Of course, those who often commit the crimes have previous stigmas. Maybe their predilection for violence isn’t obvious, but how many of us sat with mouths agape when we heard that Nate Newton was busted with, oh, over 150 lbs. of pot? For the second time?
Harrison was not this type of man. He was a good man, a kind man, a man with whom we would let our daughters mingle – if only because we could get an autographed football out of it. He held our trust, that fickle intangible, but he shot it down as soon as he pulled that Belgian-made trigger. Perhaps Harrison will have an easier route in gaining our trust back, a la Ray Lewis and his Madden 2005 cover. But when all the dust has settled, we might have seen another athlete tainted, and another gullible audience exposed. If we can’t believe in Harrison, then who can we believe in?

he is most certainly not the person you portray him to be, before or after the shooting came to life. he has, by all accounts, been a real @$$hole to most everyone in his life, only not in the public eye. let's not forget the incident at the pro-bowl where harrison and his entourage rewarded an autograph seeker with a 3-on-1 beatdown.
