obviously tragic and senseless violence.

however, i can't help but wonder whether this was truly random.


was sean, himself, a killer, a really, reallly bad guy? no, by all accounts.

but did he hang with the wrong people? was this a former acquaintance who wanted to get cash? was this somebody sean cut ties to or mouthed off to in a club? (none of which means he deserved to get shot.)

had this been darrell green, my only thought would've been how awful and random this violence was. but with sean taylor, i can't help but think that while he didn't deserve or probably cause this, could he in some way have prevented it?

either way, a horrible tragedy and i feel awful for his friends and family.

I doubt it was random...

The phone lines were cut, and was broken into eight days earlier....

It could still have been a robbery, it's just suspicious....

As tragic as it sounds, my thoughts were the same. The trouble he had been in where he was accused of brandishing a firearm, either pointing it at people or not, firing off shots, etc.

Sad nevertheless because they guy was a great player.

definately a waste; rotten shame for his family

[DlocRoth]

He gone.....

Sucks....Taylor was a beast.

That is a shame, a young, great football player that could have been a potential hof'er struck down by a chickenshit's bullet in his own home. I hope they find whoever did it and the fucker fries for it.

sad.. had the world by the balls....and well, i guess we wait and see what really happened...sounds to fishy to just be a robbery...
