only want YOU black men to say “ok, its not JUST black women that have issues, its ALL OF THEM!” OR Issues have NOTHING to do with race because EVERYONE has thier moments…Anger is colorblind, anyone can experience it when the right button is pushed.

    Again I say this is a tragedy no matter what the person’s race..had it been a white,hispanic whatever athlete, it would STILL be a senseless crime. Men and women of all races need to learn how to operate better than this in certain situations…

The dummy was the driver, why drive dat fast? lol! She intended on killing him, she did bcuz, he prolly didn’t want to marry her azz, they argued, she drove off, he chased her bcuz he cared, and she deliberately killed him, her conscience got da best her, so she went back to check on him.

IT SOUNDS LIKE HE EITHER TRIED TO JUMP FROM THIS TRUCK WHILE IT WAS MOVING… HE MAY HAVE LANDED ON HIS NECK AND SEVERED THE CERVIX. THAT IS THE ONLY INJURY I COULD THINK OF THAT MIGHT HAVE YOU ON LIFE SUPPORT AFTER A FALLING ONLY A FEW FEET AT HIGH SPEED. A DIFFERENT INJURY MIGHT HAVE KILLED HIM INSTANTLY. DAMN HIS FIANCEE MUST REALLY BE GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW. RIP YOUNGSTA

    Wha What? Excuse me @moniQTee. Severed his cervix? Oh my Gawd! Well it’s a good thing he died then, because without his cervix he could no longer get pregnant and have more kids.

    Yall think this man jumped on a truck for no reason, lost his balance and died.. Please lol. That’s so stupid. This has shady written all over it. You know this guy is standing on the truck so why would you drive fast enough to potentially injure him. And you don’t just fall off a truck. She had to be swerving trying to throw him off, and he was in a cast. Manslaughter. Hope she gets prosecuted. There’s a good chance she won’t though. Fellas need to watch the triflin broads..

    I agree with some of the the statements on here there needs to be a full investigation on this situation because i think this was foul play and charges needs to be filed on that b***h this was straight up murder! i mean for crying out loud, the man’s arm was in a cast, and sling, if she felt her life was in danger, she could have called 911, she must have been driving pretty fast to create that kind of damage to that man, if i was chris henry’s family, i would take all kinds of measures to make sure that b***h is put behind bars, and also, that any money that’s going to the children to be put in a trust fund and get a protective payee is put on the case, i would make sure that b***h doesn’t get a dime!

    i also forgot to mention is when these sort of things happen to black people, the police just write it off, no charges filed. BullS**t!

    These young women are so fast, so quick to make a mountain out of nothing and think the end of the world is gonna take place right away whenever a problem arise. I’m quite sure whatever the situation was she didn’t have to react the way she did without thinking about the consequences. Now Chris Henry’s death is on her hands and to think his kids have to live without their father because of this dumb, stupid woman. Where’s the justice out of all this? If the role was reversed and it was her that got run down what you think would happen?

    Guys if you are young, famous, successful & rich certain women will attract to you like flies. Once u get stuck w them u can’t swat them away. Don’t get too close or they’ll sting u w misery, misfortune, and perhaps end your life or career as u have seen in many a well-known celebrity athelethes recently in our news

    This story is sure to have an ending which will probably be of no suprise… I pray for the loved ones left behind and those who may suffer emotionally for the way they treated this brotha in life… As for SPLASH; were you dropped on your head as a child so that you could at least claim ingnorance via head trama? Or are you just incapable of thinking before you speak/write? feel free to claim one or the other, but do it soon please!!!

    [...] NFL’s Chris Henry Dead After Domestic Dispute With Fiancee [...]

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lovedot1960atY/ lovedot1960atY

    Everyone is yelling murder. I keep reading the same story about him jumping in THE BACK of the pickup. Never once was there ANYTHING that pointed to her running over him. Do you think that it is possible that she was leaving as the article said, that he attempted to jump into the back, as it said and maybe, just maybe he MISSED, or fell out. For whatever reason she was leaving, she seems to have been trying to get away from a potentially ‘bad’ situation. Not trying to take up for anyone. Fact still remains, Baby Daddy, Love, fiance-the man is ‘gone’. Just saying. And for what it’s worth, she has to live with that and without him for the rest of her life. Come on now…EVERYONE makes mistakes. Sometimes it only takes once to really ‘screw you up’, but you have to pull your socks up and go on. Instead of lashing out, not knowing what really happened, Let it go and let God…why don’t we instead of yelling loud, pray silently.

    gee, now if this had been a dead woman that fell off the back of a f**kin truck due to a domestic dispute, b***hes would be coming out the wood works with a stop the violence campaign, but I guess since it was a man I guess it wasn’t her fault she was trying to get away from the situation, and so i guess YOU WOMEN! dont want her to go to jail for Vehicular MAN-SLAUGHTER! because shes a Woman! domestic violence goes both ways people, but if a woman hits a man she can say it was self defense! if a man hits a woman, she can say domestic violence, if a woman shoots a man in the head she can say he cheated on me! and if a woman cuts a guys manhood off they can still be the victim! and make the man look like the criminal, females got way too many emotions. and this brother died just because of an emotional ANIMAL!

    This year has been the year of feminism! women want too much power!

    first it was riri and chris brown which sparked a 3 month domestic violence campaign, and then in June it was the shooting of Steve mcnair by his deranged girlfriend nobody talked about that s**t when it was the woman that shot him!

    and then it was tiger woods and his mishap, and now it is this! when are women just gonna realize that they cant be the DICK in the relationship, just shut the f**k up! , be the p***y and bend over while i go in! thats all. and thats the only thing a female should be doing nothing else because this is a MANS WORLD!

    @…90alji06….you need therapy….although I can see how you COULD have these feelings, I don’t quite understand how the men in question are not responsible or held accountable for their actions and decisions. No one deserves to be killed…..Steve McNair made his choice and his fate was sown at that time, the same goes for Chris Henry and Tiger Woods.

    @ blackplanetreaders…EVERYONE of these so called “superstars” want a trophy on their arms and MOST, not ALL, judge and choose these women by looks alone. MOST, not all, of these women are attractive and sexy but shallow and hollow inside with low self-esteem and psychological issues that can’t be nipped or tucked, enhanced or enlarged. Many of their needs are often left unmet because they put wealth, money, glamor, money, fame, money ,sex and of course money, in place of their well-being, knowing that this is all the superstar has to offer. Unfortunately,for both the man and the woman, she is mentally damaged and he loses his life.

    Now I’m not playing the race card with this comment, because I don’t care who dates who, but I can’t appreciate a man who dates within his race when he’s just a regular “JOE” then makes it big and feels the need to “UPGRADE”….I have no respect for that or them….I mean honestly, do you think they ever ask themselves while they are out on the town or at a party..”WOULD THIS WOMAN BE WITH ME IF I WAS BROKE?” The tragedy is, most of these women are groupies looking for a easy, carefree lifestyle and use their bodies(plastic, enhanced and all) to achieve it.

    MOST ,not all, of these “superstars” come right of the streets from neighborhoods and environments where interracial dating is frowned upon. Once these so-called “bombshells” get their hands on them they never had a chance.

    And its seems to all be set up by the NBA and it’s affiliates because they are the ones who invite these guys to swanky parties, are in control of the guest list and surround them with these women who will do ANYTHING.
    Just think, one day you can’t even get a date and the next you got handlers/managers telling you that you can have any or every woman in the room…CCCCCMMMMOOOONNNNN……you’d probably fall for it too.

    And last but not least, speaking on the racial issue, as i said before, these women they meet at these parties and etc. have an agenda, i mean they didn’t exactly bump into each other at the grocery store. As far as black women are concerned, we are strong, independent and self-sufficient beings. These guys are not looking for that at their age of recruitment, they are looking for dumb, numb and c**; party til we drop, sleep with you and your sister and your best-friend types. So not to say they deserved what they got, moreover, they got what they deserved by the choices they made.
    In this game, there are no winners. Both the superstar and the bombshell are meer pawns in a game being played by those larger than the two combined.

    This may infuriate some of you and that is your right. (hugs and kisses to all)
