And his fake jewelry. You've gotta protect your mall kiosk specials.

I've actually felt the same way. It's been incredibly unnerving and sad. I've choked up a couple of times today and haven't been able to read the news articles about them yet. It's just too sad.

All bullshite aside, go speak to someone if you feel you need to. I spend a ton of time interacting with individuals who are facing the lowest points of their lives to date..and I always advise them to talk to someone (within reason and without risking waiving a privilege). I don't care if it is a bartender, priest, or some random Waffle House waitress...

It's just so senseless. Da Da had a 4 yr old girl that's going to grow up without her dad.

Navigating those types of feelings alone will drive people mad.

Thanks for the concern. I've been with friends all day, I'm not bottling it up or anything. It's just very unsettling. It's hard to describe. I'm off to bed though.
G'night NBama, Bella, others

AUBURN, Alabama -- Eric Mack says he was so concerned about his fallen friends that he didn't realize he had been shot at the scene of a deadly shooting Saturday night.
The Auburn offensive lineman, who was hit in the buttocks, found two of his former teammates dead or dying, and three others hit.
"I just wanted to make sure everybody was safe," Mack told the Times and Democrat in Orangeburg, S.C., a newspaper near his hometown of St. Matthews. "I wasn't even worried about myself. When I first found out I got shot, I didn't even really realize it. I was still walking around checking on my teammates making sure they were all right.
"I just couldn't believe it. It just seemed unreal. Even now, it still seems unreal. I couldn't believe it."
Former teammates Ed Christian and Ladarious Phillips were killed, as was Auburn resident DeMario Pitts at the shooting at University Heights apartments. John Robertson is in critical condition at UAB Hospital in Auburn. Xavier was treated and released the night of the shooting, and Mack was released from the East Alabama Medical Center on Sunday.
Mack told the newspaper that his thoughts turned to his 4-year-old daughter, Kaliyah, immediately after the shooting .
"My daughter was on my mind ever since last night when I heard the gunshots," Mack said. "That's the first thing I thought about. I thought, 'If I don't make it home, who's going to take care of her?' That's what lifted my spirit. When I talked to her, that was really good for me."
Mack said the incident "was definitely an eye opener for me. I actually look at it as motivation. Now I can go out there and do something for myself and my family...especially for my teammates' families. Because they're not here to do it for them, I feel like that's one of my responsibilities now."
