The targeting of athletes off the court is getting ridiculous. It seems like a person just can't have nice things anymore without someone wanting to damage it or take it. Jamal Tinsley is the latest athlete to be targeted.Tinsley and his group of friends, including the Pacers' equipment manager, who was shot once in each elbow, were at Cloud 9 when they started taking some heat for the types of cars Tinsley drives and the amount of money he makes. The group then left the scene and realized they were being followed by two cars. They then pulled into the parking lot of the Conrad hotel, which is where the shots were fired. Go here for the full story, or here for the video coverage.
Now, I am not going to say that Tinsley is completely innocent in this, but at the same time, it seems like he was the victim in this situation. I'm sure that most people assume that since he is an athlete and something bad happened, it is his fault automatically, but even the authorities are saying that, as of now, Tinsley is in no sort of trouble with the law.
