Certainly Collier is a victim and it is a tragedy what happened to him. However, professional athletes make alot of money, and are great big targets out in the community. My advice to anyone in the public eye, or anyone in general: Bad things are more likely to happen at 3 am in the community, rather than 3 am sleeping in your bed. Like I said, Collier is a victim, but just because you're a victim, does not mean you do not have some fault. His mistake is ignoring demographics and statistics of violent crimes. More violent crimes happen after 11 pm in the community. You significantly increase your chances of being a victim by ignoring these statistics.

I feel bad for Collier, he is the victim and he wasn't at fault. He was in an actually good part of Jacksonville where you dont expect stuff like this to happen. Wrong place, Wrong time.
