Thread: Aqib Talib Shot

TALIB said it happened at a park; the COPS say it happened "near" a bar. Talib didn't want to admit he took a gun to a titty bar and accidentally shot himself because it 1) looks "douchey" (mainly because it is) and 2) is a crime. Even the NRA's publicly said guns+dark room full of drunk people=bad idea.


I get the feeling you'll excuse anything he does, because you consistently DO. Critical thinking says if a bullet went straight down the length of his leg "near" a strip club it wasn't a Midnight Frisbee Golf argument gone horribly wrong: He took a gun to a bar (so IS guilty of something) handled it carelessly and shot himself (twice.)

I don't "excuse" shit Joel, I accept it, he is who he is and there's zero crime in that. Facemask and eye gouging, proven SB winning ingredients. Suck it WORLD!

I admitted that it's Occam's razor that he shot himself, read again, nowhere does that indicate that he couldn't have shot himself in the ass at the park with a gun that never went inside a strip club on his person.

Even TMZ is failing to connect the dots you've insisted are confession, and they're the Douche Mothership.

He also told cops he was too drunk to remember what happened, which means he was drunk with a gun, which is illegal. That's if we accept that he was REALLY at a park at 3:40AM on a Sunday and NEVER at the coincidentally "nearby" bar where there happened to be a fight.

They well may be, but genetic fallacies don't exonerate Ray Rice, nor Aqib Talib.

Specifically, he told cops he was too DRUNK to remember what happened, but told non-cops he accidentally shot himself. Gun+drunk=drunk with a gun; pretty simple.

Nah, I think he was Russian.

You're making some giant leaps in logic to reach your desired destination.

He can get charged with discharging a firearm in city limits, disorderly conduct, and possibly reckless endangerment. I would suspect they would be able to find out if his gun was discharged, unless there was someone with him who was really good at "cleaning " those situations (recover the shell and slug, clean the weapon, and get any gun powder off his trigger hand, the gun powder on his backside isn't incriminating ).
He should lose his license, imo.

If he was the shooter and if he had the gun in the first place, which at this point has in no way been indicated by the police or the incident report, then yes.

I just want to know the latest on this little SOB. Does his ass still work? Does he need an ass to play? Is Elway so pissed he's going to kick what ass he has left? That's all I care about.

I know all of that, but what I'm suggesting is, the chance someone else did it is slim to none. You can probably go back to the first or second page of this thread where I suggested before anyone else here that he probably shot himself. Someone would have had to have been within 12 inches of him to fire a shot at him at that angle.

Cool. Let me know when the police say it.

I find it implausible that there is any possibility someone else shot him

I am hopeful that this is the case as well as for me it is the lesser evil of all the other possibilities

Uh, ok.

You aren't allowed to make a reasonable deduction unless the police agree with you. That has been MO's well established policy. It's not true, unless the police say so.

Well, that's kind of how these criminal things work. It's been a month and he still hasn't even been charged with the things people are convicting him of.

I offered an opinion, not a conviction. He wouldn't get much more than a slap on the wrist if my theory were true, and if I am right all I care about is him losing his license and being available for opening day.

I think he shot himself.

I also think that's about the only thing that can be proven at this point.

Furthermore, I don't buy that he was too drunk to remember what happened.

I hope that he didn't shoot himself at the bar.

I hope he didn't have anything to do with the other victims.

I hope a lot of things.......because I'm not a ******* douche.
