This wanna be thug needs to spend some time in jail...He's just PLAIN STUPID.

Okay, that is the ninth different story that the "victim" has told so far. He also told a local tv station that he plans to "sue."

So James, the victim is always wrong... doesn't really matter what the story is if a gun is pulled on you now does it?

The victim isn't always wrong. BUT how many times do you think the victim would tell his story if the guy was just an average thug? Zip, Nada....just another sensationalized story.

McClain is just showing his true colors. He's a thug has always been a thug and deserves evertything that happens to him. Just look at his picture, he's mocking the whole situation. "He play football" what a loser................

Imagine how long this rap sheet would be if they could list his juvenile record! I hate it for him, Decatur, The U of A, and the NFL-- but this guy has tons of issues with his circle of friends. Maybe Roger Goodell can help him straighten out. Good luck. I know a few therapists he should probably talk to...

Mr. Tapscott and his attorney should see a significant increase in their earnings during 2012. The down-side is civil cases are traveling slow through the court system these days. However, McClain will likely settle this out of court.

has been a thug all his life , why should money change him , he,s just a rich thug now - - - needs to stay away from decatur and take his thug buddies with him - -- -- several hundred of them -- - fit right in with all the other crime there - - he,s just a little thug in a big pool there - - here he a bad boy - - he thinks - - - like you said earlier - - he play football wooooooooooo

Pistol permits (2nd ammedment) are the means where an honest and responsible person can have the ability to defend themselves with a firearm. The only reason you pull a gun on anyone is when your life or the life of someone else is being threatened . . . PERIOD!! Anythig else is just plain stupid and should carry a jail sentence. His pistol permit should be revoked.

I cant say what kind of person McClain was, but he has earned a wonderful career in football, seems like he would realize that fame doesn't buy you the freedom to do whatever you want to do. I see a man that could go down so fast and not have anything in the end. McClain keep following the path you are on and you will only be famous for the bad things, the good you have accomplished will be gone.

Rolando, like it or not you represent the University of Alabama,the Oakland Radiers, and DECATUR. GROW UP!!!

I guess the statement "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID" applies here.

AMEN ROSE!!

Tony, you are absolutely correct. Never produce a firearm unless you or family are in grave danger and then only if you intend to use it with lethal force. Once you let that bullet fly - the consequences cannot be retracted.

thug.

doesn't matter if the victim plans to sue or not... the action didn't warrant shooting at him while he was lying on the ground. Both of them were dumb asses.

What a THUG, he should be setting a good example for the kids in Decatur. He will pull that gun one time to many one of these days and someone else is going to have one also and they may react quicker than he does, Just a THUG, thats all you can say.

Living the Thug life... HA HA LOL.., way to go thug, thats all hes ever been or ever will be.....

I see a "Plaxico Burress" period on his horizon....

It is the culture of the Raider organization that is the true cause. They lead the NFL in penalties every year. Just kidding. Bad call Rolando McClain I expected more from you than this.

"people constantly coming and going from the house" THIS IS CALLED A DRUG HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet those new people living in the house have no job and are on welfare.

Everyone in Decatur knows his whole family are drug dealers, and common criminals! He is a classless person, i have seen how he acts in perosn on many occasions. He treats people badly as if they are beneath him, fans that pay money! This will catch up with him and i hope he gets everything he deserves

SOMEONE NEEDS TO KNOCK THAT SMILE OFF HIS A-E FACE.

James - Rumor has it that dealing drugs is a lucrative business. Is it really logical to think that drug dealers would go through all of the hastle to apply for and jump the necessary hoops just to receive a relatively nominal amount of welfare? Really?

I hope you realize that there are people who think someone who is reading the newspaper and posting comments at 2:08 PM on a weekday doesn't have a job and is on welfare. Of course, that would be a silly assumption, right?

There is absolutely no evidence to support your assumption that people who receive welfare are criminals and I hope that you, nor anyone you love is ever in need.

pray pray pray for all involved. Pray for the greiving family that has lost a grandfather, father, brother, uncle. Rejoice that a victim/son came home to his mother, sister,and friends. thank God that no one was killed. Thank God that a man/victim in the wrong place at the wrong time is able to go home to his family. thank God for the opportunity for these people to turn their lives around. Thank God for the gifts He's given to these young men. Pray for them. don't ad to their misery by judging them . Come on prayer warriors weigh in on this. It's sad but name calling and judgments should not prevail.

The Raiders need to keep him out of Decatur!!! People tried to tell him to get a new group of friends, but he wouldn't listen. It will take jail time to get his attention! He is an embarrassment to Decatur, Alabama, and the Raiders, he ought to be ashamed, but it looks like he thinks this is all a joke by the smile on his face! His coach needs to wipe that smile off, I bet Nick Saban would!

Just goes to show that you can give people millions, but you can't buy class!!!

Getting new friends will not help him,unless he changes, HE IS THE PROBLEM

HEY JAMES. YOUSURE ARE TAKIONG UP FOR HIM IN A BUNCH OF POSTS. ARE YOU HIS LAWYER JAMES BRENT BURNEY? SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT.
