I’m not saying he’s innocent, but it’s overblown currently with the information available. It’s irresponsible to go around making the kind of accusations and comments people are making across the internet.

Right now with Mixon being possibly on the bubble, he should be laying low.

Ill wait for all the facts before making any snap judgements

A portion of the yard toward the edge of the property was marked off. It's not known if he was home. I don't know who shot the kid, but it appears that someone saw the gun and freaked out.

Is this a real gun or a nerf gun?  Big difference.

Mixon house being in the way of this incidence doesn't make Mixon a contributor.

I get it.  If he was a kid off the street who got drafted and signed his first big paycheck, it would be somewhat understandable (not good, but understandable).  Bengals said..."hey Joe, you're contrite over the smoking the GF around in the elevator, come play for us."  On top of that, they gave him another contract, paying him even more money.

So, he was relatively quiet, played football, many times played quite well.  But recently, has seen his play slip, and his incidences with law enforcement go up.  I don't know if he's guilty of anything.  But, when you're pulling guns on people, having your home cordoned off with yellow police tape, something ain't right.

He's either hanging with the (WAY) wrong crowd (at least, I hope that's the only thing wrong), or something much more nefarious is going on.

Either way, this team is now filled with people focused on winning Super Bowls.  Joe doesn't seem to fit in with that.

Time to move on.

Also Joe a has a second ammendment right to carry a gun.
