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

This is a tough one for all of us, he was with us for nine years including our SB. Really gut wrenching to hear to say the least.
There was always Will Smith (Prince Of Belair) and then there was our Will Smith (A Saint).

William Ceravolo with a knife; Ceravolo, now in private security had just been celebrating with Will Smith, Pierre Thomas and family; coincidentally, attorneys representing ther Hayes family were able to secure a settlement from the City of New Orleans (wow, imagine the surprise) who had been seeking four million dollars (Cardale was rolling in a Hummer2 that hit the Smith car)...

So those of you thinking 'road rage' and 'gun control' can stow it away as this 'may' have been premeditated...

Most shootings in New Orleans are locals on locals anyways as most of the Landreiu-sheltered thugs know that people from the outer-lying parishes (counties) are usually carrying while visiting or conducting business in the city and know not to **** 'with someone from the bayou parishes' so you can abort hijacking this story as another opportunity to assault second amendment rights that our Founding Fathers sought fit in their wisdom to weave into our Constitution...

Yea there is definitely more to this story. I imagine if they were both drafted they knew each other.

Lets dont do it this time.
Lets dont turn on each other.
Lets dont try to make this into some sort of piece of the bigger picture.
Im sure a certain Other Site is melting down right now.
Lets dont do it.
Lets take this time to mourn a man, a Saint, and his family.
Let everyone else politicize.
And lets see what we can do, just as people, one on one, to preserve
the great beauty of New Orleans, and so many good people.
You can live in Acadiana, Shreveport, MS, TX, or the world, but our heart
is in New Orleans.
You are the Good People of New Orleans.
Lets keep it beautiful.

SkyMike's got a point. This one could get difficult this week as the national media descends on NOLA seeing dollar signs, and as a lot of keyboard warriors fire off thinking they know it all.

Let's be grateful the killer is behind bars and hope the justice system does the right thing based on the facts. Celebrate the life of Will Smith and wish hard that his family gets the comfort and privacy they need.

Why was my post edited? Was it not proper the way it was before?

Anyway this is so tragic. I was thinking of him this year and his impact on the team.

Jeff Duncan has written an absolute right-on tribute for Will Smith...

Seems to me. Premeditated murder. Revenge killing.

The fact is that we dont know all the facts. Who knows what really went down. im sure it will come out eventually but until then all we know is that Will Smiths life was tragically cut short.
