Just knowing the skill he had seeing him walk like this is heartbreaking.

He made some bad choices and unfortunately is paying for it in the hardest way. Heart breaking

So many of us prayed that he would survive. Given what happened to him, it is a testimony to God's grace that he was able to be at the game today.

Alive let alone walking. You and I both know that nothing good comes after Midnight where they were when they got shot.

I dont know what he was doing that nite but teenagers feel invincible and act reckless. I behaved as such and by the grace of God steep consequences never came for me then.

I hope he can live in peace within his soul. Losing his brother and losing his livelihood has to sting while sitting, dwelling on it all.

He’s a fighter for sure! However, looking at his abilities now breaks my heart. Will he ever be able to hold down a professional career?

Yea, there never really was a clear description of what the beef was but bad decisions at 3am in the wrong part of town have totally different consequences than the bad decisions a lot of us have made.

I don’t know a lot about him or what his brother was like but he seems like a strong human. Hopefully he can recover and lead a good full life.

He will be able to earn money. He can become an advocate for people with disabilities. His story has already inspired people struggling to overcome serious injuries.
