Thy say this happened at 130 am ? and they had practice at 630 from the will Wade video... just saying this should have been avoided, why would you be out there at that time...sad all around


I bet you were fun to be around in college if you even went. See some of us had the ability to function at a high level with only a few hours of sleep. We lived life to the fullest and excelled in the classroom/athletic endeavors. The POS that shot him is the one to blame.

Agreed.

This is to other some of the posters in this thread: I didn't see it reported that this was a drunken brawl, so don't make assumptions. You don't know what 20 year old Sims was doing.

After watching the video, it looked like Wayde was assisting someone dressed in camo? (a friend maybe?) that was already down on the ground. You see one of the thugs go after Camo dude again. Maybe he and Wayde were together and maybe Wayde was diverting the mugging from that person to himself to give Camo a chance to get away.

Be respectful of the Sims family and his LSU family and don't fabricate theories of what could have happened.

Think of it as someone creating havoc about your only child.

We all need to pray that senseless violence against good people like Wayde Sims and Shelby Holmes is brought under control because in 2018, the inmates are running the asylum and it's not getting any better.

Have you ever been 20 years old or did you skip that general age?

a mugging?
highly doubt this was some random act of violence. They likely knew each other someway.

Wayde Sims jerseys can be bought from dhgate for around 20$ just type in his name and they come up. Just putting this info out there for anyone wanting one. I'm gonna order one to wear for game days for the rest of the year.

Would be nice if the proceeds went to the family instead of some sweatshop in mainland China

So does anyone know what he was doing there in the 1st place? Who he was there with? Where there any other LSU players with him?

Was he there for SU homecoming? Was he there for a girl?

Can’t think he would have been there for any other reason.

So many unanswered questions.

Lots of your questions are answered in this thread.

Excuse me for not asking you which word to use.

I didn't sleep much last night and went out at 6 a.m. only to hear this horrible news. I am as distressed and heartbroken for the Sims family as I was for Mr. Wally, Miss Terry, Nick and Hailey.

As a recent former resident of BR within walking distance of the PMAC, Tiger Stadium and the Box, this hurts a lot.

AS FAR AS my use of the term mugging, I saw Camo dude laying on the ground and Thug dudes going after him. When Wayde brings the fight near Camo dude, they lay off of him and concentrate on Wayde. In simple terms, Thugs would gang up on Camo or Wayde but usually not at the same time.

As far as why was Wayde Sims at Southern, it's my understanding that it is Homecoming Week there. Maybe since he's a local, he has friends or girls that are friends that attend school there.

Not trying to be argumentative, but... they were in the middle of Harding Street and it spilled onto the grass in front of the Subway.

It didn't occur IN Subway. Maybe the person to whom you are responding should have said "AFTER" an SU event.

Whoever the guy is who pulled the gun (red pants), he is sitting in his own personal hell right now. And I hope it just gets hotter and hotter and heathen turns himself in.

I hope this gets as much attention (since he was a known local athlete) as the Will Smith murder was in NOLA. I hope Red Pants gets no peace, no sleep. I hope that mofo is looking over his shoulder with every step he takes.
