Hmm...robbed at gunpoint in Chicago? Can Tank Johnson account for his whereabouts?

Should have styled the perpetrators into submission by throwing a Walker Wiggle on them, show them who the BOSS is!

LOL. This is the poster story for why when you get rich you move out the hood. And then make sure the community is gated in case of relatives.

Maybe he hired someone to rob him every few years. His boy walks away with his '05 Escalade and some depreciated ice. All he's gotta do is file some insurance papers and a police report to get a free '08 Escalade and some fresh ice.

Antoine Walker is a genius!

Antoine, we'll see ya on Court TV in a couple of years. Just make sure you're toe-up and wearing a wife-beater when the cuffs get slapped on.

once again an athlete needed a gun but the hood oriented david stern seems to know better. These guys need protection bc there r crazy thugs that will do anything for their money.

What in the world are you talking about with David Stern and an athlete needing a gun. An athlete can have a gun if they want one. In fact, anyone in th US can legally own a gun(excluding felons), so your posts makes little sense. There is nothing keeping Walker from owning a gun. I bet the majority of NBA players do own thier own guns as well. Noting wrong with that.

i wonder if they were telling how much he sucked when they were robbing hims and stated that since he was robbing the Heat, they'd return the favor. Probably stated when they left: Your taste in jewelry sucks and so does your jump shot.

I tired of you stupid crackers calling every black man, not named Obama, a thug. **** Stupid backwards rednecks in business suits. All that book learning and you can figure out your the real thug. Every time you deny a job, apartment, or whatever because of your stupid stereotypes. It's 2007. How is it that the person getting robbed is a Thug. You, Bill O'rielly, and Pat Obrien should just get off you cocaine white high horses and look in a mirror. Oh and **** and the horse you rode on. Next time your the victim of a crime Karma will show you love.

Thug must be code word for Black. Eat a ****!

July 10, 2007  11:41 AM ET

How did I know that even a story of a man being robbed would bring out the forum-goers thug-labels to the victim. <shakes head in sadness>.

Its amazing how well people use blogs to unveil there real identities.. IFor those who are racist but hide behind screen names please remember, "A coward dies a thousand deaths". Be a man and tell the black guy sitting next to you at work, on the train, at the gym that you think all black athletes are thugs. The world will never change, what a shame.

July 10, 2007  01:46 PM ET
