Post-Game Shooting in Cowboys Stadium Parking Lot

@EatSleepWinRepeat ??

Horrible. My thoughts and prayers go out to this victim.

my thoughts are with the victim of this crime.
best wishes sir.

Not unexpected.

Gotta wonder what motivated this crime to have agitated the crowd so much?? Fans chanting "kill him" is a lot barbaric..

The shooter hurt himself running away after he tripped over a jersey barrier.. a whole lot of idiocy going on here.

Also read somewhere there were a lot of Pats fans at this game.. don't want to make any assumptions, but "inquiring minds" want to know..

I was going to try to post a pick that was funny. Can't find anything funny about a football fan who gets shot attending a game.

Need to hear details.

Stunned is my first reaction. I use football as my escape from the sometimes grim reality of real life.

Some very dark humor, so apologies for this completely insensitive, thoughtless post:

Could Greg Hardy be getting some footage for his next rap song???

If this is true, the crowd egging him on may be responsible too. Hope there are accessory charges against those who did egg him on. This kind of **** cannot be tolerated. Even in Texas.

Let me get this straight...

So an hr and a 1/2 after the game, these two are fighting. One guy pulls out his gun and points it at the victim's head. He lets him go but then decided to pop him in the back of the skull while his back was turned. Throughout the whole ordeal the people in the parking lot are chanting for him to kill the victim.

Madness...Sheer madness.

A crowd urging an assassination in a parking lot after a public event with 90K people in attendance?!
This sounds like a medieval scene in a B grade movie. Horrifying.

I'm curious about where this actually happened. Safety at NFL events is an unstated but very clear expectation of the contract in the ticket purchase. That extends to the parking lots. There's no reduction in a person's rights because they are on the grounds of an NFL stadium.

IF this is what happened, it should be a major news national news story, a glimpse of the dark side of American culture. It'll trigger a wide range of conversation, and a wide range of views. For example, there will be people arguing that if more people were carrying weapons at the game, a better result would have been had. The Patriots will be held responsible because they cheat and thus other fans are more likely to be driven to this level of frustration and anger. Etc.

IF this were a Pats fan being persecuted by Cowboy fans, then it is the biggest sports story of 2015, and the biggest story for us as Pats fans (yes, bigger than deflategate).

And they couldn't even do it right. The guy is still alive.

Cowboys lose on the field and their fans lose in the parking lot after the game.

You need to rein it in a little.

This Inquiring mind bets it was a Pats fan that was shot. The reason i say that is because of the crowd chanting for him to be shot. It doesn't sound like a one on one dis-agreement.

I pray for this man's recovery. Few take a bullet to the head and live to talk about it.

Another shooting tragedy.
Saturday's newspaper was full of similar stories - fights escalating to murder when someone pulls a gun.

This is not the first case of a shooting after a sporting event.

Having a group of fans chanting to kill another fan makes this more chilling.
Presumably, given our culture, there will be dozens of cell phone videos.
It will be interesting to see the reaction. Some will point to a need to discourage people from resorting to easily-accessible guns. Others will argue that if everyone was armed, no one would ever pull a gun.

A sad outcome, and just hard to imagine a group chanting to murder another. Ugly.

Sadly, it seems Jerry Jones did get what he hoped for.

One report said there was post game tailgating going on, and a brawl broke out. So it wasn't a one on one ****kicking assault like some other sports fan fights leading to serious injury. For some reason after viewing the eyewitness interview in the story below I started wondering if it was a bunch of gangbangers, or two such bunches. Also, look at the background in that video to get an idea of the setting...

No, it will get swept under the rug to protect the shield.

Unless it goes viral at the grassroots. Unfortunately that would most likely involve blaming the Patriots, and likely the victim. So unlikely to go viral in a way that improves anything, just makes matters worse instead.

ooops...sorry Tony...I was wrong...make that 93,056 of them....

Over a Third of them were Pats fans, Joker.. The Metroplex has a large contingent of New England transplants.. Probably second only to So. Cal..

I absolutely agree that those chanting for the shooter to "kill him" should be charged as accessories to the crime

It really is chilling to think of what happened. It's one thing for an individual maniac to commit a crime like this. But it's another thing for an entire group of people to be cheering for a murder to happen. Stories like this really test my faith in humanity
