Ain't that peculiar?
ATLANTA --- A fitness trainer with a celebrity clientele was in a coma Thursday night after he was severely beaten in a downtown Atlanta parking lot, police said.
Darius Miller, 41, was attacked after trying to stop a group of men "videotaping individuals walking to and away from the parking lot" outside a nearby night club about 2:50 a.m. Wednesday, according to a police report.
Atlanta police spokesman James Polite said the men turned on Mr. Miller when he attempted to stop them.
"He was just outnumbered and overpowered," said Mr. Polite, who added that police have not made any arrests.
Mr. Miller is a career fitness trainer whose clients include performer Usher, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Takeo Spikes, former New York Giants player Carlos Emmons and Cosby Show star Keisha Knight Pulliam, according to Ken Miller, Darius Miller's cousin.
He was taken to nearby Emory Crawford Long Hospital, where he remained in the intensive care unit late Thursday.
"We're trying to wait it out and keep saying our prayers," said Ken Miller.

Ain't that peculiar?
He should have called the Police FIRST then waited to see how long before they arrive.
I don't understand why he felt it was his responsiblity to stop this group of men from video taping.
Nothing good happens after midnight
Meddling can be very dangerous. I wonder what the videotaped people were doing while he was getting the hell beat out of him. It's not even worth it. I hope he pulls through.
I'm with you seven, I wonder why he felt compelled to stop them from video recording. Somethings missing in this story.
And now, coming to a night club in Augusta near you...! I see copycat crime like this happening here. You have to be on guard everywhere you go anymore, and not comfortable and complacent.
Aha, those being videotaped were Shirley Franklin's (Atlanta mayor) daughters.
Please tell me that you are kidding! (seriously)
And he was their escort
sounds like a fish fry to me. 250am videotaping, stopping a group of men... i dont know but it will come out...
