I went back to watch the INTERCEPTION in the SB... in case you don't know... He was one of the key lead blockers on the play.

I just want to send out my Heart Felt Condolences to The Smith Ohana!!!
What happened was so Senseless and Seriously Stupid!

I am just glad I got to meet and interview The Awesome Man That Was Will Smith #91!!!

Forever will you be "The Hardest Hitting Teddy Bear" I've had the pleasure to know!!!
RIP Sun 😢😇😎😢

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

I don't think self defense will hold water. Smith was inside his vehicle when it happened. Even if Hayes went up to Smiths vehicle and Smith flashed a gun. The fact Hayes walked away, got a gun from his vehicle and then came back throws out self defense. That is revenge not self defense. When Hayes went back to his car the immediate threat was over. He could have stayed at his vehicle or fled. Instead he chose to get a gun and go back to engage the threat.
Witnesses have said they heard Hayes remark that he had a gun and then returned to his vehicle.

he just looks like a POS

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

I got the feeling this case is going to get a lot of attention not OJ attention but its going to be up there.

The best thing this idiot can do is just lay down and take your punishment.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

What's this piece of craps defense. You shot and killed Will, then shot Will wife. If i'm wrong they were both in the car. What this piece of craps defence. May you rot in HELL!!!!

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

When time goes by and trying to be hard wears off he will realize how stupid his cowardly decision was and it will be too late for both families. RIP and prayers to all the innocent parties in this horrible act .

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

He'll have a lot of time to think about it. As he rots in jail, or if he dosen't get killed in there.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

It was too late when he decided to pull that gun...

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

He destroyed his family, and Will's. Three little kids do not have a father, and a wife is a widow.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

SkyMike has got it right, let's lay the man to rest before politicizing the event...

Lots of respect for Coach Payton...Lots...

But two things he's demonstrated he doesn't get - Defense and the Second Amendment...

Not everyone can call Saints security to geaux out and get him a PoBoy in the Marigny...

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

What is this fool doing with a gun. Already caught with an illegal one but now a legal owner? WTF. I would ban him for life or anyone else owning an illegal gun. Gun ownership is a massive responsibility for law abiding citizens who hold the responsibility in the highest regard.

Honest Question here, Does New Orleans have the Death Penalty?

This guy and many others that committ these crimes deserve it!!

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

2nd degree murder is an automatic life sentence, it was said earlier in the thread somewhere...

Death would be the easy way out! If I had the power, he'd be tortured every day for the rest of his life...

Like getting his finger nails ripped out one by one for starters

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

I can only hope that a lot of the other "lifers" he meets in Prison are huge Saints fans, I hope they make him pay.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

I'm sick to my stomach.

I'm angry. I'm sad.

I'm worried for New Orleans where this type of crime is more common than not.

My favorite city on earth needs a savior.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

I held back tears all day, but to all my BnG pals I sobbing now. prayers for the family and bless them in this difficult time. 44th, WILL SMITH will forever be remembered in this org. and in my home.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

No but Texas does

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

he just lost a 34 year old friend that he was mentoring, Payton can say whatever he wants

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

All the facts have not come out yet and everyone is ready to crucify the guy. He looks guilty as hell, but until we know all the facts we shouldnt rush to judgement.

Re: Ex-Saints DE Will Smith killed; wife shot after traffic accident
 

Seriously?! Innocent until proven guilty right? Just the fact that he's the only one with the gun and an eye witness who he shot survived... Or the fact that he chased down Will after his car was supposedly hit; I guess that was a decent excuse to pull a gun :rolleyes:
